Early on a Monday when I'd arrived at Carlingford, I had only travelled by foot for about a kilometre when I saw this rig swing out of a street and roar up a hill, where it disappeared into a second street. Not thinking much about seeing anything, I took a casual walk towards where this truck had gone, then turned off into a street near the one it had disappeared into. If it wasn't for the calm winds in that peaceful neighbourhood, I wouldn't have heard the nearby distant revving of a Cummins engine at 1000RPM. I can tell you I turned into an Olympic sprinter... only a matter of seconds later I spotted this truck sitting aside a long pile of bulk waste.

The operators were very cool blokes, I appreciate them letting me film this... something I would've hated to miss. If you have come across the Campbelltown Bulk-Waste video I posted, it is basically the same truck except a little newer and it's also getting pretty full. The only real contrast between the two is that these guys really tested the power of hydraulics - the forces applied are incredible! I like to refer to these two videos as a definition of "packed out"...

Big thanks to the guys for putting the show on, I hope you all enjoy this extreme action, please leave all your ratings and comments. Also the action continues straight into part 2 and be sure to check out the regular garbage and green-waste videos.

  • Ahhh, the pure joy of destruction!! What a great vid! Thanks for enlightening my day :D

    I know I sorta jumped into the middle of your vids, but I needed something new to feature on my channel. Can't go wrong with a bulk waste vid!!! I'll finish off all your others later Mitch ;) But what a reliable machine! Barely made it through that fridge, but did a lot better than some trucks probably could've!! Can't wait to go to pt.2...

  • Thanks for the words :)

    No worries about where you started, don't worry me mate... I know my vids aren't the only ones you gotta watch - no biggy if you don't get round to all of them, just won't talk to you ever again =]

  • I never seen a RL loading that type of garbage before !! We just don't have this type of collection up here, either you stuff it into your 240L and jam up my hopper >=( or you take it to the dump yourself.

    That would be such a cool job, but what a lot of wastage of things that could be recycled or reused.

    Good one again Mitch - thanks.

  • Doesn't Toowoomba provide a clean-up collection? Seems like one of the most common services available for residential collections. Maybe it's too expensive for them to handle? - reckon it might be linked with the same reasons as the skip trucks?

see all

  • Awesome video! Love the way you talk. Hope you post more.

  • that jp5 has a different blade set up because it doesnt open straight like the doyle bros one. the sweeper blade is almost at a 90 degree angle . kinda like how 158s blade looks when its open

  • They take a fridge? I'm guessing the freon has been removed? Either way, I guess metal recycling is not something we do down under? A lot of metal could have been reused but will now occupy space in a landfill.

  • it baulkuam hills council cleanaway contrated

  • LOL *soft voice* Where'd he go??

  • garbage man..best job in the world!!!!
