how many times a month get the bins empty ?

[MitchellM15]

In Waverley the garbage is weekly and the greens + recycling bins are serviced fortnightly.

@MitchellM15 is fortnightly mean nightly?

[MitchellM15]

@stormspotters Every two weeks mate...

hey Mitchell. great video as always.

you hold the camera really steady, how do you follow the truck? walking, or do you drive on a bike? I ask because the garbage guys seem to be running all the time (pretty fit they are). I imagine if I would have to run after the track, not only would I gasp for air, but I couldn't handle the cam properly with all the running.

[MitchellM15]

Thanks mate.

Depends which truck I'm following... if it's a FL or a RL on commercial route, then I use my bike if it's available. Otherwise with residential or in cases where I don't have a bike... it's by running as hard and as fast as I can =] 90% of the time it's on foot though... I've suddenly become more fit than what I was a while ago! lol
