In British English a term for someone who takes away your garbage to dispose of it is ‘dustman’

Noun

A man employed to remove household refuse from dustbins.

Also British English, the rather lovely, and sadly now very much in decline term for someone who takes away your rubbish to try and sell it is ‘the rag and bone man’

Noun

An itinerant dealer in old clothes, furniture, and second-hand items.

You may want to consider «scavenger,» which means someone who puts to use what others have discarded.

There is a US tradition of the rag and bone man, a junk collector. They don’t pay for what they collect, but rather sell it along to recyclers. In my distant youth I would see them driving pony-carts.

You may also hear sheeny man in some locations but this has an unsavory history as an anti-semitic slur (though I doubt people using it today would be aware of that).

One term is gaining popularity in my region (central USA) due to the History channel show «American Pickers» — The person would be called a Picker.

a person or machine that gathers or collects something.

In this case, they are gathering «junk», sometimes to collect, but also sometimes to gather and then sell.

There may be a slight difference however, in that a picker is choosing, or picking, what to take from you — only the stuff that he wants or is able to sell.

None in my locale.

we have «bin-men» who empty our non-recyclable bin into what we used to call a dustbin-lorry. We also have «bin-men» who empty our recycling bins into a separate vehicle. The local council arrange for both collections.

I suspect you’d have to talk about bin-men a lot before the need for additional qualifying adjectives started to seem tedious enough that you’d feel a strong need to find or invent a new noun.

The way Reverse Dictionary works is pretty simple. It simply looks through tonnes of dictionary definitions and grabs the ones that most closely match your search query. For example, if you type something like «longing for a time in the past», then the engine will return «nostalgia». The engine has indexed several million definitions so far, and at this stage it’s starting to give consistently good results (though it may return weird results sometimes). It acts a lot like a thesaurus except that it allows you to search with a definition, rather than a single word. So in a sense, this tool is a «search engine for words», or a sentence to word converter.

I made this tool after working on Related Words which is a very similar tool, except it uses a bunch of algorithms and multiple databases to find similar words to a search query. That project is closer to a thesaurus in the sense that it returns synonyms for a word (or short phrase) query, but it also returns many broadly related words that aren’t included in thesauri. So this project, Reverse Dictionary, is meant to go hand-in-hand with Related Words to act as a word-finding and brainstorming toolset. For those interested, I also developed Describing Words which helps you find adjectives and interesting descriptors for things (e.g. waves, sunsets, trees, etc.).

In case you didn’t notice, you can click on words in the search results and you’ll be presented with the definition of that word (if available). The definitions are sourced from the famous and open-source WordNet database, so a huge thanks to the many contributors for creating such an awesome free resource.

Special thanks to the contributors of the open-source code that was used in this project: Elastic Search, @HubSpot, WordNet, and @mongodb.

The French translation for garbage man/collector is éboueur yet, I have never heard anyone use this. Is there a frequently used word for garbage man or collector?

«éboueur» is the right word in French, even in Quebec. It is true that few people use the word. I use it!

It is true that few people use the word.

Qu’est-ce qu’on utilise d’autre ?
C’est surtout qu’on ne parle pas si souvent des éboueurs… :rolleyes:

«éboueur» is the right word in French, even in Quebec. It is true that few people use the word. I use it!

And I don’t know which other could be used !

When I was young, we used «les boueux» as a plural, but I’m afraid that it was more of a popular distortion. And I never hear it anymore.

I have never hear anyone use this word.

I have never hear anyone use this word.

Then your try would be ?

And I don’t know which other could be used !

Nikko, my mom used to say les boueux too when I was a kid.

Le terme P.C. est apparemment agent de propreté urbaine.
Pour ma part, je dis comme tout le monde : éboueur.

Ripeur est un autre synonyme que j’ai dû entendre une ou deux fois, mais que je n’emploie pas.

And the «PC» term in English (only said in jest) is «Sanitation Engineer»!

et le terme PC du «chat» est «félin domestique?». Appelons-le un chat !

«éboueur» is the right word in French, even in Quebec. It is true that few people use the word. I use it!

Actually… you may have not been in Quebec as long as I have.

What is — by far — more commonly heard (at least in Montreal) is « vidangeur ».
Also heard : « ouvrier/ingénieur sanitaire » (literal translations of «Sanitation Worker/Engineer»).

Here’s a short extract from the GDT
— Le terme vidangeur est principalement employé au Québec. En anglais, les termes garbage collector, garbageman et sanitation worker sont surtout employés en Amérique, alors que les termes dustman et refuse collector sont plutôt en usage en Grande-Bretagne.

Edit : je précise que « éboueur » — moins courant à Montréal — est quand même le terme recommandé par l’Office québécois de la langue française.

Et on croit encore que le Français de France est une langue riche !

Ici, vidangeur serait compris comme un employé vidangeant les fosses septiques, quelque chose de liquide….

Bonjour,

«éboueur» est le terme communément employé en France.

Where I live in France we

always use the term: les éboueurs

. (Some people say «les boueux» but nor often because it is a little pejorative and not respectful). Boueux meaning that these men’s clothes are dirty.

Remarquez que fitzif, qui a ouvert ce fil en 2008 et n’est pas revenu depuis, est canadien. D’où… ma suggestion plus « locale » qui vient de « vidanges ».

Pour ceux que ça intéresse vivement :

Les premiers ouvriers chargés de ce travail ont été appelés boueux, boueur ou éboueur, car ils devaient enlever la boue qui se formait sur le pavé des rues en même temps qu’ils enlevaient les ordures ménagères.

Le terme vidanges est utilisé comme synonyme de déchets ou d’ordures ménagères dans la langue courante au Canada français depuis plus d’un siècle. Même s’il est encore critiqué dans certains ouvrages correctifs, il est conforme au système du français. Dans son édition de 1762, le Dictionnaire de l’Académie française atteste l’emploi du mot au pluriel pour désigner « les immondices, les ordures qu’on ôte d’un lieu qu’on vide, ou qu’on nettoie ».
