A little boy waits anxiously every week for Monday morning, excited to see his best friend, the garbage collector.
The friendship between the boy, Lance Rufus, and sanitation worker James Jackson began about a year and a half ago when the family moved into their home, according to KTVT.
Lance runs outside every Monday morning when he hears the truck pull up.
"It's like, Lance is eating breakfast, he hears it, he stops and says, 'Garbage truck!' We have to get him out of the high chair and run to the back. I really love it," the boy's mother, Chantal Rufus, told KTVT.
Lance's bond even extended to paying homage to Jackson, dressing as him for Halloween, complete with a miniature recycling bin.
"To see a youngster that's so excited, I wondered if I would see him again," Jackson said. "It makes it sweet when you see someone who really likes what you do."
