I tip my trash guys $50 at Christmas each year. I NEVER have issues. In fact, I've caught them using their on-board water to hose out my cans before they put them back on the driveway. I'm sure I could put out a junked VW Beetle, and they'd take it. My neighbors, on the other hand, can't get them to pick up sticks that are an inch over 4' and properly bundled. TIPS.... To Insure Prompt Service. It works.
But the guy in this video only goes to prove that it takes an act of congress to get government employees fired.
