Guysborough's Garbage is the ninth episode of the fourth season.
Plot
When Canso, the biggest supertanker of them all, is impressed that The Big Harbour is so clean, the tugs take all the credit. Guysborough, the Garbage Barge resents being left out. He decides to teach the tugs a lesson by refusing to do his job. Soon garbage starts floating in the water. The tugs are puzzled, and a bit embarrassed in front of their guest. Fundy helps them solve the problem with one of his strange sayings: 'When you float in the Harbour, remember the ocean.' Theodore figures out the riddle and realizes that they need to thank Guysborough. He takes the barge to meet the visitor. When Canso lets Guysborough know how much his work is appreciated Theodore is certain that he glimpses a smile on the face of the normally grumpy garbage barge. And that makes Theodore grin too.
