rubbish collector

Waste removal worker

A rubbish collector is a person whose job is to remove household and commercial waste, typically by emptying bins into a specialized truck.

This is the standard British English term for what Americans call a garbage collector or sanitation worker.

The work involves early morning rounds through neighborhoods on scheduled collection days.

The rubbish collectors come on Tuesdays and Fridays.
