An adorable little lad who loves watching bin workers collect rubbish every fortnight was given the ultimate surprise experience.
Harry waits every other Wednesday morning for the team to arrive in their truck so he can wave at them out of his living room window in Doncaster.
After spending a year of watching from afar, he finally got to meet his heroes.
He was treated to a tour of the cab so he could get behind the wheel and try out the lights.
The Suez bin crew even bought Harry his own little hard hat, a high-vis jacket and a pair of gloves – and they of course all gave him a high five.
His mum Hannah contacted Doncaster Council to let them know about how much of a superfan her son was.
She explained that he always looks forward to the truck pulling up and seeing the workers collect the blue recycling bins.

Hannah told the BBC: ‘We often hear the lorry reversing up the lane and all the lights and things and we stand in the window and wave.
‘All the crew, they stop and tell each other that Harry is in the window and they all wave back to him, and it’s just gone from there.’
She said her son Harry was ‘really brave’ because he was a little bit scared of how loud the lorry was, but still absolutely loved the surprise.

Wayne Smales, from Suez, said the crew had spotted Harry in the window waving at them so many times while they were doing the rounds.
Mr Smales said they really wanted to do something for him after seeing how much of an interest he takes in their work.
He said: ‘Every time we collect here, he’s always at the window waving.
‘We always have a chat with him.’

Harry was lucky enough to be shown around the truck’s cab by the crew and you can tell from his face just how much he loved it.
And to top it all off, he was given a dustbin wagon toy complete with its own miniature blue bin to remind him of the special day that the crew brought him onboard.
Heartwarming stuff.
