Ku-Ring-Gai Green Waste

[Accoraptor]

I like this truck because it is loud like a Jumbo Jet :)

[Accoraptor]

Is Veolia going to get brand new Dennis Eagles to replaced all the Volvo FL6s?

[MitchellM15]

@Accoraptor Three of these trucks work on green-waste in Ku-Ring-Gai, none of them came from Hornsby - the Hornsby trucks are identical, but are from around 2002. URM only bought a handful of the ex-Hornsby trucks and there is just one working in Warringah, the rest are working out of other yards. The Acco and Elite 2 are both equipped with the Cummins ISL, so there is no competition in that respect... makes the trucks more environmentally friendly / cleaner.

[Accoraptor]

@MitchellM15 Kuringai uses Macdonald Johnstons for Garbage & Greens Superior Pak Raptors for Recycling. Hornsby used Macdonald Johnstons for all waste disposal bins Refuse for Reds Recycler for Yellows and Greens.

[Accoraptor]

@MitchellM15 yes I know there is only one old Hornsby truck in Warringah URM it was the one that Veolia used for recycling for Hornsby YCP-613. Its now a spare for Warringah.

[MitchellM15]

@Accoraptor YCP 613 is used on vegetation fulltime these days, it was previously used as a spare. BH 14 LT was another truck we had, but that ended up on its side one day and is now sitting at Five Dock as a spare parts inventory. You seem very well informed mate.

[Accoraptor]

How do you get American garbage bins?

[jatho4]

would these grabbers fit the other square/rectangle shaped 360Ls

[MitchellM15]

@jatho4 Depends on how big the bin is that you are talking about - if it is much bigger than this, you could still grab the bin, but you wouldn't have a firm grip.

[Accoraptor]

@MitchellM15 have you driven YCP-613?

[MitchellM15]

@Accoraptor Nah I haven't driven YCP before, not a driver either.

[Binboy97]

The bins look like bins u would find in the U.S.A.

[Sean12325]

I think the truck is allright, didn't like the banging though. This truck looks similar to the Ryde one though.

[sean1995newy]

wyong council also has some ssi schaeffer greenwaste bins but not many

[sean1995newy]

oh ok i kne the paper, garbage and bottles i was just wondering about the greens sutherland has schaeffer bins for recycling also.

[MitchellM15]

Yer I noticed that when I was over there, thought Ku-Ring-Gai was the only NSW council with Schaeffer, dunno bout the rest of Australia.

[sean1995newy]

what brand are these bins

[MitchellM15]

Garbage & Paper are Sulo2

Greens & Bottles are Schaeffer

[Trashman242]

Terrific catch with the American style greens bins! This truck tends to be louder when slamming the bins, kinda unusual in comparison to the other trucks. Thanks for the vid--*****s!

[MitchellM15]

Sometimes on the MJs the arm can get kinda 'loose' I guess you'd say, and it smashes against the hopper edge, which is what the banging is... just FYI :D

[rossrabbits]

The UK needs a bin-emptying service like this!

[Thc60]

Thanks for this vid. THE GREENS Must away

[Trashdude220]

Awesome video Mitch. I didn't know they had 96 gallon(360 liter) American bins there. Five stars and one of my favorites*****.

[Aussiegarbo13]

AWESOME FOOTAGE :D, im guessing these trucks get filled up pretty fast yeah??? ***** STAR'S and fav :)

[MitchellM15]

Oh you can bet on that... these trucks can get full under two hours! On average you'd only get about 100-130 bins on, depending on how full the bins are.

[Aussiegarbo13]

Wow under 2 hours :O! true but

[crushandburn51]

5 stars! how come the house at 1;28 had a 240l bin

[MitchellM15]

Dunno, they probably took it from a previous house they lived in?? There's only one size available in this council so must've been taken from another property.

[jamespianogarbage]

where is ku ring gai sounds like china we also have greens for yard waste our garbage cans blue black green recycle trash and yard waste in la

[MitchellM15]

Ku-Ring-Gai's in Sydney, NSW, Australia. I've seen the vids from LA, similar to here except we've got different coloured lids and ours are usually smaller. I read you'll be hoping to post some vids, let me know when they're up... would love to see 'em! :D Nice to have another enthusiast on YT.

[Aussierefuse]

Killer vid man :). The American bins seem to be the best choice for 360s.

[crushandcrushmore]

That was amazing. Nobody had to even get out of the truck =O

Yes, I am a truck newbie.

But I love dustbins =D

[MitchellM15]

So you're interested in bins are ya? That's Interesting! You going to be posting any videos?

[crushandcrushmore]

Yeap, i love bins. No I won't post any videos because I am a noob.

[smashthetrash34]

great video i mean it the best garbage truck video award goes to mitchellm15 good vid.

[chillin626]

that was some nice footage. like seeing american bins in other countries. 5 stars

[pandymoose]

nice footage mate, i never seen 360l bins for residential collection. five stars:)

[MitchellM15]

I reckon it's the only Aussie council that uses them... just because of how much is produced in the council, a lot of those private bushy properties so extra greens.

[trashmaster684]

the best man do you use a mac or pc?

[MitchellM15]

Got a PC

[r6man2]

Very nice kick arse footage
