@hrrk619 These are 140L bins, just taller version to the newer designs. When you look at them they resemble 80L bins, but there is a significant difference in height.
awsome and macdonaldjhonstonfan has a point. at my house we have 140 letere some are the new and old and with the old on a day like today it was windy and we went for a drive and bins evereweere and the 140 l were just etheir to the side and accationally fallen over
I don't think that the tall 140L bins were a great design because they were the same height as the 240L bins, but a lot more narrow and therefore more easily blown over than the new 'fat' 140L bins. Also garbage might have been stuck in the bins when it was emptyed if it was too firmly packed, but they are entertaining to watch, but the new one's are a better design.
Great work Mitch, I have seen photos of the Campbelltown garbage trucks before, bit I never new which council they were from until now. Looks like it would be a 2005-2006 ACCO. But this is certainly a nice truck and also the arm is quite smooth. The driver looked like he had to keep the arm and grabber around the bin when he placed it down do stop it from falling over before he fully retracted it.
Is that a new layout picture of the new truck body? Because I saw recycling truck is yellow and now garbage truck is red, but green waste is same, old truck and some rear loader also is old truck.
P.S.: Did Campbelltown have front loader (FL) truck?
Yep, BFI used to do the collections. Also as you might know, SITA bought BFI out a while ago, so therefore SITA aquired the Campbelltown contract straight from BFI how ever long ago that was...
Mmm... couldn't say that I do, didn't exactly grow up down there to know. Though I saw a pic of a BFI SL in a book a while ago, it was an MJ, so that's what they may've used... ?
Seems like this driver was just taking it easy that day, no rush ey? :) Probably had some good weight on the truck being about 8:30am, but even still, could've gone faster if he had a heavy load...
are you sure that they are 140L garbage bins because I think they are 80L garbage bins.

you would think it would be a bit confusing with all the bins the same height, except the newer ones.
