VIDEO – This May Melt Your Heart, Binman Gives New Toy Truck To Autistic Boy On His Route

This has restored our faith in mankind today.

Everyone is inclined to give out about their fellow human beings from time to time and occasionally we do need our faith in mankind restored. This video will certainly do that.

The young boy in question, Daniel, is autistic and has become particularly fascinated with garbage trucks after his Mom showed him a video of one, according to the Metro.

Now, Daniel waits eagerly for the truck to come along every Monday and puts the bins out with his Dad on Sunday in eager anticipation of the next day.

Daniel’s mom took to Facebook to post this video of a sweet moment when Manuel, Daniel’s favourite truck driver, bought him a new truck of his own.

‘Our recycle man, known only to us as Manuel, is his favourite.

‘He always has a big smile for Daniel, who is faithfully waiting for him every Monday. To him, trash pickup is like a symphony.”

If you get through this without smiling or shedding a tear, you have a heart of stone. Just look at the expression on that child’s face!
