Boy, 3, claps for bin men from the window of his family's living room

‘Kind-hearted’ three-year-old who is obsessed with bin men claps for rubbish collectors from the window of his family’s living room as they continue working during coronavirus crisis

A three-year-old boy clapped for bin men from his family’s living room window as they made their collection despite the coronavirus crisis.

His mum Sheona Emmott, 29, filmed her son Noah clapping out of their window and shouting ‘thank you’ as the bin lorry drives up their road.

The mum of two, from Nelson, Lancashire, said Noah is obsessed with their street’s bin men.

He normally goes outside to say hello and offer to help but understood he couldn’t because of lockdown.

Noah asked if he could clap from the living room window after they clapped the NHS workers.

The adorable footage shows Noah clapping and shouting ‘thank you’ as the refuse collectors walk past his window last Monday.

The workers wave at him and call out as they walk past.

Noah continues clapping as they collect the rubbish and get back in the lorry to drive away.

Noah holds up his toy bin lorry. His mum Sheona Emmot, 29, said he is obsessed with the bin men and often goes outside to say hello

He leans forward and shouts ‘thank you’ directly out of the window. He turns to his mum and says: ‘They can’t hear me.’

Sheona reassures him they can hear him as he continues clapping and thanking them.

The refuse collectors reverse up the road near Noah’s window and he briefly puts his hands over his ears while the truck beeps.
