  • Look like bins you would find here in Australia.

  • @Binboy97 because they are the same, Ottos and Sulos and ssi Scheafer and a few plastopans (osgs in australia) In the early 90s a lot of bins were imported here.

  • Where was this footage shot? This neighborhood looks quite familiar like the Elmwood district, east of Telegraph Avenue, south of UC Berkeley. I grew up in Berkeley, lived near the Tilden Park Golf Course. I moved seven years ago to the PNW still nice to see places where I grew up.

  • @TheTheo58 you know, I have tried using google maps to find the exact streets I filmed this on, but I cant find it no matter what I tried! I cant even for sure guess the general area it was as the streets all look so similar! Glad to bring back a few memories.

  • hey if u go out there again can u get a cloceup of the tipper lables or find out who makes them.

  • Really nice truck here, green and yellow looks awesome! What's the deal with the high, low, high, low revs around 2:20... truck's computer couldn't make up its mind? haha Sweet footage!

  • @MitchellM15 haha yea its just an older pump which is pulsating for some reason lol

  • Who made the cart tipper?

  • nice love euro tippers in NM we only used euro tippers love the ottos Nice video amrepmike

  • nice work! I'll never understand the usade of automated carts with rear loaders. if you want to use rear loaders, buy carts with plastic/metal bars!

  • @rws676 these tippers can tip any cart lol. These carts were purchased before standard Amrerican carts were popular up here so they used the comb lifters in the early to mid 80 when they began service. They kept it that way till today. The funny thing is these arent auto carts, they were only designed for semi auto collection in european countries and were imported and the method was adopted in NorCal.

  • @3amrepmike3 ah ok even Weirder lol

  • that was fun to watch! gotta love those ottos! but they buying rehrigs now? and i hope u get some LONG footage next time! :D FAV

  • @garbagekid1 they buy toter evr2 now

  • Hey! You're up in my neck of the woods!What else did you get?

  • @r6man2 I got a tiny bit of Richmond Autoreaches (I was unhappy to see they got rid of there old curbtenders since Republic bought into them) some WM Oakland M/ASL and this. In the Lodi area we got Wittke and Leach Crocoldiles

  • Nice work! Sounds like a friendly crew. Better than missing the truck altogether eh? Enjoyed seeing this, it's funny how the Euro bins have caught on a little bit in the bay area...

  • @Trashman242 there EVERYWHERE! except in San Fran. though lol most of these areas went carted in the mid 80s which is why. These ottos are from 1986 and the Sulos from 1991 as are many more ottos.

  • Nice video Mike! What was up with that cart hanging on the back of the truck at the end, was it broke?

  • @Mike3141981 nah, they use that to go down tight alleys or to go ahead of the truck to dump several 30/20/13 gallon carts into it then dump it once rather than 3 little cans to save time. very efficient too

  • What chassis was this on? Lots of cool bins too awesome truck

  • @legodude24652 autocar chassi

  • Interesting find. This truck sounds like its got a sick (literally ill) pump motor. Good work. If you ever plan to cross the bay into San Francisco, I can give you ideas of some good routes to follow.

  • @ACX009 We were in San Francisco shortly after I filmed this however we didnt find any trucks working. Well we saw a mini msl collecting public trash but thats not easy to film at all so we couldnt manage. We went to the yard and thats where I saw my first Lodal in person, but not operating :( Im back in SoCal already so I wont be able to film there anyway, but thanks!

  • @3amrepmike3 No worries dude, the effort made was still well worth it. There's always next time, meanwhile I'll see if I can do something about it.

  • Awesome they have "imported"" bins!! This truck sounds awesome! Is Berkeley all manual collection?

  • @JaccobDalton yup pure semi auto and they have imported 13 gallon OTTO manual bins too

  • Great job! This is Berkeley in Northen CA right? And are you going to Oregon for footage?

  • @WMmaster626 yup NorCal. Im home already we went up north for something and snagged some footage along the way

  • Comment removed

  • Wicked video, is Berkeley Council still buying OTTO bins?

  • @tharealsteven Nah, they have had Ottos and Sulos and such in the past but are now buying US style carts from Toter since there not imported and these tippers are compatable with both comb and US style carts

  • whomakes those combo tippers?

  • Very cool, I really like the sound of this one for some reason.

  • @mtr82952 i think the pulsating auto-revv is interesting myself

  • Feels great to see more Berkeley footage again since r6's visit there 2 years ago. Great work.

    @ 2:30 NOOOOO!!!!!! =(

  • @RainbowDisposal dont worry, we were at the yard and there buying toter evr2! and they comb lift them! they have the clamp marks on the bib and very little catch bar markings. The rehrig phase was short lived :)

  • astralian carts? like the "Refuse Only" bin a 1:53 that big is huge!

  • @IWS15 these cart have been in America almost as long as they have been in Australia and European areas there just not as popular. Up here in Northern California they are EVERYWHERE. These carts in this video (that say OTTO on the front) were all made in West Germany in 1986! They also have Sulo which are not found often here in the US.

  • Amazing job! I really like these Berkeley trucks!

  • Cool vid , what collects recycling ?

  • @lawnboy1010 split body labrie msl which i was able to get a short video of also
