Fabulous share .

[@DaMoOn555]

Great job why are these recycling all 140L

[@AussieGarbo]

1) Yes he was talking about my new piece of machinery. 2) The lifter's the same as the Formula 4000 ones (if you see the Manly trucks) 3) You're correct about the bin stopper, I saw them dump a couple of 240L's and it does get in the way. 4) Thanks again! :D

[@HeilEnvironmental]

Love to see it tipping 3 cans at one time!

[@07accosoutherngarbo]

Heil Environmental bins*

[@DanielWDonuts]

Same thing...

[@AussieGarbo]

In Waverley the garbage is weekly and the greens + recycling bins are serviced fortnightly.

[@BinKid2022]

Same here but before we got a second recycling bin we needed it every week and even put it out every week so the recycling truck would pick it up since the caravan park have there recycling week every week

[@T4799]

He rejected a bin.

[@AussieGarbo]

Thanks mate. Depends which truck I'm following... if it's a FL or a RL on commercial route, then I use my bike if it's available. Otherwise with residential or in cases where I don't have a bike... it's by running as hard and as fast as I can =] 90% of the time it's on foot though... I've suddenly become more fit than what I was a while ago! lol

[@AussieGarbo]

@stormspotters Every two weeks mate...

[@TransperthBusFootage]

Great work Mitch theres a lot of bottles and this truck is actually a back loader truck and some milk carton just fell of the side loader and the bins are smaller.

[@AussieGarbo]

@binmanzed These lifters are built in Australia, no relation to euro designs, but they still handle the four-wheel containers.

[@AussieGarbo]

Nah it's a mixed stream of bottles and containers, so the residents are meant to throw all the glass, plastic and steel/aluminium cans into the single bin. It's good this way too, because the plastics and cans provide a sort of padding for the glass, reducing breakage, therefore increasing recovery.

[@lahluv]

nice. love the sound

[@mrRMV1]

@spirosalamanos so? i mean im garbageman for 7,5 years now, and dont mind if i have to walk, paper, plkastic bottles or whatever.. were MUST ware safteshoes and reflectionclothes!! its all have to do with youre own safty... specialy because youre at the street

[@djzee1000]

Where I work, our recycling lads would get SHOT for wearing shorts when dealing with glass, even in the summer lol

[@mrRMV1]

shorts?? and sneakers?? wtf!! where are the safety shoes? and reflectionclothes???

[@algebra2qaz]

man u are so lucky i have trucks here that wouldn't allow glass bottles as recycling

[@Br1913]

It is plastic, glass and metal I believe(When they drop a few bottles on the floor, you can see)

[@westaustraliangarbo341]

U know one of the guys on Bondi rescue is a Waverley council garbo

[@spirosalamanos]

@mrRMV1 Then you must know better.I was just sayin'. ;-)

[@TheAustralianGarbologist]

Well this video blowed up....

[@spirosalamanos]

@mrRMV1 Its just bottles m8!

[@Thc60]

GREAT

[@desperado315]

AussieGarbo. Is there a chance of hearing damage as a result of all that glass/bottles crashing against the metal surfaces? If so, what kind of precautions are taken? I doubt very much they'd want to use hearing protectors from a safety point of view.

[@AussieGarbo]

Over time if you're exposed to it for long enough and quite frequently there's that possibly risk, depends on the individual I guess but and how much glass is in there. Some guys opt to wearing ear plugs, but it's not something I've seen very often myself.

[@plaqueconspiracy]

Great way to become deaf!

[@desperado315]

valid point

[@abelpadilla7789]

What’s with the shorts with all that glass around
