Sorry....my mind's gone! How would you say a person who collects the rubbish in Spanish? I've been told it's colector de basura...

In Australia it is ," Un colector de basura " . Garbage collector. Whom we

affectionally refer to as " Garbos" . Which made me so amused when

dear Dakie said his nickname was, Gabo! I thought he had said "Garbo" .

Thanks Heidi! I've looked up the word, 'trashman' (honestly...Americans and their funny words!) and got 'Basurero'. Is that suitable as well? - Seb79, Feb 28, 2011
