Ku-Ring-Gai Green Waste

This was filmed on a dull, cloudy Monday morning during this truck's 3rd load. I'm very happy with how the video turned out, particularly the entrance and exit shots. I'm sure you guys will enjoy this further footage of the greens collection in KRG, all ratings and comments are greatly appreciated.

would these grabbers fit the other square/rectangle shaped 360Ls

[MitchellM15]

@jatho4 Depends on how big the bin is that you are talking about - if it is much bigger than this, you could still grab the bin, but you wouldn't have a firm grip.

@MitchellM15 have you driven YCP-613?

[MitchellM15]

@Accoraptor Nah I haven't driven YCP before, not a driver either.

[MitchellM15]

@Accoraptor YCP 613 is used on vegetation fulltime these days, it was previously used as a spare. BH 14 LT was another truck we had, but that ended up on its side one day and is now sitting at Five Dock as a spare parts inventory. You seem very well informed mate.

[Accoraptor]

@MitchellM15 yes I know there is only one old Hornsby truck in Warringah URM it was the one that Veolia used for recycling for Hornsby YCP-613. Its now a spare for Warringah.

@MitchellM15 Kuringai uses Macdonald Johnstons for Garbage & Greens Superior Pak Raptors for Recycling. Hornsby used Macdonald Johnstons for all waste disposal bins Refuse for Reds Recycler for Yellows and Greens.

I like this truck because it is loud like a Jumbo Jet :)

[Accoraptor]

Is Veolia going to get brand new Dennis Eagles to replaced all the Volvo FL6s?

[MitchellM15]

@Accoraptor Three of these trucks work on green-waste in Ku-Ring-Gai, none of them came from Hornsby - the Hornsby trucks are identical, but are from around 2002. URM only bought a handful of the ex-Hornsby trucks and there is just one working in Warringah, the rest are working out of other yards. The Acco and Elite 2 are both equipped with the Cummins ISL, so there is no competition in that respect... makes the trucks more environmentally friendly / cleaner.

How do you get American garbage bins?
