In Alaska, waste disposal is a much tougher business. In Ketchikan, the black bear capitol of the world, Geo will race to collect trash before the bears can get to it. Then, Geo teams up with a guy who may have one of the toughest jobs in all of Alaska-a remote maintenance worker. This guy is the sole plumber, electrician and carpenter to nearly a dozen bush villages in the Yukon Kuskokwim Delta, an area the size of Washington State. Once Geo's out of the bush, he'll head to the frozen city of Fairbanks and make house calls to help thaw frozen septic pipes and tanks so that Fairbanks can be a free-flowing city once again.
