The Return of Truck 086- MASSIVE Yard Waste Collection

[Trashman242]

Wow good for them for actually doing a decent job leaving the bins tidy...still have to agree with the other comments, it would've been appropriate to tip these guys I think. Thanks for the post though!

[mtr82952]

@Trashman242 I agree! And I would tip, but crews keep changing so I do not bother.

[Trashman242]

@mtr82952 Well sure they keep changing, but IMO these guys *still* did this large of a setout for ONE customer, at least a water or something wouldn't hurt. Who cares if its a diff crew each time, when you have a crapload out, give that crew that'll take it and not leave everything in like total mess some sort of gift. Just my opinions.

I loved the helpers reaction when that first bin fell into the truck. He didn't seem to excited to have to pull it out.

...so the cans are so big it's easy to sneak in banned items. I'm soooo gonna use that on my website. I agree. (I see it /a regular cans also, sneaking in oil containers....or thinking they go /w recycle...they don't. Auto stores take oil cans back for seperate oil recycle.

[mtr82952]

@SurreyCans Exactly, think of it like this. Someone sets a computer monitor in a trash can, when you go to dump it you will be able to feel something is heavy and does not belong. Even if you dump the can you can easily retrieve the unacceptable items from the hopper on a rear loader. With an automated side loader you will not be able to feel the weight of the items when you go to dump the toter. Then once it is in the hopper it is a pain to take out.

We have a 5 ton truck, regular cube truck, that does large item pickup for Surrey. You gotta call in to have it picked up but can have 4/year (mostly furniture and appliances, both not allowed in garbage). I hope E-waste, Comps and electronic stuffs, are one day called in the same way for FULL SERVICE pickup for our city. We got bottle depos where electronic recycling can go but it's always in garbage cans or bagged up and snuck into cans b/c lack of system for proper pickup of items.

[mtr82952]

@SurreyCans Here there are two dump trucks but I never have seen them on route. They have a couple rear load trucks assigned to bulk and route help. You can take E-waste to the MRF, some electronics shops, or to a school (on select days every three months) that is another flaw with carts (toters) people who have them sneak all kinds of crap (oil, e-waste, and yard waste) in to them.

[SurreyCans]

Garbage in Surrey BC is 2 bag/can limit /w 3rd can/bag for homes with an additional suite. My motto when rolling through Newton /w Indian 10 bedroom castles is take all cans I'm able to lift and let the drink tips flow from the housewives who enjoy the action. ;)

We do extra and get good tips for it but the official 3 can on garbage can prevent abuse. I figure everyone deserves a spring clean up so I take till the driver drives away on me :D

[mtr82952]

@SurreyCans Here people can set out two pieces of furniture each week or two white goods. They are slowly beginning to not take any E-Waste at all now, since there are free drop off places in the area. Cans can be anywhere from 10-35 gallons (but you can use carts if you want to) I have seen people set out one bag each week, or four carts of trash each week. Yard Waste is unlimited other then you are told to set out five bundles of brush per time, but most guys take more. Recycle is unlimited.

[SurreyCans]

In Surrey BC Canada we got unlimited yard waste allowed and piles like this, 1 per street or so. Long as we can lift them were throwing them in...

[mtr82952]

@SurreyCans Cool, here trash has some limits, but for the most part all the waste is umlimited here.

[RainbowDisposal]

Nice footage. If that were me I'd be stacking all your cans lol.

[mtr82952]

@RainbowDisposal Thanks. I would have done the same.

[TheTransitCamera]

Man give those guys a big tip! Good thing I'm not a YW collector on your route, those cans would be everywhere.

[mtr82952]

@TheTransitCamera Yeah, I do. The reason I do not however is the crews are never the same. If I have this much out again I will defaintly leave them a tip.

[trashratt]

can you score a job with this disposal company? even as a truck washer or yard boy????just a sumer job! At least it would be a cool job!

[mtr82952]

@trashratt You never know, I could do that, but I think I am a little bit young I’m still in High School student. I have seen some pretty young guys working there in the past however. But I already have a job cutting lawns and that takes up quite a bit of time and pays quite well.

[trashratt]

man, that is alot of yard waste! Nice video by the way! school done soon?

[mtr82952]

@trashratt Yeah this is the most I have ever set out. School will be out on June 21st which is a Monday so I will be able to film on my first day of :D

[lawnboy1010]

LOL they must dread coming to your house now. Jeez they even were counting trying to get out of collecting it

[mtr82952]

@lawnboy1010 Yeah, it has been really crazy these past few weeks; I will slowly begin to have less each week now.

[3amrepmike3]

Nice video, but dont you think your putting a little too much out? I feel bad if I put out 3 of the same color carts for an ASL lol

Oh, and whats the deal on the WM cascade off craigslist? Still plan to get that?

[mtr82952]

@3amrepmike3 Thanks. And yes I am putting out too much, this is due to a few unusual circumstances, I often compost a lot of the yard waste in my garden and my neighbors as well, however we have had weird weather so the gardens are not up yet. Yard Waste and Recycle are unlimited here as long as you follow the collection rules; another lawn guy here uses 12 SSIs each week all full of grass clippings.

As for the Cascade unfortunately I will not be getting it, I will explain why later.

[JaccobDalton]

Really enjoyed this video, awesome work MTR!

[mtr82952]

@JaccobDalton Thanks. There will be more in a few weeks.
