[firewacker432]

[Binboy97]

Is that a lifter on the side? If it is a lifter can u get a vid of them using the lifter to lift a bin?

[MitchellM15]

@Binboy97 Yes that is a lifter on the side, but the guys never use it. I won't be returning to Botany Bay, already videoed another of these trucks in Woollahra and that's the last of where they are used as far as I know.

[shadofax96]

Just wanted to jump in her and say Mitch, watching trashmen in your country is just crazy. Should be an Olympic sport. The guys in this video have some serious talent.

[RecoveryTTA]

Excellent Video, why cant all citys be like this. You guys make it looke organized and well maintained with seperation. I am not sure if the residents are provided those recycling bins. If thats the case, every city should organize the same proceedures. Were would we be if we were all uniformed as your city program is.

[garagecrap]

They only worked so hard coz they knew they were on camera.

[mijnschat]

in elburg the netherlands we do it already 20 years of collection of glass en paper

more than 80% get recyceld

[michaeldebruin18]

[Danny19921125]

why no compactor? lame.

[TimberWolf212]

Whew! That's something else! Good job with shooting the footage!

[Trashman242]

Wow, now this is awesome!! Definite favorite + feature! Didn't realize they sorted it on the spot until seeing the video and descr.! Looks like there's also a tipper on the side there--would love to see that in action. Can't wait to see part 2!!!

[MitchellM15]

Yer I was hoping they would use the tipper for those bins towards the end, but obviously didn't - I bet it's because it's a slow piece of shit. When I'm in Woollahra I'll see if the guys can operate it (if there's a lifter on their truck).

[Trashman242]

Yeah, I don't blame them (look like lots of places w/ semi-auto collection have their drivers just empty lighter bins by hand for the exact reason you stated, not just there though). Maybe you could ask them to use it for one/two bins just for the camera ;)

[smashthetrash34]

nice cam clear video i wish they had this truck in qld is it just the bottels or is the truck quit ?

[robinsonm08]

this is one way to take your anger out but at the same time enjoying it

[Aussiegarbo13]

Awesome! wow never seen a truck like this before XD so do these trucks have anykind of packer? Does VES have all Botany Bay's collections?, and if so what trucks do they use? Fantasic Work( Y )

[MitchellM15]

Nope no kinda packer, only things that comes close is smashing the glass :) VES only does the paper and bottles; you know what the bottle truck is and I'm not totally sure about the paper truck - but it's an RL, I'm sure I'll find out when I'm in Woollahra. The council does the garbage and greens; I only saw the garbage truck that morning, but it looks like it's JP5s for everything - also could swear I saw a brand new one!

[Aussiegarbo13]

ahhhhk awesome XD

[chillin626]

the driver drives off even before the crew is done lol. great video 5 stars

[supeirorpakraptorfan]

awsome ***** stars and like wat i said on part 2 great momories

[r6man2]

That is the weirdest trash collection I have ever seen. Nice truck!

[tharealsteven]

I bet those blokes are totally stuffed as soon as work is over.. Do you know if this council ever intend to replace the crates with bins?.. Anyway, nice vid as usual bro

[MitchellM15]

Yer I bet they are as well, bloody hard work - but they said the fun part is smashing the glass lol

One of them told me they'll probably be changing the service soon somehow, dunno if it's going to be with MGBs or just mixing all the bottles instead of sorting... coz you know, this can be a pretty dangerous system. I'm sure eventually all the councils will start with bins, I reckon down there they'd just need a weekly 140L co-mingle. Thanks for the words.

[parramattagarbo]

yer it a shity concil with no 240s or 140s i know black town is behind with the green waste bin penrith is getting a new system this year but i did notice a few one 140s in the vid

[MitchellM15]

Oh Botany's got 240L's for the garbage, but I reckon they should get new bins. I don't think Blacktown's going to be getting a greens bin, because it all goes to the Eastern Creek UR-3R facility - do you know otherwise?

[jzn168]

Rockdale council's got new 240L's garbage bins and they also go to the Eastern Creek UR-3R and i think they have new trucks too

[parramattagarbo]

i just cant wait for penrith new service plus i have a new first gear vid

[staintedcards]

he's not even tossing the bins back too the right homes LOL

[FormerWMDriver]

I've never seen recycle picked up like that, very impressive! Thanks for posting this! 5*

[heiltruckfan]

here we have a rear loader w/ 2 guys and a driver. they're probably faster than these guys cuz they dont have to sort everything. the just empty the bin and fling it back to the curb

[michaeldebruin18]

what a team and fast workers greest from michael.holland
