The Sheeny Man
We've got lots of Baby Boomers here, do any of you remember the Sheeny Man...or maybe they were called something else in your area? In my area it was a man with a horse and wagon who would collect scrap from homes.
I was reading this post from a FB group of my old neighborhood and started remembering the vendors who did home deliveries too:

I don't really remember a milk man, but I do have memories of my mom buying fresh fruit and veggies from a fruit peddler that regularly came by and one of my fondest memories was of the Sanders truck that delivered cakes and other sweets. :)

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
My Grandma called them "sheenies".
As in, "if you leave it outside, the sheenies will take it".

Down here in the Atlanta area we had the 'goat man'. He had a wagon pulled by goats. Don't remember the sheeny man. But I never saw the goat man either. :)

I don't remember anyone like that but we lived in a new suburban area. We had a Borden's milk man who delivered our milk. As late as the early 90's our elderly aunt still had her milk delivered.
I remember an old man who walked the parking area of a small shopping center. He picked up cigarette butts. I guess he smoked them. We called him the cigarette man.
