John, Geoff, Paul and Darren work for the City Council as refuse collectors.  Today they are doing the Trent Bridge run.  It’s actually the seventh collection of the day, and they will be back for four more collections.  They told us how much they enjoy working here on Test match days.

John said “Trent Bridge hire us in for the week.  They treat us as part of the family, not just as rubbish collectors.  The rubbish we collect is taken to the Eastcroft Incenerator, and once disposed of, we are back to pick up the next load.”  With over 17,000 fans in the ground each day, that is a lot of rubbish to dispose of!
