Welcome to my channel, I share Garbage Trucks and Waste Management videos I have made. I also do a Best Of Series where I do a compilation from other people's channels. I have filmed bin lorries/Garbage Trucks across England, Wales and Scotland. The older videos have music on them but the newer ones don't, so you decide which you like more.
UPLOAD SCHEDULE I upload 3 shorts a week I upload one video from across the UK on Monday.
I spent several years driving Econics, bloody awful trucks, air con fails almost immediately, blind spots galore, gutless and not particularly comfortable. I'd take a Dennis over one of them any day.
Absolutely brilliant rota press was the first bin lorry that used to do our wheelie bin when we first got them in 87 it was a Seddon Atkinson the lifts used to have square windows on bk bins used to tip through
@@BinandChill Yes, an early 90's Leyland Daf 360 with a silver barn like structure covering the cylinder. Sometimes it was a Seddon Atkinson but it had the same body and more or less the same interior, it just looked older inside.
you're not gonna like this mate but honestly if i was you I would take this down and wait until you have time to blur them out properly because you can still recognise the crew let's be real 🤷♂️
@danielallan-beth1720 I'm sure they were, but if you say you'll blur them out it's no wonder 🤷♂️. my point is while they were fine to be on camera, they'd probably not be best pleased if they saw this, I've had guys who were happy for me to follow along so long as their faces couldn't be seen in the final cut, so you have to respect their wish
I saw these when I was in Wales thew other week, I could hear the compactor which was interesting as I didn't know these had them. It seems households there have boxes and bags for everything which goes out the same day, however some houses did have wheelie bins being collected by a standard rear loader.
Yeah they are cool but painfully slow. In wales they still have a good mix of bags and boxes. Hopefully I can showcase one of those councils in a few months. Wish me luck!
@@BinandChill I was in Prestatyn if you are looking for a place to start, the static caravan site I was stopping at also had a nice Scania drop by for the bins there every couple of days, a white 26 tonner with a Variopress body on. Good luck!
I wonder how this stacks up against other options. It seems very slow, labour intensive and low capacity. Of course it must cut down on the processing post collection quite a lot, but does it make that much difference making the sorting a fleet of large mobile units for dealing with much lower quantities of waste independently? There must be benefits to bulk sorting of waste like must happen with the 'blue bins' in out area (Northern Ireland, and the rural area I'm in, have black (general/landfill), blue (recyclables) and brown (garden and food waste) bins, all 240 litres). Does 3 people for collecting and sorting this volume of waste really match up to however large a crew would be required in a central sorting centre and fleet of conventional bin lorries for dealing with that volume of waste? Obviously not everyone has the space for what would then be 6-7 separate bins, (landfill, compostables, cardboard, glass, mixed paper, plastic and tins), but they could be smaller bins, maybe the 140 litre bins, potentially emptied less frequently each, and could use the same standard higher capacity compacting truck with smaller crews (potentially a single operator for those with the mechanical arm for lifting bins from the roadside like we have here that are single crewed). There would still be a need for sorting centres of some description because leaving the public to sort materials correctly this precisely isn't going to be reliable, but I imagine these still have something after this truck because they can't guarantee broken glass can't contaminate other materials, or paper sticks to card or plastic, etc, and the crew is still human and working to time pressures, they can't sort through every item individually so more contamination must still happen with this than with a large central sorting centre, which these trucks still are going to as you can't split the compartments apart to go to separate processing facilities for each material when they're all built into the same truck.
Your not wrong. It just depends where the councils priority's are. I would recommend checking out Bryson recycling (they we're who came up with these and run a huge fleet in N.I, you might be able to get a tour or something) and the channel collections blueprint might be helpful. I can send you the links to their channels if you can't find them.
Unfortunately they can only work with the compartments closed. I'll try my best to explain show they work. The plastic and cans get tipped onto a plate which moves up and then another plate pushes it backward into the top green section with the 'super recycling' on. The door at the back then opens and the top plate pushes it out. The cardboard compartment has a sort of scissor lift system mounted on the roof that goes down and compacts it that way. Then to empty the back bit (with the 'caution workers') opens upwards and brings a bit of the floor with it so the cardboard goes out that way. Hopefully that helps you visualise it.
@BinandChill yh but your lifts are electric, and i think it more depends on the engine type bc you ain't gonna be changing gears while you're loading lol
@@smallsherpa2222 Oh wow, thank you. It's not every day I get such a nice comment. The next few weeks feature some good videos for you to look forward to.
I would love to but at the minute I can't predict 2 days ahead and I'm quite busy so I can't just now. Is everyone on your crew ok with being filmed? When I'm less busy I might be able to make the trip.
