Every Monday when our rubbish sack and recycling containers are emptied, I say good morning and thank you to the collectors who are doing a job that very few people want to do, is unsociable hours, stinks and they are dealing with the things that nobody else wants, so it's a far from pleasant job to do and I like to think that my weekly appreciation of them and treating them like human beings makes it ever so slightly more bearable for them.
This morning, just by doing what I do every week, I got the recycling box, food waste caddy and the paper and card sack all put together and handed to me. It's not a regular thing, but it does happen every so often and nobody else in the street gets that kind of treatment so I'm guessing it's a rare occurance on each of their rounds.
It's polite, friendly and doesn't cost a penny, so I'm more than happy to keep doing it each week.
