It's a crap job, but someone's got to do it.
As San Francisco's poop crisis reaches boiling point, the city has been forced to take drastic action to clean up its human faeces-smeared pavements.
Enter the "poop patrol" — a six-person, "proactive" poop detection and removal squad. Members will be paid a base salary of US$71,760 ($108,111) which rises to US$184,678 ($278,217) including benefits, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
"What we're doing is trying to be proactive," San Francisco public works director Mohammed Nuru told ABC.
"We're going to have a crew that's going to roam around and just try and look for these locations. We actually have data for neighbourhoods where we get frequent calls."
