How much do you tip your Sanitation guys?

Just wondering what is the average? I think we gave 25.00 last year but my friend told me they tip 20.00 per guy and they have 3, so she gives 60.00.

What are you giving?

$0. Give what you think they deserve and what you can afford, not what other people give.

Re: How much do you tip your Sanitation guys?

Last year I gave them each a $20 giftcard for starbucks. Idk after all the responses I've read here (every time this subject comes up) I am leaning towards not giving them anything this year.

we do not tip our guys because they are very picky about what they take.

We are constantly doing work on our house and whenever we have massive amounts of debris they take all of it. They're also great about leaving all the cans how they found them. We give $15-20 per guy.

Nothing. Nobody tips me for doing the job I am supposed to be doing, I don't believe they should be tipped just for doing their job.

This sounds stupid, but when do you give it? They come at different times and I'm not always home.

nothing..

They don't even get out of their truck. They drive up, the arm comes out and grabs out bin, dumps it in the top, puts it back down, retracts and they move on. They are good at aiming that arm but really I couldn't give them something if I wanted to...

They come when I'm not home
They are FAST with that machine, I'd never make it to the sidewalk
They don't get out of the truck.

Oh you mean yours don't leave postcards in your mailbox letting you know where you can mail your tip, like mine do?

We get a holiday postcard with just names, no address. I put the money in a card and run out to hand it to them whatever day I happen to catch them.
