Toddler anxiously awaits for trash truck and visit from his friend

MONTEREY PARK, Calif. (KABC) -- It's not easy being patient, especially when you're an 18-month-old.

Every trash day, Ryan anxiously waits at the end of his driveway in Monterey Park for a visit from his friend Angel. Angel works for Athens Services, a local family-owned waste collection and recycling company.

Ryan and Angel are becoming best of friends, according to the company's post.

Athens Services posted a few videos on Instagram, showing Ryan waiting for Angel, who brought him a gift and showed him the inside of his cool trash truck.

It's a moment these two will cherish forever.
