I've done this for the last ten years. Saw one of the binmen in the pub a few days before they came round and i asked him what would he prefer for the tip and he said a few cans of lager cos money got lost when they were jumping in and out of the wagons, they didnt see it and either left it or chucked it in the bin wagon. Anyway I got them 4 cans of lager and left them on top of the bin in a carrier bag and christmas card attached. I had to go out and the binmen were coming back up the avenue and they stopped and said thanks for the lager they were going to divvy it all up when they got back because a few people had left booze out for them. and a couple of them said they preferred the booze than the money.
