Thanks Carla, I was totally lost...:wah:

I expressly forbid the use of any of my posts anywhere outside of FG (with the exception of the incredibly witty 'get a room already' )posted recently.
Folks who'd like to copy my intellectual work should expect to pay me for it.:-6
I get along with ours. One is my daughter's baseball coach and the other one's son goes to school with my kids. No probs and they always take my stuff and are very friendly.
Garbage Men, Sanitation workers, Trash collectors what ever you want to call them are paid very, very well in the US.
ALOHA!!

I tip them at Christmas as they are very nice gentlemen. They also take stuff that normally can't go out for regular trash like furniture. We usually have to wait for bulk trash day which I hate. That's when everybody puts their crap out and people go through it. Yuck. I just call them up and it's never a problem.
No problem at all. He is a one man operation. Pulls up in a big truck, moves a lever in his cab that puts a retrival arm out to snare my big bin which then lifts in into his truck and off he goes.

We had a few issues with ours when the plastic bin bags were first replaced with wheely bins..... they 'had' to have a closed lid and 'had' to be placed right at the bottom of our drives so that the bin men had easy access.... once we got used to the new 'rules' though and the binmen had nothing more to complain about LOL.... we all get along OK... they do their job, we do ours.. s'all good
I was watching our "dustman" the other day. Hes an older guy that walks with a limp and he works hard. Id never thought about him before and I can only imagine what its like to do that job.
I made a mental note to give him a nice tip over the holiday's.
Our guys are really nice, we speak to them every week. They take fecken everything we put out. We give a good tip every Christmas and they take care of us the rest of the year.
