There are roads in Venice. Why do people always make assumptions that Venice has no roads at all?

@@automation7295 roads that are suitable for cars are really few and not even closely enough to link the whole city. Most roads are for foot traffic only since they are really too tight and often have bridges with steps to cross the canals. The only vehicle you are able to use to go in every corner of the city is the boat.

People fish off the floating bus stop/piers and pause when a water bus comes along 😁

Sadly there's not that many people who live there any more. The mass tourism there made it too uncomfortable to live there and you could say that the tourism choked the city. Even people working there as tour guides or selling their stuff at small market stands commonly live on the mainland and just take a boat over to historic Venice for work. It's a lovely city, but if you look past the tourism and architecture Venice is just an empty shell of it's former glory.

I am in Poland right now 🤘and it's great 🎉

On the Swiss truck it is written interlaken which is in the canton of Bern (hence the BE on the plate)

They mist the best one Amsterdam

Yes. The first 2 letters on the registration plate are Local Memory Tags, they show in which area the vehicle was registered for the first time (on this one VN - V = Severn Valley, N = The Motor Tax Office in Worcester). The vehicle keeps the Local Memory Tag until it is scrapped, even if it is sold to an area where another Motor Tax Office has jurisdiction. The 2 numbers shows the year the vehicle was first registered, deduct 50 if the numbers are above 50 (the Veolia truck 2017, the second one 2022). The 3 last letters are randomized by a computer.

@@crossundreisen7324 glad to hear ! have a nice time !

And short six-wheeled buses have them as well!

right, i drive a DAF CF cooled truck(3 axle) with rear axle steering, asside from that i use a yardtruck to do short distance in my town(3km between certain companies) and we use almost solely steered trailers mostly 3 axle with either 2 or 3 axle steering(mainly made by Krone or Renders)

It saves tires and Axles more than Helping with turns. It of course requires less force to overcome the resistance of the tire too.

That’s not even mentioning stuff like traverse or crab steering on the really heavy stuff like mobile cranes and the big cherry pickers.

@@DexMaster881 u are forgetting, that most garbage trucks in Europe, needs the BACK to throw stuff in, so they are backing up a lot, where rear wheel steering, becomes a lot more important, so u can take tighter turns, as showed in the clip at 3:30

To be precise, the canton of Bern (which shares its name with its largest/capital city which is the case for a number of cantons).

Often the smaller trucks are also used for streets that are not rated for the weight of the larger trucks.

@@RaXXha Or for smaller streets that are too narrow for the larger trucks. Some are as compact as golf carts.

The BE on the plate stands for the Canton of Bern, the actual town was marked on the side - Interlaken.

we have 10 seperate fractions of trash in denmark at our houses im pretty sure it is eu rules we have to do a min. of sorting norway use color coded bags and a machine to sort them and it all fits in the same truck. so they dont need to pick it up over 5 trips like most other countrys in eu we have also invented machines in denmark that can sort the trash, most european countrys just wasted to any money on different trash cans and new trucks for them, so they cant afford it

In the netherlands we seperate glass ourselves, you have these big containers that go way into the ground and you sort the glass yourself and they pick it up. We don't have it picked up from our house, but the rest is the same and we sort plastic.

In Sweden we separat, but the system differs a bit from place to place. I have two bins with for compartments each. They are for plastic, cardboard, paper, coulored glas, uncoulored glas, metal, food and "the rest". You can also put a special box to one of them in which you can put batteries, LED lights and small electronic things like calculators.

@@katam6471 Pretty good separation of waste! I forgot that we do have collection points for used batteries etc. in almost every supermarket. Stores that sell electronics, have to take electronic waste up to a certain size. Large waste like washing machines etc. are collected at waste disposal facilities.

@@gluteusmaximus1657 same with glass. we have special dumpsters for one way or non-reusable glass. They get seperated by color. makes it easyer to melt it back in the glass mill. and it saves on resources and energy. Beer bottles for instance are collected at the supermarket and sent back to the breweries. There they get scrubbed, washed, sanitized, refilled and recapped. So if you down a longneck that bottle might have been around for about 50 cycles or more. And the only thing that's really expensive about that bottle of brew is the cap...lol

The color depends on the region you live. In my hometown, the Paperbin is green.

Jooo, that the ALBA- company in Berlin and the truck is a Mercedes-Actros

@@real_doombastic same here

in the Netherlands orange: plastic blue: paper/cardboard green/brown: bio/gft(groente fruit tuin, vegetables fruit garden) we have ground containers for things that dont fit under these

worth mentioning is that it all pretty much goes to the same pile after they pick it up...

I think they are what you could call a specialized vehicle outfitter. For those trucks I am not even sure if they build the basic frame themselves or buy them from like Mercedes or Scania for example and put everything on it that makes it specialized. Looking at the cab though, this might well be a complete special built you see in garbage trucks around Europe. I know Mercedes has some close looking ones. What is special about those, besides this one, even for European measures, is a rather small truck. That is also, why they build the cabin so low in front of the truck, more like what you might see in a bus. For one those short ones are easier to maneuver around in narrow streets, or if they have to back into a rather small driveway or alleyway. But mainly it is so low, as the workers have to get in and out of the cab rather frequently, if they do not even walk along or ride along on platforms on the back. And getting in and out is of course a lot more comfortable with such a low cab. The bigger ones may have the regular height cabs as well, depending on where they are used. There are even smaller ones around like a 6.8 ton garbage truck for even narrower situations in our city, that has a high cab as well. The low cab would make it too long. This truck might be somewhere around a 12-14 ton or even some more model I guess.

@@alexanderkupke920 ... Dennis build the vehicles themselves, the company was founded in 1895. They specialise in refuse vehicles, fire engines, buses and airport service vehicles. They are very popular here in the UK, my local council has a massive fleet of them in refuse trucks, in 6 wheeler and 8 wheeler configuration. They are also available in 4, 6 and 8 wheel tippers.

@ianjardine7342 ... Dennis (founded in 1895) build refuse trucks, fire engines, airport service vehicles, buses, and construction trucks. They are available in 4, 6 and 8 wheelers. The buses are now built by Alexander Dennis (founded in 2004) a different company from Dennis who build the above mentioned vehicles.

@@martinwebb1681 they're in a lot of the ex empire. They were in the Australia video.

The Fire appliances division closed in 2007

Same in Italy. All garbage trucks have robotic arms and are operated by the driver. No other operators needed. It has been like that since I was a kid, decades ago...

@@Myria83 So not far off being fully automated then?

80 is what is usually allowed for trucks over 3,5T in the EU on highways. Some countrys allow 90. On smaller streets its 60-70.

All English Fire Engines used to be called Dennis

Interesting, I never knew they once made cars. There's a branch of Dennis-Eagle just down the road from my Blackpool office.

I wish we would build these in Germany ... at least in the cities. I can not imagen that that works in the rugal villages ^^

​@@julonkrutor4649probobly can't use them in most of Germany due to the weather. That is at least true for sweden. So we use vacuum garbage truck that sucks the garbage out from a full district at once. They do the run every day but suck out diffrent fraktion diffrent days. At so.e places the garbage truck use the same road as.the busses do.

Yeah, here in Finland we use those underground ones as well. One meter above ground, two or three meters below, or something like that. A normal garbage truck has a crane the crew can use to lift the huge sack out of the hole and empty it into the garbage truck's container. The above ground structure can look really clean and have a pleasant enough design because it doesn't need to be movable or anything, it's a solid structure fixed in place, aside from the top (lid).

In Finland we have holes dug in ground and trashcan build into it. They take out the top off from it and lift these massive bags to trucks. These are usually in public places but i've seen them in some building inner yards too. Sorry terrible explanation.

Many Dutch cities have these as well. So no garbage day because you can use it anytime and they come to empty it when needed.

Seen those in cities in mainland spain , logical in areas where space is at a premium,or you dont want the ugly dumpsters blocking the view, Expensive though

In general, I didn't see sideloaders, i.e. where the truck driver moves a robot arm on the _side_ of the truck to pick containers (usually by the 2) and lift and empty them. These are the most common ones here. There usually is somebody walking to somewhat align the containers (in case of parked cars blocking them), so it is not 100% only the truck driver.

@@eastcorkcheeses6448 they also help keep the smell down

Those exist in finland too

@@marcovtjev In the Netherlands the use of sideloaders directly controlled by the driver is very common. They rolled that out years ago. We hardly see rear loaded vehicles anymore, with the exception for dumpsters.

Exactly. The lower number is for undivided highways outside of city limits. The higher number for freeways. And yes, that means the truck at 11:54 is limited to 70 km/h (43 mph) outside of town and 80 km/h (50 mph) on the freeway (not that garbage trucks will be travelling too much on either type of road).

At least where I live in Sweden, we have green containers for combustion waste and brown for food waste. The same truck collects them both containers, but puts them into separate waste compartments onboard the truck. There is also underground waste management, where the garbage truck suck the waste using vacuum.

And a fun fact..its a mostly useless system. In the end, most of it ends up on the same pile again, shoveld on a conveyor belt and then sorted by hand. To extract the crap thats still worth something. I worked in several such facilitys...behind trash is a big business you wouldnt expect and think its all automated and clean.

In my home town, Gothenburg, Sweden, about 50% of food waste is reused as fertilizer. The other waste is incinerated at the district heating facility. About 80% of all buildings are connected and gets heating and hot water. My own house included. There is still room for improvements and it is being investigated.

I think he was talking about the D on the blue background at 8:20 meaning that both of you are right

B is from belgium

@@gorka16 If it were on the blue, yes, however, the B OP is talking about (on the white) does indeed stand for Berlin

What makes it one of the best tap water in the world?

@@huskytail it comes straight from the purest mountain springs.

One interesting detail on the garbage boat in Venice, look at the pilot house. You can see kind of rails and the upper part looks like put on top of the lower part. They can actually lower the upper part of that down, to clear lower bridges. Workers collect the garbage in those carts and get it to the boat. No roads for actual garbage trucks. Speaking of specialized garbage trucks having to go through tight spaces. But I think there is almost no vehicle type they specialized that much for tight places and maneuverability as garbage trucks.

not to mention "venecia" on the garbage bin, gondolas floating by and what looks like Marcus plaza in the background 🤓

Ok, but your name is Giuseppe…😊🌸

there are seven cities in Italy with canals but I think you are right that this one is Venice.

ppl from Rotterdam would be like whaaat???😉

@@theoteddy9665 Rotterdam? Not really, if you said Amsterdam...

Denmark and many other countries have switched to underground waste containers that can be picked up by a crane and dumped in the garbage truck. I don't know if they're one manned, but they could be. Unlike the attempted automation of picking up old school plastic bins, these containers are designed to be picked up by crane. They're very effective, requiring fewer pickups, and a lot nicer to look at.

@@m4ster_root It sure has advantages, looks cleaner ect., but its not without problems, too. So the container needs to be accessable for the truck, and its rather expensive to build. Perhaps a alternative for large dumpsters, in large appartment buildungs, business buildings an so on. But not a solution for everybody.

Sideloaders are the best for residential areas and countryside, they are used a lot here in Sweden. It's a lot faster and doesn't wear on the worker. It's also safer not being behind the truck on the country roads.

Here in the Netherlands we almost have only sideloaders. Works great only one person on the truck. Just takes some extra space on the collection days but those places are reserved for those bins. And in these times there is a lack of employees it is a good solution. Also no need for physical labor. When you live in apartment you will have access to underground waste dumpster. Those even have sensors so they get emptied when needed and saves unneeded movement with the trucks.

@@ronaldod7116 That is interesting. Finland is mostly one person per truck and especially during winter it's hard work pulling box containers on tiny wheels. We do also have containers with large bags that extend straight down to a hole in the ground. Above ground they have a plastic cylinder with a lid. They are easier to pick up using a crane in the truck, but this requires several meters of space above the truck and the container. I guess every method works well only when supported by city planning and careful placement of containers.

I’m so glad to have read this, I appreciate it. More Americans need to broaden their view on the world. I love our community here on the channel and truly enjoy learning so much

@@IWrocker If you really are into this, then maybe this will blow your mind. Denmark are doing a lot to transition to a fossil fuel free reality. Now the garbage trucks in inner Copenhagen are all electric so they do not pollute or make a lot of noise. And, I do not KNOW if this are a worlds first, but have not heard about any other having similar system, the garbage collection in "Nyhavn" or new haven in Copenhagen have for many years had a pneumatic garbage collection. If you look at photos/clips from Nyhavn you will see several black round "cylinders" placed along the harbour. Restaurants and people living there have a key to open and can then drop their waste and it are then pneumatically transported away to a central gathering point. It have been in function at least 10-15 years now. Off shore windmill farms deliver the electricity to run both. There are nothing to be scared of when transitioning away from fossil fuels. We already have all the technology and all the solutions needed. Most of them are improvements in relation to the ones running on fossil fuels. green hydrogen and electricity are the true future we need to transition to if we wanna survive ourselves. They just do not write about in US media because so many politicise reality of our dire situation. Lets not forget: "Through the great gift to humanity, glaciology, we now have a YEAR BY YEAR knowledge of the planets atmospheric Carbon content (and much more) for a period more than 10 times longer since Homo Sapiens left the African continent the first time. For over 850.000 years our atmospheric Carbon content have been relative stable at 220 PPM. 3 times in the 850.000+ years have gigantic widespread global volcanic eruptions raised the Carbon content with 30 PPM and EACH time it have triggered longterm climate changes for a very long time before the planets regulating systems slowly have been able to bring it down to 220 PPM again. It are truth to state that a atmospheric Carbon content of 220 PPM created us and nearly all living species present on the globe with very few exceptions. Besides the Asteriod that hit Yucatan 66 million years ago the largest species extinctions we have been able to document have happened during the 3 times the atmospheric content rose with 30 PPM. Since the Industrial revolution, just a few hundred years ago, we have raised the atmospheric Carbon content from 220 PPM to now (2022 number) 417 PPM! So humans NOW have caused not a 30 PPM rise but unprecedented 197 PPM! We are right now in the largest species extinction period since the Asteriod hit Yucatan 66 million years ago! The worlds oceans are right now heating with the same energy added equalling 5 Hiroshima bombs PER SECOND! That are the sickening facts!"

and the side loaders we also have are also amazing kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p8eFqaZ73NDMnWg.html
