I don't think anyone really knows for sure. There's a turnover of workers. On my street there's a driver and two guys picking up the trash. Then on Friday there's a separate pickup for recycling and on Wed. there's a separate pickup for yard waste. Who's going to bother noticing if it's always the same guys. You'd have to run to catch them early in the morning.

Years ago when I lived on the east side of 441 it was one guy working alone. He drove the truck and would stop, get out, and pick up the trash. Everyone knew him and tipping was easy.

I don't tip for garbage anymore.
