I dispute the assertion that the rubbish collector is called "garbo" from his street cry; rather the reverse: it's just another case of diminutives in Australian English — a garbage collector is a garbo, pure and simple. If he calls out "garbo" to alert the tardy householder who hasn't put out his bin, it's like the postman calling out "postie" or the milkman "milko". Doug butler ( talk) 10:27, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
