Personally, I believe the City of Ryde has some of the nicest looking garbage trucks cruising through its streets. Like c'mon, just look at this rear loader... you have to admit it looks awesome! This truck was my top priority for my re-visit to Ryde, and it is sort of funny how it was the last thing I managed to get.
On the third day of my visit to Ryde, from when I got off the train, took the elevator to the top, exited the station and rode my bike to the service area, I was praying that I wouldn't fail to catch this truck again. I knew exactly where I had to be after seeing the same area twice on previous days, and that is exactly where I headed.
I was close to having a heart-attack when I saw all the piles, that I was sure would have been serviced, still sitting on the kerbside. My hopes were slowly drowned as I sped around the neighbourhood, with no sign of a truck passing by. Then just as I was getting close to giving up, I was rolling down a smooth hill on my bike, when I saw a shiny green machine round the corner and disappear into a street about 200m away from me. Without hesitation I tailed the truck and noticed they were only doing the green-waste, which worried me that I wouldn't get any actual clean-up action.
After gaining permission to film from two of Sydney's friendliest and funniest garbos, I also found out that they were going to come back for the clean-up after a few more streets... a total relief. So after following them for about 20mins and shooting some footage of bundled tree trimmings getting chewed up, they tipped off, I had a pit stop at a nearby service station and before I knew it they were back and chucking TVs, sofas, chairs, cupboards, shelfs, boxes and all that stuff into their Heil.
This would be the best clean-up footage I've captured; perfect piles set-out, the perfect truck and a very entertaining team. I hope you enjoy the videos I took of the classic household waste collection, ratings and comments are much appreciated. Also I'd like to give a massive thanks to the driver and the loader for making all this possible. Make sure you visit my other Ryde videos to see more truly awesome trucks...
