Finally got put on the Smelly Food Waste Bins! Back on the Bins.

After managing to avoid the food waste for months ,my luck finally ran out! A video of the Monday run around Troon, Dundonald and Loans in Ayrshire.#garbagecollector #trash #refusecollection #trashtrucks #daf #izuzu #food #foodwaste

Nice video! I love food waste

[@FinBinMan]

Great video mate! I enjoyed watching and I'm sure you enjoyed driving haha. I wouldn't mind giving food a go as you usually have an early finish and I quite like the trucks, not overly keen on the bins tho 😂

[@billythebintruckdriver3952]

Cheers pal,ye as I've said it's my least favourite job but it's easy enough work and our wee Isuzu trucks have a great turning circle so you can put them pretty much anywhere, although it does get a bit smelly 🤢

[@FinBinMan]

@@billythebintruckdriver3952 Haha yeah I can imagine, we've always had DAF LFs for our food lorries, only isuzu we had was a hire that we bough temporarily, believe it might've been ex South Ayrshire actually, reg was SF63 THU. Do you prefere the DAFs or Isuzus out of curiosity?

[@billythebintruckdriver3952]

@@FinBinMan That's registration does sound familiar 🤔. I prefer the Daf over the Isuzu, our daf food waste trucks are bigger than the Isuzu so that helps a bit. Both have pretty reliable in service tbh

[@FinBinMan]

@@billythebintruckdriver3952 Ah yeah fair doos, our Dafs are 12t so you can get a bit more on them than Isuzus. It would make sense if it was from yous as it has the same colour combo too couple of videos of it on my channel if you want to take a closer look👍

[@NZRubbishTrucks]

Great video! How often do you think you will be put on the food waste truck? Do you find the compactor does much work on packing the waste? Keep up the great work.

[@billythebintruckdriver3952]

It varies to be honest,that's my first spell on food waste for over 6 months lol, but I'm usually on it quite regularly. The compactor on our Isuzu is pretty rubbish tbh but the ones that are on our 12 ton dafs are a lot better at compacting the waste.

[@monkeymandee5030]

Why do you have a separate food and garden waste in my council we just throw everything in a single brown bin

[@billythebintruckdriver3952]

Ye I've heard of other councils doing it that way,I wish we did as well but South Ayrshire want to keep it separate for whatever reason

[@FinBinMan]

Think it's something to do with the quality of the compost the separated streams produce or something like that, as well as the method of composting

[@beyondnow1600]

Our council does that as well. Green and food waste goes into 140 and 240 bins.

[@FinBinMan]

@@beyondnow1600 Is that MK council?

[@joe18425]

You seem to do ok in the south, north, meh...😮😂

[@HughzieTube]

That seems very labour intensive having to mess around with bags on the communal bins. What do they do with the collected waste? Got lots of plastic in there to separate?

[@billythebintruckdriver3952]

It is, I prefer the method that some other council employ where they put the food waste in with the garden waste,but unfortunately we don't do that. The waste goes up to a company in Cumberland where it's turned into energy and cattle feed I think 🤔

[@refusevehiclesne]

Nice one, can you not take the boxes off the lifts and put the bin on instead rather than having to tip it by hand or are they fixed on?

[@billythebintruckdriver3952]

Yes the boxes do come off lol ,but we just tip the bin in,unless it's really heavy then we will take a box off to empty it

[@beyondnow1600]

Great vid m8. Just curious do you have task and finnish ?

[@billythebintruckdriver3952]

Job and finish? No unfortunately that stopped before I joined the council. Would be great if it came back lol but there is no chance of that

[@samlay6049]

slowly but shirley

[@Oli_Guy]

Why are there food bins in boxes? Just looked a bit odd

[@billythebintruckdriver3952]

They areas do not get the small grey food caddies ,They have to use communal food bins that are left there all the time,that's why they are in the metal bin's, keeps down any smell and stops them getting blown about when it's windy
