RARE WM "Think Green!" FEL (in action) for ThaThunderStorm 8-27-09

Hey Dejuan, here's one of the many interesting trucks I saw yesterday.

This is a Waste Management Mack MR / McNeilus front loader in Orlando, FL with a unique feature. I'm not sure why this sign is on here but instead of the typical "WM Waste Management (with local phone number)" this truck has an artistic "Think Green!" sign. If anyone has any more information on this interesting sign - please tell me!

The sign has "Erin 5th grade" on it too.

All the still frames are actually high-res. pictures and if you are interested in getting a copy for yourself go to Flickr and be sure to click "all sizes" (if you have an account there) so you can see the HUGE (3200x2400) size pics. Here's the link:

I hope you all enjoy seeing this unique truck!

Thanks for watching!

haha Spotted that different sign straight away... really stands out. Must be one of those partnerships between a school and the company? The same type of thing is on the Canada Bay trucks here in Sydney... done by a school student. That can gives a loud smash when it gets rocked around a bit. Nice vid!

I was told by GatorJake12 that there was a competition in Central Florida for "Think Green" and the winning art gets displayed on the truck. Apparently there was another winner recently... maybe I can find the truck with the new art too?

Thanks, glad you liked the banging!

Sometimes I wonder if WM does that as a scam to persuade people to believe that they actually recycle when I heard that they don't!! Btw, Great Catch & 5*!!!!

Thanks for the stars!  =)

Your welcome! And that's true!

I'm a full time college student right now. BUT I do have a video of my first time operating a grapple truck... it'll be up in the coming days.

[FormerWMDriver]

Unfortunately by the time WM sells it... it'll look like a pile of parts - plus WM puts a clause in their selling contracts that says the truck cannot be used in the refuse industry in the US/Canada ever again.

do you no if its the contest is limited to florida or can anyone enter art work? i may consider it
