Mason Foley from Laceby loves nothing more than greeting his favourite bin crew as they pull down his grandparents’ street to collect their garden waste.
Crew members Paul Hines and Nik Underwood are greeted with big smiles and waves from Mason, gestures that began as soon as Mason learned to stand.
Since then, he has stood in the window of his grandparents, Jo and Chris Brook’s house and watched as Paul and Nik complete their rounds, taking Mason outside to say hello and have a chat.
Grandad Chris even wrote a special bedtime storybook about the bin crew after Mason began asking for stories about Nik and Paul.
Chris said: “It means so much to see the excitement in Mason’s eyes when he sees the bin lorry, particularly with everything going on in the world.
“Mason sits on the bench outside the tip every now and again and all of the bin crews wave as they come back.
The bin crews are amazing with him and always wave as they go in and out. Mason always saves a special wave for Nik and we aren’t allowed to leave until all of the bin crews have left in their cars.”
