this Electric Truck is full of Garbage...

Have you ever wanted to drive a garbage truck? Visit: www.Kiwico.com/JerryRig to get 50% off your first month of any Kiwico subscription! Huge thanks to Kiwico for sponsoring this video. I have always wanted to drive a garbage truck. It just seemed like a lot of fun to use the big robotic arm to dump the trash into the big bin and take it all to the landfill. Today we get to drive a garbage truck and see what happens to all the trash we throw away.

[@bloodypommelstudios7144]

Garbage trucks always seemed like the perfect candidate for electrification. They have frequent stop/starts, load in residential areas at antisocial times where noise is an issue, operate in large depots which could easily fit a charging station and once their shift is over they sit around doing nothing leaving plenty of time to charge. I was thinking a top loader was a strange choice considering the energy limitations (I may be biased too because they're pretty rare where I live) but doing the math lifting the trash would only require a few kg or extra battery to perform this work.

[@coredumperror]

> plenty of time to charge With a 350kWh pack, that'd require some fairly hefty charging to fill it overnight. If you wanted to use an AC feed, you'd need a 148A charger to fill that battery in 10 hours. You could maybe depend on having 15 hours a day of charge time, which would drop that to ~100 A, which is pretty doable. But I wonder if they just use a custom, low-power DC "slow charger"? When you've got 10 hours to charge, you'd only need 35kW... per truck. Though that's actually quite a lot, now that I think about it.

[@drister007]

@@coredumperror IF they empty the battery every day down to 0 %, then it is correct: 148A at 236V yes, BUT they have 400 V industrial AC circut available and that is only 88A. ;) But they probably only use half the battery a day, so that is ONLY 44 A at 400 V, not a lot at all. Why only half the battery? Because with all stopping and starting the average speed is around 5 km/h, so in 8 hour shift that is 40 km per day. That is only 25 miles. The whole battery have 60 miles of range doing pickups, so they use only half the battery a day.

What about recycling and other waste management projects?! It all end up in a landfill?!

[@squrrll]

Most cities in Utah use a separate can for recycling and green waste pickup. The garbage pictured here would have been from the everything-else/general waste can.

[@Chrislk1986]

Having had the opportunity through a country-sponsored conservation program to tour a recycling and transfer station nearly a decade ago, it really puts in perspective why we really need to be creating and buying more sustainable products. I learned way back in 2nd grade about recycling (idk, 1993 or 1994) and took it to heart. I'm very passionate about educating people and would do it many many times daily while working for state parks. I just cringe when I see things like plastic drink bottles in the trash (like I saw here). I think overall we've been lacking over the past 2 decades on education, but it's actually nice to see an electric garbage truck. Really looking forward to school busses and 18 wheelers make the adoption. Maybe in the next decade or two this will really drive home the idea of hot-swapping battery packs. This way batteries can be charged slowly to preserve integrity and you could have it done in a few minutes--Which would negate a big negative that electrics currently have.

[@HansMilling]

Strange that some countries still have land fills. We sort all our garbage, into paper, cardboard, glass, metal, soft/hard plastic, bio (anything suitable for composting) and the rest is burned for central heating and electricity production. So we have no land fills or anything like that. We actually import garbage from other countries to have enough to burn. Yes burning creates CO2 but the chimney is very efficient in capturing all the bad chemicals, and I think a landfill is much worse, as the risk of ground water pollution and soil pollution is high, it attracts lots of nasty animals, many are injured on sharp objects or get stuck in metal cans etc. and there are even risks of fires, where the smoke is not filtered. Also we can't just fill our planet with garbage, so we need to get rid of it.

I am impressed. From the looks of the video, it seems that in the US you are starting to electrify vehicles like rubbish trucks, but you don't recycle. What's the point of using electric vehicles without basics like reusing or recycling...

[@pedrohernandez9967]

by the way, the buttons on the console of the recycling truck are badly translated into Spanish :)

[@wolf0491]

Recycle is usually in a separate can and different truck picks it up. That said each town will do it differently and yes some cities perhaps don't offer recycling.

[@BritishTeaLover]

Recycling has to be organised by the city/state level, it's not something an individual company can do without ridiculous amounts of capital. Whereas a collection/processing company does have the money/ability to get an electric vehicle. These guys will be contractors, they don't get to decide whether their city recycles, but they can do this little bit to help at least. And small steps are better than no steps.

[@user2C47]

Most people in the US refuse to recycle because they're lazy or they think it's too complicated. Anyone who wants to recycle has to confirm that an item can be recycled (most packaging cannot), any food container has to be thoroughly cleaned, and in most places it has to be driven to the recycling center. This is far too much work for normal people to do. Also, reusing doesn't seem like a possibility because most people are so used to the concept of disposable everything. For example, meals are usually eaten from disposable packaging, on a disposable plate, with a disposable fork, with drinks from a disposable container in a disposable cup, all of which are not recycled. I don't expect this to ever change unless resources become scarce enough that we have to start mining landfills.

[@littlejackalo5326]

What does one have to do with the other? Derrrrrp. Recycling is just not feasible in most of America. Think of tiny little European countries as US cities, density wise. Just like you can get tiny dense European countries to recycle, you can get dense US cities to recycle. The other reason the EU can recycle is because of the debilitating taxes. So Americans would have to choose between not recycling as much and being able to afford their own homes and cars, or mandating recycling and paying rent to some foreigner to live in a tiny hovel, and barely being able to afford a car, like over here in Europe. Recycling is extremely expensive and is payed for by the government. The US doesn't have the tax income in most places to do that. Plus, most of our "recycling" is sent to India or China, where it is handled in environmentally destructive ways. Once you factor in all the shipping and handling of recycling, it is almost a net loss environmentally.

[@Baxtexx]

Yeah I was thinking that too. On this particular case there is no recycling at all?! The thrash bins we have here (sweden) are divided into separate sections so we can divide paper, plastic, organic, glass, electronics etc. When the garbage trucks come, they will also have different sections so that most thras can be sorted and recycled directly.

[@MP4_mafia]

@@Baxtexx to be fair there are plenty of cities with well funded recycling and compost programs, and in my liberal town in Michigan it's pretty good. But access varies widely from place to place, and even with good recycling programs a large amount of plastic is often diverted to landfills. Packaging and products need to meaningfully change on the producer side- it's reduce, reuse, then recycle.

And then to learn that it's taken from the collection centre and shovelled into landfill... i'm truly surprised by that. i wouldn't call myself a tree-hugger, but how irresponsible is that to just dump your waste into the earth and make it a future generation's problem. Doesn't Denver have any green, ecologically-friendly recycling and forward-thinking waste management policies ? Zack's review of the truck itself and it's features and capabilites however was up to the usual impeccably high standard we come to expect from JRE.

[@Baxtexx]

I agree. I didn't think landfills were even a thing in the west anymore.

[@Thecowboy1950]

Yeah and when the battery’s dying the truck that’ll go to the landfill to

[@homie4235]

Many places do have recycling bins it depends on the city what types of items are recycled. I'm not sure what leads you to believe Europe doesn't use land fills because they do just like every other place.

[@ghkillah1995]

I have to say that's pretty freaking awesome. Amazing technology mixed with hard old brute workload will be a dream soon enough.

[@bashaaksema94]

So cool to see, we recently made another huge electrical cabinet for a recycling factory in US so I wonder if we get to see that in action

[@patrickjiaweng7417]

The truck is actualy from byd china

"It's got a turning radius of a garbage truck" . . Quite literally!

[@Joe90V]

Fantastic EV, perfect use of electric technology, no pollution on the suburban route. It's a shame though that shed isn't sorting the trash into recyclables and the different types of plastics for onward distribution. Maybe have a quiet word with them? :)

[@Willoliver95]

This struck me the most, here in Belgium we have separate waste collections for general waste, cardboard/paper, food waste, garden waste, PET/Plastic. We are currently one of the best in terms of recycling, but seems the states hasn't really caught onto the concept yet?

[@onyx8231]

I'll never forget the time a garbage truck accidentally started pushing it's entire compressed load out in front of my house due to a malfunction or rookie mistake. They shut-off the engine half-way through the process. It took a brush pick-up truck with a claw to clean up the mess. I saw the whole thing from my window and was fascinated by the whole situation because a couple of hours later, you'd never know what just happened.

[@IJm3]

Nice video Zach 👍

[@boppins]

Pretty cool. I was hoping they'd engineer some kind of battery swap out. I don't think this would work well where I'm at -- too many houses to service. You'd need a crazy amount of these trucks. I don't know where you're at but we also have separate trucks for recycle bins and "green".

[@seb020386]

Great video as always Zack! Quite surprised though at the non existent recycling going on there. Only comparing to European standards which emphasises recycling at “home” level.

[@MitchIsAsleep]

This is so cool! also you looked pretty swag with the contruction drip

Seems really practical for the start stop infront of every garbage can a truck does

[@Nopenottoday6907]

This is actually what I do for work I'm 17 and have been doing this for the last 3 years our trucks are not nearly as nice we have to do everything by hand so yes I get to ride on the back of the truck and smell the different fumes from the trash but eventually you get used to it honestly love my job and love the guys I work with we usually put 3 to a truck (a driver and 2 throwers that ride on the back) when we do the city routs and 2 to a truck in the country I do a city route every Monday and I love it until people over load their cans 😂

Just out of curiosity, BYD is a Chinese brand, as seen on the steering wheel, was it designed in China made in the US, or is the made in the US just a gimmick? With the ownership and founding in China, I just wondered if it was made in the US. Just asking out of curiosity, sorry for the people who think this question is disrespectful.

[@hiteshadhikari]

Made in USA means assembled in USA

[@jamesdoe5804]

It is made in Lancaster, California. BYD have factory there

[@concinnus]

The batteries are likely LiFePO4 blades made in China (it's a safe and durable chemistry, at least), but the chassis is probably made in Cali and the garbage-handling stuff is surely added here.

[@kralexprofill4571]

A very cool machine indeed. The only sad part is that the rubbish goes to a landfill instead of recycling or at least incineration for electricity

They could've added extra solar panel on top so it would charge even when on duty. Cause it's not driving that fast and all day long it would go then stop, pick up garbage, go then stop and so on. As it sit in the sun, it will continuously charge

The only problem would be that it would get filthy and possibly broken I know on my route we have a lot of low hanging branches that tend to smack into the top of the truck
