There is a little girl in Ireland who has a huge crush on her neighborhood garbage collectors. She enjoys seeing them do their chores from the window every time they visit her house. Maybe she’s fascinated with their truck and uniforms.
Her father, Wayne L., is a Reddit user who noted his daughter’s fascination in garbage collectors. He wanted to make her happy, so he instructed them to wave to her when they came by.
A week later, the little girl was waiting by the window as usual. She was pleased when she noticed one of the garbagemen approaching their house with a bag in his hand.
Her dad grabbed his camera and filmed the whole thing. The family ran to the door to greet the worker.
The Greyhound Recycling employee had a surprise for the little girl. He gave her a toy garbage truck, a garbageman coloring book, and a company hat.
The family was over the moon. They thanked him for his kindness and generosity.
“I went to the bin men the week before and told them my daughter loves watching them, and [I asked if they would be] so kind to just give her a wave next time,” Wayne wrote on Reddit. “We only expected a wave, which is why my daughter shouted ‘he has a present’ and my wife brought her to the door.”
“The shock and enjoyment experienced by us all is genuine—faith in humanity restored,” he added.
This is a wonderful story of a garbage collector’s deed and a young girl’s appreciation. He brightened her day with his gifts and care. Local garbage collectors are heroes in her eyes.
