This channel is based on a passion for garbage trucks. Not many have an interest for this but there pretty cool to watch. I live in north-east Melbourne you’ll most likely end up seeing most trucks from north-east Melbourne on this very channel. Favourite council in Melbourne is Nillumbik, always loved their in house.
This one came around to collect Melton garbage at my place on Wednesday. The Knox part of the logo was covered with a white bit of paper. Was surprised to see it!
@@mattygeorge7029 oh nice. it’s most likely been out every day this week due to the driver shortages they have at the moment. i don’t mind this truck to be honest.
@@RSPGarbo all the old knox trucks have been replaced by the volvos, but i think a few like this one have stayed behind and move between depots as spares
Love it mate i also heard a truck like this in dande thought it was an old ex hume but when i looked over it was just a dandenong gerneral waste truck 😂
Is it just me or have I never seen a Whittlesea sulo greenwaste bin with a mastec lid for a replacement? Do they replace bins with sulo lids or only mastec lids?
i’ve seen lots actually. mastec is the current contractor for bins around whittlesea, so if your green waste bin breaks you’ll get a mastec lid as a replacement.
@@northerngarbo4513 so does that mean if my sulo glass bin lid comes off I will get a mastec lid on it? Because mastic lids don’t fit on sulo bins do they? Just wondering as my glass bin lid has snapped.
@@user-ol3hu3kh4p yep, so if your lid comes on your glass bin you’ll get a mastec lid in return because mastec now have the contact for glass bins as well. since the mastec 120ls have different handles that don’t fit with other lid brands they have a different design of lid to put on different brands like sulo, you can find those on the red lids that a old sulo will have a mastec lid with the different design handle.
I believe this is 22DJ spare truck used in Whittlesea. I be told that this truck made be one of the new trucks going over to Hume to become full time fogo truck as of 1 July
@@jackhim8213 speaking of which, i caught 16AE on nillumbik recycling yesterday. i didn’t know they took those spares out to nillumbik, usually just the volvos
Yeah i quite like it to be honest, something different compared to a usual ex melton, was confused cause Som’ had another ex yarra recycling 1450 but that left so i was confused to see this one back in whittlesea. i didn’t know it was shared with derrimut, probably explains why my recycling driver said his normal truck was in another yard
the council used to run the kerbside collections. which is when they started their ‘gro’ campaign in 2003 for their new 3 bin system, so they put that signage on their trucks. but since they put the contract up in 2020 jjs got the contract and so they either scrapped the old trucks or out them up for sale. the single axle gro truck 86 was actually kept for a little while to to litter bins and weekly garbage services.
so 17DH which is what this driver usually drives broke down twice in two weeks, so i suppose all those newer volvo spares were being used and they rarely take out those ex meltons except 11DN. probably one of those newer spares were on glass
JJs still haven't confirmed which will be going to which contract yet there's a few things that they need to consider first. We should know by marxh-April
This is perfect content. Can you please do More videos like this with the GoPro on the truck on the Whittlesea trucks. Also see if you can get hopper shots with the GoPro when it’s on glass bins
Thanks, yes i’ve got some opportunities to put the go pro on different angles this week so i’ll look into that - the hopper cam is my main priority and think about doing it on the glass truck
Awesome video Mate another video with part 2 hopefully you can do glass bin collection with your pro camera Same as garbage truck on side of the truck but glass truck collection can’t wait 😎👍
Yeah thanks, glad you enjoyed it. i’m in the process of getting different angles on different trucks so should see some more similar content to this in the next month or so
Cool I'm going to put up some photos on flicker later today of the floods in Doreen today. JJs weren't able to do some collection of garbage and fogo bins due to the flooded roads. Bins will be collected tomorrow or later in the week
