Until we settled here we never had the services of the dustbin men. Even for the first 18 years of being here I used to take my own bins to the tip and empty them myself because I live down a lane on the other side of a weak bridge and the bin lorry wouldn't cross it.
It wasn't until the pandemic hit and the tip closed down that I started to haul my wheelie bins to the other side of the bridge so that the bin could empty them so I never really paid much attention until then.
The first time my bins were emptied I was on hand to watch. The bin lorry came roaring down our little road as far as the weak bridge, then it did a lightning three point turn and stopped facing the other way, the crew flung themselves out like a SWAT team and collected the bins in double quick time. Before you could say Jack Robinson the bins were emptied and flung back in the general direction of where they came from, then, as fast as they came, the bin men were gone.
I took more notice after that, every time I saw our bin men they were doing things at top speed, jogging around the village with the bin lorry keeping pace. I initially thought that they must be the most athletic crew in the country but on further observation I realised that all binmen seem to work like that.
There is a little b road a couple of miles from me, it is exactly one and a half miles long and just wide enough for one vehicle. It has three blind bends and three passing places. I use it for walking the dog when my usual walk becomes too muddy to tackle.
It's perfect for my purpose because there is virtually no traffic. I walk the length of it both ways and I might see two cars in the 50 or so minutes it takes me. The cars only travel at about 20 MPH and go even slower when passing me and the dog.
Once a week the bin lorry uses this road, it goes at about 60 MPH, horn blaring all the way. It doesn't slow down for anything.
So my question is this, Why are bin men always in a rush and why are they such enthusiastic workers?

Do they go home when they finish their round?
