She accepted and they left Weatherfield together . Biography . Trevor had recently split up with his girlfriend Michaela when on 28th January 2010 , while doing his rounds in Weatherfield , he refused to empty Janice Battersby ' s wheelie bin as the lid wasn ' t down . Janice was annoyed but became smitten with Trevor when he responded to her advertisement for a lodger at her flat in Victoria Street . Trevor enjoyed living with Janice but didn ' t realise that she was attracted to him . When he took in two stray cats , Janice put up with them despite being allergic , so as not have to have to tell Trevor to get rid of them . On 22nd February , Trevor mistook Janice ' s boss Carla Connor as factory Underworld ' s cleaner and later invited her out for a drink . The misunderstanding was cleared up prior to the date and Trevor thought Carla would be above dating a binman but to his surprise she kept the date and they began a relationship . In May , Trevor secured a load of World Cup tickets for himself and some friends but was left in a crisis when his friends all backed out of the deal . To get his money back , he sold the tickets to Ashley Peacock , Peter Barlow , Steve McDonald and Tyrone Dobbs , who planned to go to South Africa together and not tell their wives right away so they wouldn ' t get a hard time in the weeks before the competition . Some weeks later , in light of Carla ' s husband Tony Gordon ' s siege of the factory and Carla being held at gunpoint , Trevor decided to cancel the trip but when the other men all opted out , Trevor turned it into a holiday for himself and Carla . In July , Carla recruited Trevor as trainee manager at Underworld . Trevor resigned from his job on the bins to take the job but quickly realised he had made a mistake as factory co - shareholder Nick Tilsley constantly chided him on his lack of computer skills and he was embarrassed when Carla had to work overtime to complete his work . Trevor and Nick ' s differences came to a head in a row which ended with Trevor punching Nick when Nick called Trevor thick . Carla prevented Nick from sacking Trevor but Trevor had lost his enthusiasm for the job and quit . Having come to realise that Carla still wasn ' t over her ex - love Liam Connor , Trevor decided that he couldn ' t live in the shadow of a dead man and told Carla he was calling a day on their relationship . After some soul searching with Lloyd Mullaney at the Rovers , Trevor decided to leave Weatherfield and go to Swansea to get in touch with Michaela . But when things didn ' t work out , he returned to the area again a few months later and got a job again as a binman . He crossed paths with Janice in the cafe and they caught up with the goings on and he was shocked when he found out she had been robbed previously . He later packed in his job when he got fed up with working as a binman , and decided to travel the world . He asked Janice to come along , and she accepted . They packed up the car , and Janice asked him to give her friends something to remember them by , and he sped through a puddle splashing them , and they later drove off together and left Coronation Street .
