A woman was shocked when she discovered a binman had been in her garden to pick up her bins after she had forgotten to put them out.
The woman, who lives in Birkdale, Merseyside, said her bins were due to be collected on Thursday.
However, after "too many celebrations" following England’s Euro 2020 semi-final victory over Denmark on Wednesday, she forgot to put them out, Liverpool Echo reports.
General waste is collected fortnightly in Sefton, meaning the next collection will not be until July 22.
She left a message for the binmen on a neighbourhood app on Thursday (July 8), the post read: "Bin men sometimes get a lot of stick so I thought I'd give them a shout out this morning.
"We forgot to put our bins out, too much celebration.
"Anyway, got up and the bin men had collected our bin from the garden, emptied them, and then put them back.
"How cool was that? Thank you to whoever it was that did that."
People were quick to respond to her post.
One woman wrote: "Good for you to notice what they had done and be thankful for it! So many would not even have noticed.
"Could you stick a bag of sweets or something to the bin lid next time with a thank you card?"
Another said: "I remember a time years ago where the bins were metal and had no bin bags. The bin men came into the drive and humped the bins on their back and tipped them individually into the truck.
"A friend wanted to hide her bin so those passing by couldn't see it, and the bin man knocked at the door and said 'Hey missus where have you hidden it this week?'"
