Garbage Trucks Part I

Various garbage trucks from the Naples, FL area.

[@JefftheM]

I used to watch this when I was so young, this brings me back in time.

[@davfergus]

My son is 2 and loves it. Requests it almost every day. Thank you.

[@macielo]

a few years ago, before the YT Era, if someone would have told me that i would one day be watching a video of garbage trucks ... i would say "get out´a here" but ... i am watching it.. lol.

[@Heyyduduheads]

I’m about to turn 17. This video came out around 6 months before by 2nd birthday and it’s always in joy able to this day. The footage could be in 4K, but would be any cooler. You started the land of filming garbage trucks. U got me into it and I still love it..15.5 years later.

[@SuperOptimus217]

This used to be my go to video for whenever I wanted to watch garbage trucks. This video is a classic.

[@djclassicz254]

[@Eddie913913]

I only have 3 questions: Why am I watching this? Why would someone make this video? and Why did I watch the whole thing?

[@PD-Pro-Go]

You and me both brother.

[@floridatrashtrucks]

Because it's entertaining

[@DMAXRYNO]

@anoniem1725 In my area, Black is for garbage, blue is for recyclables, and green is for yard waste (lawn clippings and such)

[@juliaruiz474]

Me to

[@WasteManNic]

I live in the area that’s on film now

[@georgewuzheer]

Most places still use the old way, I'll post a few videos of them. Sometimes, automated collection is cheaper than manual collection, but each situation is different, and some areas simply can't be automated.

[@WMmaster626]

It's so cool to see how much your work has improved and changed since this video. Still classic and nostalgic to watch :) Sure wouldn't mind seeing some footage of these trucks again, even though I know that Heil is no longer around. The Curotto is so cool. I love how the driver grips those Cascades by the sides. Are there still lots of those carts out in Collier County? Wouldn't mind seeing some up close pics of those carts in possible :) Do any of the McNellies have non-happy fact signboards or are those long gone? Those trucks are some of my favorites these days even though Florida seems to be FILLED with them (I prefer the older Heils as far as looks and all that used to roam Venice, Pompano, and other regions. I think Naples had an old ribbed Heil if I remember correctly?). 4:44 was always cool to see, it always seems like the Curotto hit the ground. I'm sure you know I wouldn't mind seeing some new WM footage from you, certainly has been a while. Though I know whatever you post is gonna be good :) Great video George!

[@georgewuzheer]

Don't want to give away too much but there's more WM footage to come, in more ways than one. Cascades still dominate. New carts being given out are Cascades and Toters, especially the 48 gallon EVR IIs instead of the Cascade 32s. It's been a few months since I've seen a non-happy fact Curotto, and in the mean time trucks have been getting repainted or replaced. We had the older ribbed Half/Packs as commercial trucks. Glad you still enjoyed the vid still and that it holds up after all this time.

[@MrEpic-qe2tt]

+Jacob Sanchez Yeah, I get a Heil Rapid rail, and sometimes a python coming to my house.

[@DanielWDonuts]

Jacob Sanchez he's saying the Heil 7000 (1st truck) is not around anymore. Not the whole company, they're still around

[@davidherd503]

WMmaster626 566Y

[@WasteManNic]

@@DanielWDonuts that truck in this video has been scrapped for a while but the other 7k from the other compilation was scraped a little more than 5 months ago.

[@HurricaneHunter03]

I remember watching this Years ago... gives me Memories..

[@consolidateddisposal]

Love the sound of the macks brakes!! iful... 5*

[@kimchiman1000]

Love that ASL frontloader deal! Never seen one before. I assume the ASL/bin attachment is pinned onto the forks? I'd hate to lose it off the front and rip the hyd hoses out.

[@adrienneloveskeegan]

I just sat here and watched this with my 18 month old, he loved it!!! Thanks for the video!

[@generationfire6389]

when I was 5 years old I was having a phase threw those trucks and I wanted to be a garbage man one day and I said fuck it I'm being a basketball player instead. anyone get it?

[@jovanholland36]

Nostalgia at its finest

[@Swamprc]

at 3:30 the guy on the bike nearly matched the garbage truck... Production value?

[@georgewuzheer]

We have a lot of these front loaders with Curroto Cans around here. Depending on the route, these guys usually do 1, sometimes 2 loads a day, the second one probably half full or less. These FL's are smaller just for residential collection, so they carry about as much as a regular ASL. What kind of trucks do you guys run in norcal?

[@rgvsanitation5407]

I remember watching this when I was 3! Still a great video to this day! I really enjoyed the 7000, Damn I tell you, Volvo's with early Durapak bodies just made the combo even better! Reminds me when I trucks like these in my yard, but in BFI! Amazing video!

[@TacoMan8102]

me too lol

[@jeffriemendez4304]

Dang, haven't seen this video since I was 6

[@djclassicz254]

same Ive haven't seen this video since I was 6 as well

[@grootmankid206]

Same as me too!

[@AJDeere]

I remember this exact video since being a kid

[@alltrashnotrailer]

@rsmoore777 My 19 month old loves this video. He's watched it at least 6 times this morning.

[@trashman243]

Man one of the first videos i watched when i found KZbin back in 2007 as well. Before i discovered 242... still love this video!

[@UnoriginalUsername23]

I love to watch the truck feed the monsters inside of it.

[@redkimmy2001]

The toddlers I watch insist on watching these videos every time I bring my computer to work! They are MESMERIZED by them.

[@amazgaming-c5o]

I never seen a garbage truck video this old this is so cool

[@gamingmatthew175]

You to lazy wm., only the people in my hood is like fast not super slow.

[@CTG275]

Man Time Rlly Flys Fr, Last Time I Watched This Was 2014 Now I’m Almost 14 Speaking From 2022, Love This!

[@MadiDaddyCO]

Dude.. I was just talking about how garbage trucks work with a friend and you're video did the job perfectly. Holy crap it's so simple but exactly what we needed.

[@kellyincali13]

This video is excellent for the non-garbage truck days at my house. My sons are OBSESSED with the "trash truck". Thank you!

[@georgewuzheer]

I agree, the Curotto Can is much worse than a conventional automated side loader. The FL is messy and takes up alot of space. I don't like any McNeilus truck. Unfortunatly, we have loads of them here.

[@georgewuzheer]

Continued... And when actually dumping, because the trash is piled high in the low sided Curotto Can. They make a terrible mess, and in no way could they ever be used to collect recyclables. They need high clearance to dump the Curotto, often a problem in some areas. Pluses are the simple design, but then again, many ASLs are simple too. Its a truck that works for a small company that needs a cheap, multi purpose truck, but WM should be ashamed they are running these.

[@georgewuzheer]

No way, any ASL can be sped up to match the speed of these Curottos. You have to dump the bucket every few stops, and dump it slowly to avoid damaging the Curotto Can, and most importantly, Its very messy, and would never work in many parts of the world. There's alot of spillage when the cart is dumped, especially since most drivers try to pile as much trash as possible before dumping the Curotto, when driving, as the wind blows trash off,

[@georgewuzheer]

Those are called pusher or tag axles, depending on if they are in front of or behind the axle always on the ground, the drive axle. They are lowered to the ground when the truck gets heavier. The more axles on the ground, the better the distribution of the truck's weight on the road, and the more weight it is allowed to carry. The axles are then lifted up when the truck is unloaded, and weighs less, to save wear and tear on the tires and other components.

[@westcentralsanitationguy12]

Why did the autocar 7000 at the beginning have a black door and why did some of the cans have black lids

[@georgewuzheer]

Count yourself lucky, all this automation gets boring fast.

[@evelynhamiltonusa2523]

Wow hi-tech love your video..

[@Memphis4854]

Wish WM would have a day they take the little ones for a ride around their parking lot. The Children would love it. Both my kids and all 6 grandkids have been in the trucks with my husband and they thought they were big shots moving the levers and such. The two kids rode with daddy for full shifts when he had the airport route. And the neat things the drivers find, and the negative they find too. Bodies, animals, etc. WM has a truck for kids they sell. We have one here.

[@jamda2222]

@morrellirocks yup my kid could sit and watch this all day- They have this book that we get from the library called 'I Stink' about a garbage truck. We have checked it out so many times that we finally bought it for our sons' birthday. For any one who's child likes garbage trucks as much as mine, I definitley recommend it. :)

[@jcdebbs]

Wow thats pretty impressive, so those 21,000 lbs you would load on your truck were aside from the trucks weight itslef right? I work in roofing and when we do the tear off we also load it by hand. at times we load the truck up to 11 tons or more, so i know what a beating it is! you have somew nice video uplads. Do you still work?

[@Curt8153]

I did it back in the 80's and there wasn't any automated trucks around here back then. My easy day was 700 homes dude. You don't know what a hard day is untill you load over 78,000 pounds by hand in one day. I used to pack out my truck at 21,000 pound a load in about 3 1/2 hours. These days they all have it easy, they don't have to take yard waste anymore.

[@FSXNOOB]

Lazy job when the machine is doeing all the work :d

[@myfeeling4you]

So you fill up the bucket in front then empty it, I like the idea but it wouldn't work here in Australia as the authorities are hell bent in making roads narrower, it;s already hard enough doing the job already. I find people look down on us but without us they'd be living in their own crap.

[@kolbpilot]

My life is complete now that I've seen a garbage truck video. But having said that, I thought about our local 21st century equipment. We have something very similar to the first truck here in Hampton, Va (now I'll have to see what make it its). That second beast is a piece of work.

[@chazabug]

aussie trucks are better

[@georgewuzheer]

Charmaine French It depends on what specific trucks you compare. But yeah Aussies have some cool stuff. Especially love the front loaders. And the Acco.

[@sacredf8]

Charmaine French :(

[@jasasaur]

lol these comments are so funny. I don't know why someone would make this video, but thank you! My son is obsessed with garbage trucks, and there's probably not a day that goes by that this video isn't playing on my laptop or phone..

[@tourjoursv]

@AlexTheLion1996 Ooops, well you clicked on it dint ya? Th@s the great thing about these vids, we have a CHOICE. Thx george for posting this informative --- yes, informative video. I'll never look at a garbage truck in the same light again. ***smile***

[@GmanMusicProductions]

Those trucks with the frontend loader box are a joke. Poor idea, they wouldn't work in our area with over head power wires and tight streets. Plus on a windy day all that trash blows out on the street when going to empty the the bin.

[@georgewuzheer]

This guy is pretty fast, he finishes his route at around 2pm, while others finish similar routes 3 or 4 hours later.

[@AdeelKhan1]

Meanwhile in Canada: Up untill 2011, one guy would haul the trash and another guy would drive the truck. In 2012. The driver hauls the trash inside as well. Surprisingly enough it's the same company (Waste Management).

[@bdmcneilusmsl]

They probly won't give me a new one. I would want one that is bairly broken. I really want a 95gal Rherig, Roto, and 32gal toter. Do you think they could give me a broken one of just one of those or all of those?

[@TheZwerfer14]

In the Netherlands we are cautious. the valves are closed and we demolish anything. at 2:00 you see the garbage that is broken. and it does not safely. That's why I choose for the Netherlands because they are more cautious

[@SuperYouYou09]

To those people who found this video to watch and then asked "what's the point?!" I believe almost all the hits come from the parents who have a toddler. So, if you don't have one, don't spend time watch it, :).

[@jcdebbs]

HaHaHa!!! my 2 and a half year old son just finished watching these video! He aswell is fascinated with these garbage trucks! its reall y funny he refers to them as "gabi truck" because he cant pronounce garbage correctly!

[@tatomuck18]

for an hour of work...............? How many packs of cigarettes could that buy? How much food could that buy? How much booze could you buy? Todays minimum wage is worthless compared to the prices.

[@marsjake8]

Deep in our 3 million some hearts we all have the desire and dream to be a professional Garbage Man. Baseball, football, basketball who needs them, when you can be a Garbage Man!

[@YungTrapz530]

my son is absolutely amazed by garbage trucks and he is the reason im watching this lol i never knew they would have such odd video made but my son liked it so thats what counts

People that don't get entertainment in this video, obviously don't have a toddler on their lap. My son watched both parts without even blinking. He loves garbage trucks, as many kids do.

[@oldpreach]

I HATE the trucks with the really large arm that comes flying down and up like something out of a sci fi movie. I can think of 3 reasons just off the top of my head for this. Ugh.

[@willDANCEforPENNIES]

is it just me, or does it seem like garbage trucks get ran harder than all other diesel trucks? it seems like they're a lot louder and are always getting revved higher

[@tourjoursv]

@Sabeen1987 You are sooo funny : ) I've ALWAYS wanted to make cookies or at least give them a soda or something. But your mom has actually DONE it. Way to go Mom!!!!

[@xshietTAY]

This has alot of views because of kids probally. Alot of parents play this for their kids. My nephew is obsessed with 'trash trucks ' and is addicted to watching this .

[@brinlo]

My kid *loves* this video and everything about garbage trucks. Thanks Georgewuzhere! I made a perfect garbage can t-shirt for him on cafe press, search for 'garbage kids'.

[@ScarletandGrey4ever]

Check this out George! My hometown newish Waste collection trucks Heil Multi-Pack. Go to my channel score down to where you see Beachwood Service Dept. Truck 30

[@Karjis]

Those devices looks handy! But from what museum is those trucks from? Amazinly loud and bouncing movements with waay too much black smoke for urban area.

[@mani7901singh]

1 driver doing all those chores before it was 2 men in the back that use to pick up the canisters and dump them in the back, that's 2 less jobs in the economy!!!!!

[@maiden944]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, i am almost fell on the floor laughing at this, its just soo like random hahahaha, "Garbage trucks" lololool

[@devildog6a]

My dog always barks when the garbage truck comes around, so I wanted to see if the sound from a youtube video would make her go into barking mode. Nope.

[@truckdriver402]

Driving a roll-off truck was a blast. Stupid-ass Waste Industries purchased Patriot Waste in 2003. It was after we took all their business though!

[@TimeGod12]

Its good how advanced there trucks are. Now even women can take over these formerly mens job and just sit in the truck and collect garbage.

[@Dionicman]

we have WASTE MANAGEMENT in Seattle, Rabanco and now GREEN SCAPES is the newest one in the city... but no robotic arms/claws that i have seen!

[@georgewuzheer]

wtf why arn't you filming garbage trucks?

[@bdmcneilusmsl]

I want to take a tour of the yard a WM and Clean Scapes. I wonder if they would give me a broken can? I really want one!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@drunkodamayo]

little boys LOVE garbage trucks!! They're big, noisy/loud, dirty, have moving parts, c'mon what else could a little boy want?!?!?!?

[@tourjoursv]

@DDaniel20067 I wondered the same thing too. How DID I get here??? But then I started smiling --- and I'm a woman. tee hee

[@tatomuck18]

thats one more job eliminated. People used to work by standing on the backs of these trucks and picking the trash up themselves.

[@jaredbrown3249]

I like the front and loader with the big can I like how it dump it on the top of the truck

[@brad202684]

I grew up watching the Heil Formula 7000 and this operator in the video is just in a hurry to get things done! lol

[@0ceangypsy]

My 3 year old loves this video...I will never understand why but im sure we have watched it atleast 500 times haha

[@KF6LIL]

Yes dissapointed after look what has taken over 4 man job which is these auto loaders for trash curbside pickup.

[@bdmcneilusmsl]

@Dionicman Well, acctualy there are McNeilus M/A's. AND there is republic services. I also live near seattle!

[@wereldmen]

2:21 is a cool garbage truck xd and the trucks before that one dont be softly to the garbage container xd

[@chrscvaldes1]

I think its cool cuase of how its just basically all machine doing that, pretty cool how much we've advanced.

[@EKVBLOODCRAZED]

@Ryderisking actually garbo's as you put it work 6 to 7 days a week. each county has different trash days.

[@MrsJarquin3307]

I live in lee county and we still have the guys who ride on the back and dump the garbage manually :(

[@aar4343]

@arobertification all you have to do is spend 200,000 dollars and you can have one of your very own. :)

[@antonioyuff]

What's interesting is that I just watched a 6 minute video solely about garbage trucks...fascinating...

[@JeremyMarks1872]

thats dangerous why would he start driving if the thing on the front is still in his point of view.

[@gizmo5376]

not as good as aussie trucks but ok

[@ItsRecycled]

@PoetWithoutASoul or they chill on the back, it looks fun as fuck.

[@angie1797]

oh my gosh what the heak is that and why am I waching this? oh yeah because it is awesome!!!!!!!

[@PoetWithoutASoul]

wow this people r so lucky. the garbage trucks in nyc the men have to actually get out the truck.

[@CameronClark1]

mt two year old has been watching this video since he was 14 months. He's seen it about 100 times.

[@JesuitFarmer]

man fuckin technology....this stuff is awesome, except, is it displacing workers? cuz then fuck em.
