[@manichairdo6346]

Insightful. Before we produced so much garbage, in Scotland over the years we referred to those men and now women...as dustmen, rubbish men, bin men/women. They would get tips at Christmas. Not so much now as they work in teams. Recycling teams. We had a fun song that everyone loved...my ole man's a dustman. By Lonnie Donegan. 3 million plus hits.

[@79Rottie]

As a driver for Waste Management, I can tell you from personal experience this is the highlight of my day when the little one's come out and talk to us, watch the truck, give us water, snacks. I love being able to light up their day with the air horn, or letting them watch the truck "eat the trash" as they say lol.

[@bellakatherman1477]

79Rottie that warms my heart.

[@lewischinquita4278]

As a resident I can say the highlight to me is to hear the sound of the trucks and estimate how close they are to come around the corner before coming up the street. To see the worker show pleasure in working by collecting the iteams put out for pick up and puting the garbage can or recycling bin back in the yard and not toss in the streets. Not to make any residents upset. Also seeing front end drivers dumping the dumpsters to make more room for more garbage to best help the residents and owners of business and to help keep the community looking good. I like looking at all the different company trucks but when I see an old rusty one then I say they still have it operating. The old but good. So many of the worker are kind and tenderhearted and show good hospitality. I also like to tell them thank you and good morning or good afternoon. I know to pray for us all. They are important to the communities and we should consider that it can be taxing on their body. They also be in all types of weather to assure pick up. We all should realize how important they are because when we realized how important is to have those things picked up especially those things with an awful smell. Thank You and all the Management and staff. GOD BLESS.

My family moved and I didn’t see him until I was nearly an adult. It turned out, he was also my great grandmother’s mailman. We never knew. And I met him again at my great grandmother’s wake. He had tears in his eyes as he said “I got to see her again” to my mom. I’ll be 50 this year and I’ll never forget Handsome John. A lovely man.

When I was a little girl, I use to live in the Caribbean and I was about 4 years old and this American man that came from California named jean Paul Evernaski, he pretends to be santa and he offers little gift to children. When I was 6, I red him a note saying I am happy to see him each year but this year I wanted to give him a gift, so I handed him a painted picture. He said thank you my little best friend. My parents moved from where we were living. At 17 years old, I return to the same village on the 24 looking to offer him a gift for all the time he made me happy. There was no traces of him. Today 26 years later, I would offer him any gift he ever wanted, as Iong as I can afford it, just to tell him thank you. I don't know if he's alive, but often times I tod my kids that I will never let go from this childhood memory. If he's alive , he'd be in his 70 now or more. Sometimes people came in our lives like a season, some brings warmth, so cold and some shake our world like a breezy wind, but there are those, who'd left footprints on our soul until our eternity.

Oh! That's so touching! See the love he has for his ODee friend! What touched me most is Odee hugged the baby with love but with little hesitation! And baby's mother did not stop him doing that! It is Love ! Nothing but Love💞💞💞💞🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖💖

This just goes to show that racism is taught and has no place in any society. So heart warming and exactly how rational people think. What a great man Old Dee is, and what a great mother she is.

[@smfmnoneya9134]

Oh, ok James, so you think my comment was racist...stupid much???? Argumentative much???? How about I wont tell you what to watch and enjoy and you don't tell me what to watch and enjoy...How about that. If you got that I am racist out of my comment....I am suprised you even know how to use a computer. Idiot.

i think you were simply thinking of him as a person who collects trash for his job, and not like a trashy person. I discern by the rest of your sentence this video touched your heart, as it did mine. :)

❤️I love seeing how these hard working men--the garbage man take time to acknowledge the little kids that idolize them! My heart is happy!!!😍

[@AL-og2zf]

that's so so cute

[@ailsawalker7896]

That made me cry because when MY kids were about the same age (2/3 years old) they used to rush to door to wave at the bin men......as a result of that, one night when we came back after a long day I found a chocolate selection box hanging from my door. The message inside said “Happy Christmas to the kids at number 2”.........I was a single mum & it just melted my heart. To this day, my kids who are now 21,22 & 31 have NEVER been able to forget that kind gesture.......I have brought them up to show respect for EVERYONE. When times were hard ( for many years I had to forget that I had a degree & take whatever work I could as I lived in a rural area. That meant that for much of that time I did cleaning jobs. In hindsight I met & befriended some WONDERFUL people whom I still stay in touch with and regard as my friends.......NEVER judge a book by its cover!

I’m not gonna lie I was overflowing with tears watching this

[@jamesrichardson4965]

As a former trashman, I can relate. You meet a lot of good people along the way. Especially kids. The trash truck itself bring the excitement. Because it's big, it's loud and you have trashmen moving at a fast pace. Kids would chase the truck ask us to blow the horn. Most times the parents would come out and wave to us as well. I have friendships with my former customers till this day.

Very sweet! My little nephew aged two, here in NZ, always got excited when he heard the big garbage truck coming and ran outside to sit on the step and watch in awe! Something about little boys and big trucks! I got a marriage proposal once from a 3 y.o. boy who said, "We can get married: I'll drive a big truck and you can stay home and make me cakes!" :-)
