I am glad you made this post. Tge way you wrote it am finally just beginning to understand English it is different from American.

Here is how I deal with our garbage men councils. When I need someone to do stuff for me I grease them give them money.

At Christmas time I give them all Christmas cards with money in them. If I have a lot to be removed I make sure I get to them before they get to me and ask them to do something for me and grease them again.

I see their truck on the street I wave to them. If I have some to throw out that is still good. I offer it to them.

I make them feel like I am a good guy, and also make them feel like they need me.

I have a futon like a sofa/fed that my son could not take with him when he moved to another place. So he brings it to my house because I have a large house. I can't use it and he thinks it is too good to throw away.

I am going to ask my "councils" if they can use it. If not I just put it out for them to pick up.
