Dude's MAD I Park Our Garbage Truck At Home!

[@jasontaylor9871]

I too made a comment/question about bringing your trash truck home and washing it in your driveway. I work for myself doing heating and air and do not live in an hoa neighborhood and even though I offer free service to my neighbors they often complain about my 2 vehicles 1 van that is lettered up and 1 service truck not lettered up sitting in my driveway I couldn't imagine showing up with a garbage truck and then washing all the garbage juice from it onto the ground in front of my neighbors. I'd have to move if I started a garbage business

[@michaelknaub6912]

That's the cleanest trash truck I've ever seen. It looks fine.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Thank you!

I definitely see a lotta worse looking vehicles in my neighborhood.

[@aussiegarbo752]

Speaking about the garbage smell. The term Sanitation workers in NYC actually use is "NOSE BLIND." They tell me the workers don't smell the garbage after a few months. Love the channel

[@Chicken-x6q6d]

You can still smell it, you just get used to it.

[@jasonsmith7874]

Highest volume of trash on the 1st of the month and it peaks again in the middle of the month. This is due to a lot of people getting paid on the 1st and 15th or every 2 weeks. Its been this way my whole life. My dad had a trash business while I was growing up and now I own one too. Some things never change.

[@npatony]

ive been waiting for this with too much anticipation

[@ktchpmn]

If I was your neighbor, the only thing I would be concerned about is smell/rodents/bugs. Since you clean your truck every week, it sounds like you don't have those issues so there should be nothing to complain about.

[@matt08015]

yes you are so right

[@scottpaulson1714]

So do you need to go to the dump during your single day run OR can your trash truck go to all of your customers and collect and then do a dump? Thank you and I love that you are super transparent on you and your wife opening up a new business.

[@saliston]

Your efficiency is so much higher now than in the beginning.

[@scott-og6iu]

It has nothing to do with HOA’s it has to do with Zoning. You can’t just operate any business from your home, especially if your business is within a city limit or in this case, dealing with waste. There are licenses required in most states at every level. City, county and state. If operating this business under the radar then I would think days are numbered running from a private residence. In most every city in this country it’s illegal for any business to have any type of runoff into a storm drain. That means washing your truck and having the runoff go into a storm sewer. Dealing with any state epa is not fun and can be extremely costly.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

The business isn't operated from my home. That would be if I had a restaurant in my kitchen, or a tax preparation office in my bedroom, or shelves of stuff you could buy in my living room. If the actual service occurs at other peoples homes, then it isn't based at my home (just like my lawn care business isn't based at my house, despite the fact that I clean my lawn care equipment at home). No state license required for sanitation in Florida nor in my county/city, but feel free to double check! State EPA is always a possibility but hopefully we can add a portable water reclamation unit to the process soon and fix that last issue!

[@scott-og6iu]

It’s surprising to me that you’re able to run this type of business from your home since it sounds like you said you live in the city limits. Most of the time that requires additional licensing and reviews from a Building and Zoning department. How many licenses are you required to have? City, county, and state?

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Zilch. One of the benefits to the state and area of the state I live in. Running the same business a county or two over would have worlds more red tape and fees.

[@landonkirk5444]

making some money on a truck that runs only once a week is really good. if you add enough clients to split the route into two days, you'll be making plenty

[@cherylschmalz9188]

My neighbor has a son working for the contracted trash company here. He lives a long ways away. Sometimes he gets assigned to our area. So, on his brakes or end of day, he parks on the street in front of her house to visit. The neighbor across are new to the neighborhood. The local Karen's. She has a hissyfit whenever he is here. She complained to me and I told her that he is her son visiting when he is assigned to this area. It's a public street. He won't be long. Usually an hour.

The nose comment was hilarious. I have a large Greek nose but since I’m a plumber I’m used to sewer smell and I can’t smell it anymore and other people can😂.

[@mrdavebach]

Wrapping up the lawn care season this past week I've found myself many a times covered in mulched leaves sitting upon my zero turn. I shake them off, kick them forward off the foot plate, and use a grabber to get the big clumps off the top of the deck. But one time this week while the temperatures have dropped I found myself wearing winter work gloves and reaching down to my right to remove a clump of those leaves off the discharge side of the deck. Sitting back up I thought, that was dumb. I could have gotten that glove and my hand caught up in a deck belt. I was reminded of this moment at the 17:28 point in this video. I wish you prosperity and certainly no ill will. But please for your own safety keep your hands away from 'Lil Ms Pac-Tuah's rear end.

You’re exactly right. You can’t put your business to a holt because your neighbors don’t like what they see… but I have an idea for you. Would you ever consider making the gate to the backyard larger and making a concrete or gravel pad in the back to park on?

[@rln970]

Does all the affluent stay in the hopper until is emptied at the land fill? I really enjoy your videos, particularly seeing you build your own business

Is there a way to create simple landscaping (tall evergreens) to hide the truck or can you park it inside your fence?

[@GarbageTrucksofCalifornia]

My comment! Thanks for going in depth.

[@tedgerstenslager2949]

Find a spot on the truck to locate a 5 gallon tank, run a 12v electric pump and some hoses and give the box and tail door a 5 gallon rinse out as you are tipped at the landfill. Get rid of the bulk of crap residue while it is open.

[@iamcjjohnny5881]

Weird question 😅: do you have certain stops/customers that you think you could identify them by the state of their garbage? Like is there any kind of identity or personality or trend to some of your stops that are above ordinary? Love the videos! Keep it up.

In terms of balancing on tires of that size/ truck size, there is a bag of glass beeds that gets tosssed in with the tire when mounted. After a few miles the bags are supposed to break and it "self balances".

[@garbage3227]

i see both sides of the story yes its a very clean and neat trash truck, but it is a commercial vehicle in a residential area, yes you still see big UPS and trash trucks on the streets during the day but people like to see them temporarily. i honestly have no problems with you having the truck on your drive way and I see both sides of the story on how its unfair to both sides. if you could park it behind your fence it would definite solve problems for you and others.

[@brotoubrotou3164]

When you go to the dump do you drain the juice at the same time and have less cleanup at home?

[@saliston]

I see nothing wrong with you parking it at home. It's your house and property. It has nothing to do with them

[@MarkG305]

You may not see anything wrong, but if it is actually wrong depends where you live. Almost all areas residential zoned areas have local codes that prohibit this. For example, this is one area in Florida """ City Code References Include: Section 25.750.2 Commercial Vehicles in Residential Zoning Districts. All “commercial vehicles,” including self-propelled vehicles with or without trailers, having a weight class of one (1) ton or more individually, or combined, and all commercial trailers, are prohibited from parking in any residential zoning district (street or lot) except while standing on a temporary basis for the purpose of loading or unloading, or providing other services, common to residential areas, or as may be permitted for non-residential uses under Section 25.760 of this Chapter."""

Brad unless your town or county or state have laws against you parking a commerical truck on your property then it seems legal . if you start getting visits from your town or county inspectors or someone complains 500 times a week and the town or county then have to come out look and see if said complaint is valid or not . if the truck stank then maybe it could be considered a health violation but has clean has you keep it i doubt thats the issue maybe somebody just has a bone to pick with you who knows . brad if you parked 40 yard roll off dumpsters in your yard thats different but a small trash truck it isnt an eye sore . brad on trucks they go by hours of use to determine the changes . brad truck oil changes filter changes i would recommend going to a shop the reason is because they have the pits the tools and they can dispose of the used fluids . the amount of oil in the motor alone to drain it will require very large deep pans then the hard part is disposing of the used oil . brad if you do the oil changes yourself id look in the phonebook and see if you can find a company who will come either pickup or if you store your used oil theyll come pump it for free companys like safetykleen might do it . brad unless you want to invest alot of money in tools id let a truck mechanic place do the tires because they have the sockets the large impact guns and large jacks and special machines to balance truck tires . the machines alone are at least a few grand and it takes some knowledge when balancing tires plus the lead weights used arent cheap or easy to come by . certain tasks you can handle but other tasks you really need a fully equiped garage not a home driveway or home car garage .

[@SnarkyMcsnarkles24]

You seem like an honest person and i hope you can take this as constructive and not hateful. But you sort of addressed it but i feel came to the wrong conclusion. You are in fact operating a trash business out of your house. your business mail im sure goes to your house, you store your equipment there, you clean your equipment there. You are operating out of your house. I bet it will even appear on google maps as a trash business eventually. Point im making is people dont want to live next to a trash operation. for obvious reasons.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

The business address is our residence for sure, but it isn't operated at my home. That would be if I had a restaurant in my kitchen, or a tax preparation office in my bedroom, or shelves of stuff you could buy in my living room. If the actual service occurs at other peoples homes, then it isn't based at my home (just like my lawn care business isn't based at my house, despite the fact that I clean my lawn care equipment at home).

[@CopperCreekCuts]

"Point im making is people dont want to live next to a trash operation. for obvious reasons." I'm just asking for someone, anyone to list those obvious reasons so we can address them one by one, because the only one I've heard is 'looking at the truck'.

[@microlocity]

​​@@CopperCreekCutsBut it is based at your home. How do you explain the 100 plus trash cans in your backyard that you offer to your customers for monetary payment? By using your own analogy, maybe if you put them on a shelf for sale, you might understand . Even cleaning the inside of the trash holding area of the truck is part of running the business out of your home. You might not be breaking any laws, but that doesn't make it right or a respectful neighbor. I own a remodeling business. I have trucks and equipment. I purposely bought a home that was not in a residential allotment so I had room to "hide" my business items from the eyes of my residential neighbors. When you look out your front window, you probably don't see your glowing orange truck, but I would guess at least 5 of your neighbors homes have a great view of it. It's not only the sight of the business items that could be a nuisance, the added noise could be another reason. There is noise at your house because of your business. It looks like your neighbors are pretty close. I'm sure they can hear the pressure washer running every week, as well as your truck beeping while backing up and raising the rear to clean. That's not to mention your business lawn equipment. The stink in that truck will only get worse with time. Even if you wash it every week. Just trying to help with some specifics. Keep up the videos.

[@miky-275]

Could you not have a double can lifter fitted. So you can dump the clients with 2 at the same time?? There for saving extra time in the two can stops

[@CopperCreekCuts]

I haven't done the math but the amount of 15 seconds per stop it would have to save to make up the cost and complexity of adding that that would be astronomical. The other issue is if the can is full the hopper can't really hold two cans worth of trash before needing to cycle it.
