Palmy Side Lift/Load Recycling Garbage Truck with hopper shots - Truck 188-  

Palmy City Council recycling truck 188 is a 2019 Isuzu F Series equipped with a Bucher Sport body.
This video shows a few different stops and includes a couple of bonus shots from the action camera attached to some of the wheelie bins which give some nice close up shots of the side arm reaching out to grab the bin and some hopper shots as the bin is emptied.
It is interesting seeing the volume of none-recyclable items that are in the hopper of the truck, just from the two short clips in this video. Sadly many people treat these recycling bins like rubbish bins or have a "wish-recycling" mentality, hoping that what they put in the bin will be recycled. Sadly this is the worst thing they could do as many non-recyclable items can cause contamination of good recyclable items leading to (in some cases) the whole load to be dumped as rubbish and all the good samaritans who recycle correctly, their hard work literally goes to waste.
I am sure this is a never-ending issue for the council and their recycling program. And at the end of the day, it costs our city and the people who live there a lot of money to dump this waste and can cause machinery failures both in the trucks and at the recycling recovery facility.
Thank you to the drivers of this truck for allowing me to film them at work.
