Some children dream of being a footballer, a train driver or a fireman - but two years old, Walesby Alfie has a totally different career aspiration.
The child loves nothing more than to wait for the garbage to come in front of his house in Whitburn, South Tyneside.
And not surprisingly one of his first words was "binman".
The parents of Louise Hudson and her boyfriend Bryan Walesby, both 28, first noticed his fondness for the binmen about a year ago.
Miss Hudson said: 'He spotted the wagon through the window one day, then after that he was hooked.

The parents of Louise Hudson and her boyfriend Bryan Walesby, both 28, first noticed his fondness for the binmen about a year ago.
Miss Hudson said: 'He spotted the wagon through the window one day, then after that he was hooked.
'One of his first words was 'binmen'. He loves them and can't wait until it's Thursday, collection day, and he gets the chance to see them.'
Alfie befriended workers waving from his window and front garden when it's hot enough to go out.
As the weeks passed, the binmen began to look out for the young, the older brother who is five months old, Tommy - and then gave him his own helmet and gloves.
Her mother ordered a small fluorescent yellow jacket from the Internet to complete the look, his mother strives to use anything else to complete his look.
Alfie also likes to tidy up and helps her mother out the garbage.
Louise said: "He was over the moon with hat and gloves. Made his day. Then came a jacket too, so it now looks the part.
"The only problem is I can not get out. he takes it to the shops, his grandfather, everywhere - even to bed if I let him."
Alfie always makes sure you have treats for the binmen too and sometimes gives them gifts.
Ms. Hudson said, 'If there is ever a cake, you shout' binmen cake 'and we have to keep some for the workers.
"He was two years recently, so I made sure to have a piece of birthday cake, and we have small Easter eggs for the next week.
"I think it's wonderful that while doing their work takes the time to say hello and bring small gifts - he loves it."
Ms. Hudson is now worried that she will have two kids obsessed with the binmen.
He added: 'I think Alfie's obsession is starting to rub off on his brother. You can see Tommy now showing an interest.

'I think I'll have two of them hooked soon. It's not too bad though, as Alfie is always picking up things to put in the bin and he takes Tommy's nappies out before we even get the chance.'
