Single word request: the person that “picks up things”
A person who drives vehicles is a "driver"
A person who swims in the water is a "swimmer"
What do you call a person who goes around and picks things up? "pickuper"?
It would be someone who literally grabs a box on the ground and puts it somewhere else (at higher altitude) ie: from the ground to a truck or from the ground to a shelve
An example:
A: I need to pick up these boxes
B: The pickuper will do it for you

it was a joke: people who are out on probation are sometimes told to do a certain amount of litter-pickin'. Your question is very unclear: does this figurative person pick up lots of things, or are they an occasional picker-upper? BTW, From the SWR tag: "This tag is for questions seeking a single word that fits a meaning. To ensure that your question is not closed as off-topic, please be specific about the intended use of the word. YOU MUST INCLUDE A SAMPLE SENTENCE "

Are you talking about a picker in a warehouse, or a loader at a loading dock? Or maybe a stockboy?
