Chaos exploded when the maniac tried to force a massive cardboard box into their wagon.

Rear-view footage shows the blue-shirted lout tussling with the Veolia binman as the lorry rolls down a street.

He frantically tears up the box as another collector appears, before they chuck his waste back at him.

Speaking of the incident, an unnamed binman said: “I grabbed the guy’s bin but didn’t take the extra waste.

“Next thing you know he’s coming out of his house all angry like.

“He comes over and starts wrestling with the box, and me, shouting all sorts.”

Amid the bin rage, a woman bursts out of nowhere and tries to hold the nut back.

But he overpowers her and the workers before he spills rubbish all over the street.

The binman said he was hit by flying debris during the explosive encounter.

But the clip is just one of a raft of nasty incidents binmen are facing on a daily basis across Sheffield, South Yorkshire.

One clip shows a builder emptying a bag of rubbish into a bin lorry while “hurling abuse” at collectors as they go about their work.

In another, an angry van driver narrowly misses workers as he careers across a pavement and down a narrow gap to avoid a bin lorry.

Richard Hulland, chief Risk Officer at Veolia, said the rise in violence against his firm’s employees has to stop.

He said: “No one should be abused simply for doing their job and we’re determined to combat this unacceptable trend.”

Veolia said their staff reported over 40 cases of abuse from the general public in 2022.

The surge in physical and verbal abuse has prompted the launch of ‘StreetKind’ campaign – with cameras fitted to the back of lorries.

Cllr Joe Otten, chair of the Waste and Street Scene Committee at Sheffield City Council, said he hoped the footage would reduce the abuse meted out to binmen.
