Collecting Loose Leaves in the Street With a "Claw"

Piling leaves loose in the street creates a tremendous challenge for town crews that then need to clean up the mess. None of the collection methods are very efficient, and all use big trucks and a lot of energy. This video shows how a large vehicle uses a 2000 pound "Claw" to pick up a couple pillowy piles of leaves, while three other crew members and two other trucks stand largely idle.
