I always buy them a huge tin of chocolates to share. Some people still tip them with cash though.

Well, I'm in the US and we tip our garbage men every Christmas. We also tip the pool guy and the mailman. All of these people work very hard all year for very little money. Christmas is the time of year when we should all be thankful and grateful for all we have and passing on a bit to someone else is always a kind thing to do.

Oh, yes.
My brother works as a refuse collector in the UK.
(I won't say where)
Over the course of one year the tips split among the team of 4 (Including Christmas) amounted to around £500, EACH.

Move to my area, everyone that provides me with a service through the year gets a tip & a christmas box. Not long to go, can't wait. Love christmas

Why should they. They get all the free food out of the bins

I wouldn't be surprised they don't get Xmas tips since we're only in June, maybe in 6 months....
Wait and see!

Think all this has gone out of the window years go. No one bothers anymore.

They only start doing an half decent job coming up to Xmas.

If you don't give them one they empty your bin - down your front path
