City of Sydney Garbage (South Region) Pt 1

In this video we have one of the traditional yellow bodied Sydney trucks collecting all the red-lidded garbage bins. I came across this same truck in Rosebery on both Tuesdays, the first week to catch them on the last street and the second week to find them with heaps left to collect. After they returned from the transfer station I tailed them along the main road and through some back streets as the truck moved between each house while the two runners loaded at the back.

I believe they only have this single truck and maybe another used in the south region, where the focus is on clean-up one day and garbage the next, with an assumption green-waste is done on another day. Although I am a #1 fan of the Accos, I like the sound of this Hino during bin-lift and the second stage of packing... runs pretty quickly too for a Compaction Systems. Also they used to have the old manual bins in Sydney before I got this footage; the roll-out of new bins is what got me down here.

I hope you enjoy the footage in this video and in part two a pile of clean-up gets loaded into the back, all ratings and comments are appreciated. A big thanks to the friendly team hard at work on that hot day, with a special thanks to the driver for being helpful with the videos. Be sure to check out the video of the little Hino rear loader collecting recycling and also the footage from the northern region...

Ohh so part 2 (which I mistakenly watched first this time) was from the first week, different filming date than this video?

I liked that clip starting at 3:29, sure is a giant (tall) truck, and it was neat seeing the tipper operate from that angle at 3:42. Good stuff.

@Trashman242 Nah both parts are from week 2, I got absolutely nothing out of week 1. Is a pretty sweet angle to watch the lifter operating, I like it better with two bins on a JP5 though =]

very nice! Its a bit strange that there is so much wasted space between the cab and the body. You could fit a lot of homes in that additional space assuming it was used.

[MitchellM15]

@3amrepmike3 Yeh that's the logical idea, but you would be over the legal payload so it doesn't really matter in the end... unless of course the truck's used for something other than garbage. First time I've seen an RL with such a large gap too - just because this size body is generally destined for single axles.

The guys have to work hard eventhough it's a great truck. Pretty quiet. Thank God for garbage collectors! Garbos Rule!

Dont like how there is a gap between the chassis and the compactor.

[MitchellM15]

@trashking900 That loose material was seperate from the regular garbage collection - it was a bulk waste pile.

Great footage, enjoyed watching!

Ahh Hino looks really good on garbage trucks surprisingly. Very nice catch.

Nice job! Sure is alot of space between the cab and the body.
