Well , they didnt empty my recycle bin (im very enviro friendly to counterballance my Scoob ownership) because i (mistakenly) put one peice of the wrong type of clear plastic in (a fruit punnet) 4 weeks is a long time ! Fair enough it was my mistake (plastic bottles only ) but most of what would have went to recycle in those two weeks ended up in the landfill bin.
But not as bad as OP , no.

It's amazing what £20 at christmas will do for the rest of the year, it's probably the best £20 i spend all year round.
My bin men take anything and everything i put outside next to the bins, they pull them off the drive if i forget and put them back, i think i'm on the Gold service package.
They even move the bin wagon for me when they see me coming, the driver used to be on the bins and i've always said hello, give em tips and just been nice to them, my nan would make them and the window cleaner mince pies and cups of tea, and always taught me to look after the bin men at xmas.
It would appear some treat them as second class citizens so get the service they deserve.

.ive worked enough low paid jobs to remeber who is good to you and who isnt!!
fixing punctures/swap overs, they slung you a fiver and all was done with precision effieceny! stick on alloy weights for balancing were used instead of hammer on ect ect.
if youve got a small amount to be able to tip at xmas then id definatley advise it. the guys really do appreciate any kind gesture, and are more than helpful during the year if they can be.
its not the monetary value (playas at part, but it shows appreciation), its the dispaly of appreciation of the guys doing the job, rather than pretending they dont exsist..
as long as i can affoard to, i tip posties, bin men, waiters, and give to the homless on occassion.
i cant see a reason not to tbh.
yes many are paid for there services - to do a job. but being appreciateive costs very little.

People who are stupid enough to drive dangerously near those working by the lorry should be reported too.
