Well the Bin men have just been, or rather the bin man. We usually have a large truck with a team of people working their way along the road, loading pairs of bins onto the rear of the refuse truck. Today we have a much smaller truck operated by one person. He parked up, got out and loaded a couple of bins and then replaced them, rinse and repeat...
Perhaps it is the driver shortage taking effect. I can see how it would be more attractive to drive a delivery truck for one of the Supermarket Home Delivery fleet than a smelly rubbish truck.
