I never thought 31 pieces could be so satisfying. This is a welcome addition to my LEGO city, as it's unique. All you really get is a mini-fig, a dumpster, a trash can, and a wheelbarrow, but that's all you need! It's yet another thing that any real city would have and it can fit almost any City set by simply placing the dumpster along side it or around back. I highly recommend this set to any collector that builds their own LEGO city.

Nice little set. Reminds me of the small pocket money sets in the 1980's my Mum or Dad bought me.

I bought it today for £3.50 at The Entertainer as it goes extremely well with 2008's 7991 Refuse Truck. The mini figure in 5611 compliments the driver and truck from 7991 really really well as well as the colours all round on this item as well as the truck.

For a tiny little set, this one really hit the spot. Yes, there are recycle trucks and several sets come with trash cans, but the addition of a dumpster and the cleanup worker goes well in either the city, the suburbs or the construction scene.

My 3yo daughter built this in about 10 minutes with no problem. She was disappointed there weren't any stickers, but I wasn't. :)

There are a couple of drawbacks that lower the playability a bit. First, the handcart is open on the bottom end. The use of the L-shaped pieces to make the sides of the cart was ok, but the one on the bottom allows the trash (little grey studs) to fall out. Second, the top of the trash can pops off. This is a problem across the LEGO sets, so it's not specific to this one. As other reviewers mentioned, "real" trash would have been nice. A newspaper, fruit or fish would have been good instead of the studs.

Overall, this little set adds some great detail to an otherwise building/vehicle-centric city layout and I will likely find a few more of them.

The one thing that prevented me from buying this set for a long time was that the trolley didn't look like it would be very good at containing the little pebbles. It seemed completely pointless. However, in the instructions the trolley is actually for carrying the trash can around. This makes MUCH more sense, and makes me rather more comfortable with the set.

I wasn't sure what the orange container was for, though. Another, less portable bin for trash? In the end I've decided that it's for bottle recycling, maybe for all the bottles that come with the service station.

The objects in this set are very much open to interpretation.

A good buy, though, with probably the largest piece count for this price point, and even something that the tiny cement mixer should also have come with - a shovel!

I find this a fantastic little set. For its prce its got everything a nicely painted minifig, a trash can, very clever dumpster, a shovel as an accessory and a non-standard wheelbarrow for transporting just about anything in this set. It is a great addition to any city, as well as any other collection. There isn't a thing i dislike about this little set.

5 out of 5.
