Canterbury Units Recycling

I was very lucky to find this truck collecting the recycling in Canterbury, as I thought I got there too late being after midday. At the time this was the last Sydney council that had Richards side loaders with teeth lifters. You will see there's nothing much to it with this lifter, though it's not as easy as it looks until you get the experience. Hope you enjoy the footage, please rate and comment, a thanks to the team.

you should get a shot of the logan city council ones - seen em around cul de sacs and units - still a coupla knobheads around that block the garbos from comin into the cul de sacs - not too many where i live though

@erikals2 Eventually I'll get up to QLD and in Logan, just wish I could now for the split trucks before they go. Plenty of idiots around making it hard for the garbos, they're far from extinct in my council... cul-de-sacs are always a classic too.

WOW!! What a great find! Always love seeing "teeth ASLs" in action as they don't exist here in the States. Love this guy's sound, and how he throttles it once he has the bin hooked on!! Just wondering, does the guy who goes around pulling in the bins work for JJ Richards or for the units? A TOTAL fav, this one!!!

Expect to see a few more of these, that's if my plans don't go wrong. Very fascinating concept to me, just a shame they're starting to change a lot to grabbers now :( Yes the runner works for JJ Richards.
