I used to drive garbage trucks, they took both dumpsters and small trash cans, and they were the most fun big toys I've ever worked with.

[@kodymoss1071]

They are fun to operate, I love crushing bulk waste with the rear loaders.

Ayee you got that trash truck lego set too?

I had no idea they’ve only been around since the 50’s. That makes my parents older than the invention of garbage trucks. What did people do before garbage collection?

[@xanatgarcia9241]

Live at a trailer home community and we used to have to throw the trash bags at a dumpster by the entrance and ever since they put trash bins it’s made our lives easier, props to them

[@frankdenardo8684]

@@salemcripple back in the day old fashioned trucks were open and smells. Remember that riddle "what has four wheels and flies?". Current trucks used are the Peterbilt 520, Mack MR and Terra Pro, Autocar Xpeditor. Previous trucks which were discontinued: Ford C Series, Chevrolet, GMC tilt series, Kenworth 700, White 3000, Compact, Road Xpeditor, WhiteGMC Xpeditor, Volvo, Xpeditor. The above mentioned trucks are COE style.

The legendary Trash Truck. in the US there are three manufactures Hail Industries, McNeilus, and Oshkoch. The trucks themselves come from MACK in Allantown Pennsylvania and are delivered to the factory on piggyback. Once the truck arrives everything is added. Three models leave from this plant the LR which uses mechanical arms, the Terrapro which has a side loader or a rear hopper, and the Granite Axleback which has a rear compactor. These trucks are on the street hauling trash hours after they are built.

They use the i didn’t see it excuses go figure but they do via mirrors every professional driver worth there hide ain’t missing a thing through those mirrors.
