Garbage man Jeff Okeson surprised children at a Utah day care recently with small, wooden toy trucks for them to keep. Every week, the children greet Okeson with cookies and soda, and in the past, he has stopped and let the children check out the truck, according to a KUTV report.

Okeson got the toy trucks through the Happy Factory, a nonprofit group that works to provide toys to children.
