After catching the train across to Minto into the recycling area, I followed the sound of clattering glass to this big, clean and shiny recycling truck. Gotta love that scream the engine lets off after dumping the first bin in the video =] I also noticed that this driver shakes the bins by using the reach function as well as the usual up/down motion - bet nothing gets stuck!

  • One thing is why does the claw when it emtys goes in and out, never seen that before, only on old trucks

  • That's just one method of shaking the bin, not a very common way though.

  • i like bins

  • @MitchellM15 They did use to do that on a fair few of the previous models, the Mk4's and Mk3's, especially in Wyong. Every Wyong/SMSdriver would shake the bin by sliding the arm in and out. Didn't matter if it was a Mk3 DART or Mk3 Refuse for the greens, it was very effective though.

  • Yep from what I remember of that picture about 3 1/2 years ago, was the same paint scheme.

  • That's neat, never knew they operated in Oz...what did the trucks look like? Same scheme as in U.S./Canada?

  • SITA bought BFI a while ago, just continued using their bins I guess.

  • Ahh, another driver who slides the arm to empty, neat catch there :)

  • Yeah I thought I saw a couple with BFI on them! So is it the same company or related to the BFI here or totally different?

  • gee that truck moves side to side a bit
