Old Warringah Volvo SL

There were two of these trucks that acted as spares during the Veolia contract between 04 and 09 - both had MJ bodies and were mounted on Volvos. There were originally about 7 of these that took care of the garbage before Veolia took over the whole contract. In this video we see one of the old trucks collecting paper on a Wednesday morning in the dense apartment suburb of Dee Why. Hope you enjoy the action, please rate and comment.

Body Make: MacDonald Johnston

I remember this Volvo was driven by Hornsby Shire in the Veolia contract during 2002 until 2004 for the Yellow bins but they sold it for a 2nd hand Iveco Acco with the International badge.

@Accoraptor This truck has always been working in Warringah mate - since the late 1990s along with another handful of near identical side loaders. Also did you notice you've posted 9 comments? Might be better summing everything up over 1 or 2 comments lol

@MitchellM15 This Volvo has never been driven by URM only Veolia has and it had stopped been driven by the council because Veolia had lost the contract.

@Accoraptor Yeh I know mate, I work in Warringah, I was only referring to the Collex / Veolia contract about the Volvo side loader.

@MitchellM15 Is this truck a spare?

[Accoraptor]

@MitchellM15 Is it still being driven or not anymore?

[Accoraptor]

They only stopped driving this truck after 2009.

I had a Mercedes M-Class ML320 that sounded exactly like this Volvo but only uglier.

[Accoraptor]

It sounds very ugly and not as nice as an Acco
