In Sumter, we changed garbage companies. These guys have only been doing it a month. It’s the past guys that should have received a tip since they did it all year. As for the others , it really depends on how hard they work for you. Have they done anything out of their normal routine for you? If so, tip more. My lawn person is great and always keeps my lawn looking good so I give him more. However, I’m constantly having to check or call back my weed guy, probably not as much because he causes me more work and time . He also only come once a month. Paper person will get a bigger tip because it is every day. I need to check the regs on the mail people because I always gave them more than the post I read. Frankly , I kind of resented that one because they are salaried and well paid much like a teacher and teachers aren’t rewarded for their work. Neither are the police and these are all federal/state employees. If the regs are right , that someone posted they definitely will be getting less from me this year. I do , however, lean to gift cards now rather than cash. My tips are between $25 and $75 depending on who it is.
