How to tip trash collectors..help!!
Our garbage gets picked up at like 6 and we're not home at that time.
How do you do it if you can't be home to give them their xmas tip.

Re: How to tip trash collectors..help!!
The come at 6am. They use those machines to pick up the garbage can. I wasn't sure if taping it to the lid was a good idea.
Anybody else do anything different?

Re: How to tip trash collectors..help!!
I have taped it to the cans. I have also met them and handed it to them.
Those are the only two ways.

We are home when they come around (just wake up) so DH ran out to hand it to one of the guys. Otherwise I would go with Lisa's suggestion on a day off when you can give it to them.

Re: How to tip trash collectors..help!!

Re: How to tip trash collectors..help!!
I just got back from the store.
I am giving the garbage men $30 total plus a 12 pack of corona beer, wich was about 17 dollars
I dont drink beer so i dont know the price of these things!!!!
I thought corona was a good brand?
And i will give the mailman 30 dollars.
Do you think this is good?
