dustman


person who collected the dustbins (rubbish bins) usually worked for the local council: The dustman came and emptied the bins early this morning.

Contributor's comments: I've never heard the word dustman used before in Melbourne. However, I have heard the word used in British films, programs, songs, etc. For example, the British song that goes "Oh, my old man's a dustman. He wears a dustman's hat...." etc.
