The New and Improved Curotto Can, Recycling Route

We recently demo'ed a Currotto can and I've gt to say, I liked it a lot! I've included outside footage, extended POV in-cab footage (so that you can see how the can handles a lot of different scenarios with this loose material. I heard containment on the old version of the Currotto was pretty bad), and unloading footage. I hope you enjoy!

I’m working on a report to submit to my city council. We need some changes made to our waste collection and this is the set up I am recommending Heil Low Rider with Currotto Can. I think we would need 3 or 4 of them 32 yard trucks.

[@sidwellsk8er]

The 28 yard body is plenty enough for just about any application. We run almost nothing but those in residential. If you run the packer twice per dumped bucket and try to fit in three once it's packing I haul about 12-13 tons on a fully packed load.( until the packer won't go past the clean out door) I've had some 15 ton or more loads but it's a lot of work and sitting still running the packer until it gets a full hopper again...but like I said, it's totally enough body for any application.

[@M22OHIO]

@@sidwellsk8er We have a city about 7,000 single family houses and somewhere between 14000-16000 residents. The city used to own 7 rear loaders and 3 segregated body recycling trucks and ran garbage about 5 days a week. We have a contractor who does it now and they try to do the entire city in one day. Sometimes they fail at it and the contractor really isn't any cheaper and they really don't do a good job so that's kind of where were at.

[@sidwellsk8er]

So is it unlimited service and poor access to dump? I was just wondering because of the capacity you chose.

[@M22OHIO]

When the city did it them selves it was no holds barred unlimited service. When the contractor came in the service became very limited to limited. Now they want less limits on service. The City owned 3 Loadmaster 400s probably 31yard and 3 Leach 2Rs that were 25 yard. 70 tons of solid waste capacity. The landfill is probably 25-30 miles away. So not great dumping capacity.

[@sidwellsk8er]

So one load a day, or two? How many tons per route daily on average? Sorry for all the questions, I'm going somewhere with them.

[@DISHWASHERANDDRYER]

not a bad vid at all!

Nice work man can you see if you can do a video of you getting into the truck and starting it up and taking off from the yard and go on about the full route because that would sound so awesome thank you I would really appreciate it stay safe brother

bro currotto cans are so cool

[@bigmack126]

This by far was the best recycling video with a Currotto can I've ever watched. The filming was excellent with the help of the camera filming the dumping of the bins. One question I have being a viewer instead of a trash truck guru... what is a "half pack"? If I don't ask I won't know the answer.

[@medicalgarbage3575]

Haha you bet! I think they call it a half pack because the packer blade only goes ~ half way back in the body when it's packing. This helps extend the life of the tail gate bolts and seals I think, since you're not pressing as hard on them. It's also called a low rider because the truck height was lowered vs traditional front loader trucks

[@texasgarbagetrucks6206]

It's called half pack because the bottom of the blade packs and the top acts as a barrier for spilling over.

[@laurin4339]

@@texasgarbagetrucks6206 I don‘t know where you got that from but it‘s definitely wrong, Medical Garbage is right.

[@texasgarbagetrucks6206]

@@laurin4339 Heil Environment video on their half pack

[@laurin4339]

@@texasgarbagetrucks6206 mate, I‘m not gonna argue, the half pack is named half pack because it only packs halfway into the body which reduces wear on the hydraulics. Most FL out there including the Heil Half Pack have the curved blade but that is not why it is named half pack. If you don‘t trust Medical Garbage and me, jump on CRT to the Heil album and read the articles found there about the Heil half pack.

[@GarbageSean]

Very very nice! Gotta love a shiny new Peterbilt 520, that's for sure! Are you guys going to get some of these combos? Would be awesome! I assume this one's a 2020 model, right? What engine, Cummins X12 or Paccar PX9? I sent you an email with a few things, don't know if you saw it yet...

[@smashtrash4373]

I love the cab ride and love the engine sound. Do you guys have any newer peterbilt 320 heil half/pack you could ride in ?

[@medicalgarbage3575]

We did in fact, just get one a couple of days ago

[@smashtrash4373]

Medical Garbage when do you think you could ride In it like this one ?

[@frankhoffmann1533]

is it allowed, in the red tons take plastic-bags and -bottles or cans to do?

[@schoolbusguy2025]

I saw plastic bags in the recycling bin. I don't think so.

[@staintedcards]

the bags are separated from the recycle at the MRF they tear open the bags and dump out whats in them then bags go to trash and that's it same with yard waste they empty whatever is in the bags then throw away the bags

[@staintedcards]

does this truck have the auto dump like on some of the WM trucks push the red button on joy stick and it dumps don't know if that's good or bad lol

[@medicalgarbage3575]

It does and personally, I LOVE it. Very very handy

[@JMANWiSS]

How did you felt this did as far as packing goes? I've always heard the perks of a front loader, semi auto or fully auto- is you don't have to wait for the packer since there's essentially two hoppers.

[@medicalgarbage3575]

Yes, it was MUCH much better in terms of packing. The brand new McNeilus ZR has a ton of trouble packing recycling in this neighborhood. This Fel had 0 clogging and was only like 60% full, if that

[@JMANWiSS]

@@medicalgarbage3575 Do you think they are strongly considering getting some? I've heard currotos aren't the best for recycling due to the loose items, and the flip cover screen degrades over time, however if you also do a run with garbage and get a feel there too. I'm sure you noticed the different swinging access capabilities you have with being able to pivot on the back wheels with the arm at the front to get around the cars. If you guys do any more demos curroto pov footage is so fun to watch. One of my favorite videos on your channel

[@medicalgarbage3575]

@@JMANWiSS Thanks for the feedback!! :) Yes I think theyre gonna get one and yes very nice to have the arm at the front of the truck haha. Is that screen replaceable? Seemed relatively easy to replace no?

Aaron Vagnini True points. But in my city we have tons or dead ends and tight cul d sacs where a Curotto wouldn’t be practical

[@Zachattack2002]

What was the beeping on the truck

[@wnytrashtrucks]

That looks like it packed a really full load. How many tons was it?

[@medicalgarbage3575]

Tbh I don't remember :( this place is usually ~ 4 tons

[@staintedcards]

@@medicalgarbage3575 4 tons that's not even half full lol need to get rid of that beeping by me we have Gomez automated and he does 6 tons recycle maybe 7 on a good day greens we have pete amrep he does 8 or 9 tons he could pack more

[@sidwellsk8er]

@@staintedcards he didn't say it only held four tons, he said this place is usually four tons. Most I've put recycling on one of these is around 7 tons but on average it's closer to 6. Once it's full it just keeps rolling the load and it keeps falling back into the hopper so depending on the density of the product the weight varies. If I ran an area with a lot of cardboard the load would be lighter in weight because it takes up more room and doesn't compact well.

[@OscarcastrejonCastrejon]

4 tons of recycling is not bad. Would like to see it in a nasty overloaded barrel trash route .

[@FresnoRefuseTrucks]

These would really benefit the company from there perspective. I didn't like the obnoxious belts on the grippers

[@medicalgarbage3575]

And they're adjustable to grab a wide variety of cans :)

[@MattTrains2001]

will a currotto can work with any front loader or do you need a modified or specialist one for it?

[@alexandercoppage8018]

Matt Trains well depends on how the truck is built not all front loaders garbage trucks are like this like bay disposal 239 in Virginia Beach that truck is designed for currotto can but unfortunately the neighborhoods down here are way too small way too many trees in the way so the truck is being used for commercial trash/ recycling routes dumpsters but one way you can tell if it’s a currotto can truck is that if you notice the truck has two steering wheel and joystick and controls that’s the way I’ve always look at it.

[@medicalgarbage3575]

I will also add, you can retrofit trucks to fit a Currotto. So like a McNeilus Meridian can be made to work with a Currotto. We're doing that with one of our trucks and it'll be a solely left hand drive, operating the currotto from the left (will take some getting used to)

[@DavidKott]

Medical Garbage you should try a double dump with the curotto I’ve seen it before I think and it seems a lot easier to do with a curotto then a regular ASL due to the faster can dump time

[@medicalgarbage3575]

@@DavidKott What's a double dump? Like 2 cans at once?

[@DavidKott]

Medical Garbage yes I’ve seen a lot of videos of drivers doing double dumps and everyone loves it but it’s pretty effective too if the cans are super close together instead of getting out just double dump Lol and I’ve seen curottos around here where I live here in Michigan they still drive on the right hand side when on route but any other time the are of the left hand side so I’m sure you guys will probably have some trucks outfitted with dual steer

[@dickhead0423]

Nice, what are the yellow bins for?

[@FresnoRefuseTrucks]

Yard waste

[@dickhead0423]

Fresno Refuse Trucks never heard of yellow compost bins before, must look horrible after a few months of use, won’t hide the muck like green or brown does

[@medicalgarbage3575]

Yeah they get gross-looking, especially on the inside

[@dickhead0423]

Medical Garbage Would be so much better if they used the standard US colours (black waste, blue/yellow recycle and green compost)

[@snowmanandbandit8829]

I drove one of these a few times on a Autocar body and it was nice. The only real downfall of it was col-d-sacs, the truck is basically the size of it lol Will your company be ordering of of these?

[@medicalgarbage3575]

They did order yeah! I figured out if you turn in tight to start, then turn the wheel hard after that, you can make it around med-large col-de-sacs without having to back up :)

[@snowmanandbandit8829]

Medical Garbage Those Autocar’s turn on a dime. I saw in your info that if you have footage of a garbage truck to email you? I drive for a city here and would like to share some footage with you. Should I just email you?

[@sidwellsk8er]

Cul de sacs are the best thing about a Curotto can. If you hit the cul de sac right and trace the curb with the corner of the can you can pick up every cart as you go. Unless there's a car in it or they put the carts way out from the curb.

[@nate9002]

Looks like these work really well hopefully you guys end up ditching the mcneilus side loaders for these

[@medicalgarbage3575]

We officially are :)

[@nate9002]

No way man. I can say after over 20 years the ZR is the best ASL I’ve ever operated. I absolutely despise Curottos

[@MrHunt916]

Medical Garbage well that sucks

[@richwillis8]

truck looks cool just dont see the benefit of it vs a traditional ASL Truck one less step involved.

[@medicalgarbage3575]

It seemed a lot quicker to us, since you don't have to bring the can up the whole height of the body; compiled over a thousand cans, you can save some serious time. Also packs a lot better than an ASL, which can also save up to ~ 1-2 hours

[@sidwellsk8er]

Believe me I've ran plenty of both of them and they are a lot faster. All of their negatives still don't add up to them being slower in any way. Overhead clearance and windy days are there biggest problems but you can overcome the clearance problems most of the time and if it's windy out you dump the can more often to contain the product better.

[@collin27]

I really enjoy your videos, except this one these trucks are so boring to watch!! BUT if they work better for your company and others enjoy watching then its a plus.
