Recycling with

[@CitywideGarbo]

Forgive me, I've only just got around to watching and commenting. Loved every minute of it, an old beat up E5, single axle and flat faced :D Gotta love the truck, I reckon it goes pretty good on recycle, gee those grabs look really stuffed, that normally happens when a bin is grabbed with a pole, causing the grabs to bend out, I caught our recycle 22m dennis on garbage this morning, grabs were stuffed up a bit. How many of these flat-faced 18ms are still running around? there pretty cool and I'd love to see one handle fogo. Good work mate.

Thanks mate, it's a bloody beast of a truck, love it. It goes pretty well even on 240s, doesn't pack out very quickly. Yeah, its quite often got trainees driving it so someone probably wrapped them around a pole. Sadly this is the only one left, they had five 2013 single axles but this is the only one left now. There is a 2010 Euro 4 single axle running somewhere, and there's also a 2011 Isuzu single axle that goes out very occasionally. Don't think I've ever seen this truck on fogo before, there are a few vids from other creators of some of the other single axles on green waste, and one of 71059 which was the same as this on greens. Cheers mate

Must be one of the last to feature the old Collex Hippo which was already phase out elsewhere in Australia in 2009 but in Tasmania it continued until 2014 if I'm correct! All the trucks from 2014- present just have Veolia branding!

[@TassieGarbo]

Spot on mate, one truck from 2014 had the Collex Hippo on it then just Veolia after that!

[@wasteintasmania]

Bang on, there's only 2 sideloaders left with the old signage, and a few rear loaders.

[@Launceston_garbo]

​@wasteintasmania Nah mate there's also Ts33, 41, and 46 up here north which have the old collex hippo on the side. Cheers mates!

[@wasteintasmania]

@Launceston_garbo1 ah yeah forgot 41 had it cause 42 didn't have it, and I forgot you still had ts33 up there, does it just sit in the yard all the time now

[@Launceston_garbo]

@@wasteintasmania Yeh mate, Every day in that Launceston yard. I wish they would bring it out for once

[@garbagetrucksofsanmarcosca]

Awesome video mate.

[@wasteintasmania]

Thanks mate

[@garbagetrucksofsanmarcosca]

@@wasteintasmania no problem mate.

[@TassieGarbo]

What a beast mate, sounds good. Love the aggressive bin shake and some good operating too! Nice shots, haven't seen 61 operating in person for a while now. Wonder what the grabber was run into. Cheers!

[@wasteintasmania]

Thanks mate, it sounded really good. I noticed it had the heavy auto shake, a lot of them seem to now. She has got some very good operating skills, I think she was only still training a few months back with the bloke from 94. I think it's been south of the depot mostly, seems to be doing chop out runs and replacing a few other runs. Who knows, probably wrapped around a pole by a trainee. Cheers mate!
