Monday's collection day

Bang go the bins

That's when Sinny garbos

Cart away our sins

Beer cans and smoke packs

And little fishy tins

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

Our guys are really nice, don't hold us to limits and actually walk down the block to meet you if you go charging out at the last second with your can..:-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.

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.

ours are losers..............

they don't care about anything........but themselves

to many times they collect the garbage and knock over other kinds!:wah:

they throw the bins in my driveway.............hello, did I leave them there?

how would you like to have to get out of your car, move the bins before you can get into your driveway?:-5

and they pay you 25.00 an hour for this?:-5

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.

Maybe they are transformers.............

IE..............

Dustmen to Dustmites?



Yes that's it.......... they are now "Only dust in the wind" and are NOW on your dinning room table;)

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 would say we have a professional, working relationship. No more, no less.

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 bin men are not that nice!

If you asked me about the recycle guy that collects our bottles and things...

That's a different story! :sneaky::-4

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.
