A slide of my old Terberg truck

5 pics from Ringertoften in Copenhagen NV. For some reason the container should always be the biggest possible, and in the far, far away corner as well.
One day they overloaded the rear end of the container just a brick too much. Not that this 16.5 tonne truck had an overload, but their asphalt couldn't carry it since the area was undermined, probably due to a broken drain.

Our wastes have been split into (black bin) garbage, recycles again split into (small green bin) kitchen waste, (large green bin) garden waste & blue bin (glass, plastics, papers, cardboard). Is it the same in your country? Thanks for sharing.

In Copenhagen, household waste and (news)paper is separated. Bottles are collected in public containers. Chemicals are picked up when needed. I believe the newspaper trucks carry a custom built "toolbox" under the body for batteries that are usually put in a small box on the wall.

Bulky waste is picked up from pavement by rearloader or put in a container if over 4 m3 of waste. Garden/greens is in container. Each house has one free bulky + one free green a year, pay for the rest.

Thanks, it was a h*** of a mess getting the janitor to understand that it was his insurance that had to pay, since he pointed out the place and signed the paper saying it was his responsibility...

Most trucks I've seen in HK are Hino, Isuzu and Mitsubishi. I'm a bit surprised I've not seen any Dong Feng (chinese), it would have been the closest choise.

I also see all european brands except for Renault, but I didn't recognize any american brands. They still have Seddon Atkinson trucks (british) out there, I've never seen them anywhere else, not even in London!

All the taxis I've seen are Toyota Crown, many driving on LPG.

I was touring in Hong Kong 35 years ago & saw all their taxis were MERCEDES BENZ & all their trucks & buses were ENGLISH MADE. I visited Hong Kong 5 years ago. All their taxis were JAPANESE and all their buses were VOLVO. Their trucks were INTERNATIONAL BRANDS.

AT LEAST THEY PAID THATS GOOD

I don't know if it's been shredded yet, but it has not had plates on since 2004 I think, and parts have been taken to keep the two others rolling. The last died summer 2006.
