I happen to have a cousin that is a sanitation worker in NYC. He works on a truck and picks up the trash door to door, what we used to call a garbage man.
Granted he does work an extra shift 2-3 times/mon. Last year he made $109k. I realize FL is not NY but how much less can a TV garbage man make?
I’m all for tipping when you have something extra large or heavy that needs to disappear. I’ve given them $20 from time to time when I need something like a television picked up and dropped in the truck. But holiday tipping of the garbage man is a phenomenon I had not heard about.
