I was a bin man in the 60s. It was hard work but I was 17 years old and very fit. we collected the bins from the rear of the house as they never put the bins out in those days. the bins were full to the brim with ashes, tea leaves, dog muck, garden waste, bricks, rubble etc. The tea slops ran down our backs when we picked the bins up and onto our shoulders, sometimes it took two men to lift the bin if the bin had old bricks and rubble in it. The hot ashes burned our backs and our clothes were always soaking, we weren't supplied with overalls as the bin men are today, so we wore our old clothes. We had fires in the back of the waggon as some of the ashes were still smouldering. The men in the video went to a cafe for breaks, we worked without a break so we could get finished. Despite this, I loved the job as the men I worked with all worked as hard as me, there were no slackers. I had a good friend who worked with me who was killed, he was riding on the step of the wagon, as we all did and he was knocked off when the waggon went too close to a lamp post, and his head was crushed by the back wheels. The driver was so shocked he never drove again for several months. The bin men of today have it good, with no heavy lifting, overalls supplied, and a decent wage.

this procedure is so absolutely satisfying to watch, every morning when I was younger I would watch the bin lorry slowly creep down the street and the bin men rhythmically loading and unloading the bins and then jump in and go to the next street, so organised.

Thanks so much for filming this, my 15 week old puppy is absolutely terrified of the bin men so have this playing as background noise to try and get her used to the sounds, it’s really helped me and her out :)

This is great! I’ve found many videos on here to help me fall asleep. Old creaking boat, torrential rain on tin roof and laundry room dryers, all extremely helpful! If this could be put on a 10 hour loop cycle… I may have a new favourite. 👍

By coincidence I live in Rotherham and the bin men have just collected. Brown and green this week 😊

Been 6 years and this is still golden

Thanks for putting this up My 1 year old loves seeing the bin men and this keeps him quiet in the house lol

out of every person ive ever spoke to bin men seem the soundest.

My 1 year old Grandson gets excited every time the bin lorry comes down the street so this video is perfect. Thanks for posting.

Thanks just shown this to my 2 year old to explain what happens and we’re waiting for ours.

I have this set as my alarm for Wednesdays

Christ , this takes me back. It was a good job really. Kept yer fit! 👍Good crack too.

I work on the bins in Milton Keynes. I love my job, and do it with a professional attitude.

The history of bin wagons in fascinating

My 1 year old is transfixed ❤🎉

Great one mate nice lolly )😉👍

this truck was on my black bin round when i lived in north east derbyshire district council

Nice, well done for the amount of views

it would be great to get a shot of the top rail as it's job is to stop the bin falling in and it also helps to dislodge any waste stuck inside. The top rails differ in council wagon, but this one here looks substantial and it doesn't wobble at all.

The bin men here can't even be bothered to put bins back where they found them. And the bins have got wheels. In the 70s bin men had to go round the back and pick them up over their shoulders and carry it all the way to the lorry and empty it themselves. Now they have it easy and still can't be bothered to do what they are supposed to. IDLE GITS!!!!!

A bin man once said to me years ago if you get a new TV or microwave or item then rip the box up and put it in a black bag and then put it in the bin don't put the full box outside on top of the bin because Not just your neighbours but other people who are walking past like burglars or know somebody whose a burglar now knows that you have just got a new item and it is worth trying to break in and get it it's the same with if you've got a caravan on your driveway and then it stood there for 11 months a year and then all of a sudden in August it's gone it's only natural that there's nobody in the house because they're on holiday ,,yes ,, somebody might be coming round to check on the place but they're not there 3 in the morning are there

nice

During when we STAYED in the EU I remember when bin men used to take every bit of rubbish or recycle every week but now they LEAVE rubbish all over the grounds this day and age. ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL!
