I’m a female bin collector – people always say it’s a ‘weird job for girls’… but I love it & here’s why
PEOPLE are surprised when they meet this female bin collector – but she loves it.
Julie is proud to work as a bin loader, despite people regularly commenting on the nature of her job – here’s why.
In a video posted on TikTok by @dennis_eagle, three Newport City Council bin collecting employees shared reasons they are proud to do what they do.
In the clip, Julie said: “I’m a loader I work for Newport Council, I go see loads of people when I put their bins back.
“They said ‘oh it’s not very often you see a woman on the bins’ but there’s a first time for everything a woman can do a man’s job, it’s not just a man’s job.
“So if any woman wants to start on the bins, you go for it.
“I love meeting new people, I love chatting, I’m a very chatty person, I don’t shut up.”
And other woman share Julie’s opinion, as people pointed out they often see other female bin collectors.
“Our place has two women at the moment, both started as loaders and are now drivers,” one wrote.
“We’ve got a woman working here and she’s a driver,” agreed a second.
Another supportive viewer commented: “Good on you.”
“We have several hundred female drivers and helpers, they’re great at their job and sometimes outwork the guys,” someone else said.
Julie was joined in the video by fellow colleagues, Ben and Duane, who also shared their love for the job.
Elsewhere in the word, female traffic warden Daniela Gaviria, shared her passion for the role – but for a different reason.
The Colombian beauty hears compliments all day from drivers who say she has the “perfect face” – making it easier when they receive a fine.
The 28-year-old has now picked up a global following after TikToker Casta Bermudez shared a clip of her in her uniform.
Another stunner who works in a stereotypically male dominated trade is Isabell McGuire.
Isabell impresses her TikTok following with skills as an electrician, but still ends up on the receiving end of hate.
But the sexy sparky loves being the only girl on site, proud of her career, and never feels uncomfortable.
