That is probably the word Henry has used most of his life as he is from America, and since when have they been called Binmen in Tenerife.

Google is your friend, and I love this pity they still can't do it. Scaffies---A Refuse Collector.
In Scotland (esp Fife and Lothians); a roadsweeper or a person who would push a two-dustbin barrow and use a broom and shovel to clear rubbish and *****e off the thoroughfares.

Scaffies also used to rule their patch with a firm hands on misbehaving youths. Now the Community Police have assumed full responsibility for what was the scaffy's unofficial job - kicking litter louts' arses.
