My two year old son is enthralled with your garbage truck videos! He anyways runs to the window in the morning to watch the trash get picked up. Thanks for uploading!

My sons watched this video about a hundred times when they were younger. Today I was running errands with my oldest, now 15 y.o. We saw a front loading garbage truck and both watched in awe... And he asked me if I remember the video I used to let him watch in YT and that he'd like to rewatch it. So here I am, I found it right away, and sent him the link. 🥰

Oops, I guess I missed a milestone! lol I'm impressed, didn't expect this to be a crowd favorite so fast.

4:00 Waste Management overcompensating LOL

Dude, guess what!? If you go to the Waste Collection Vehicle entry on Wikipedia, it links up this video right in the first section of the entry, to show the different kinds of North American Garbage Trucks! Just thought I'd let ya know!

0:04 - Automated Side Loaders/ASLs 1:22 - Container Delivery Trucks 1:58 - Front Loaders/FLs 3:31 - Grapple Truck 4:19 - Semi-auto Side Loader/M/ASL 5:00 - Sorted Recycling truck 5:37 - Roll-off truck 7:21 - Rear Loaders/RLs

Who else saw at 3:03 when he threw out the door on the bin?

I want to say, I found your vids a while ago. My son, who's almost 2 LOVES trash trucks. And will sit there and watch your videos over and over!

This was an educational video, thanks! We just got a rear-loader garbage truck toy for our boy and he couldn't figure out how it worked. The last part of your video solved that mystery. (He concluded that it was far less automated than expected). We also saw the garbage bin lose its window at 3:04!

I can't wait to see the newest addition! I hope I'll have some time to sit down and watch it... I've been struggling lately to keep up with everything.

My 2 year old son loves watching your video. He requests it all the time. It makes all that more exciting when he sees the garbage truck pick up in our neighborhood.

our 3 year old is crazy about this video!! We don't have many of these trucks in The Netherlands so it's even more exciting for him.

Best garbage truck video ever! My two-year-old son cries when it's over. Amazing bit when they feed in the basketball pole.

I remember watching this video when I was a kid at 3:03 the dumpster door would go inside the garbage truck, it would always make me wonder why

Wow in my area if you put out something big like that basketball hoop to be picked up, they would leave it. We would also get a warning note telling us not to put items of a certain size or weight in the trash. So then you have to remove what ever it is and wait another week for your garbage to get picked up.

Thanks man! I'm glad you enjoyed it, I always like watching your local trucks too.

The most informative and influential video ever.

Yeah, the first time I ever saw that, I was stunned at how easy the truck will eat large items like that. Glad you liked the video!

this had to be one of the best explanations to the waste industry as far as equipment goes in a 10 minute vid it was so good i had to download it ;) great job al!

Just great! Thanks a lot for sharing!

That would be an honor if this made it to #1 for "Garbage Trucks" Thanks for the stars and fav!

8:06 I remember when a garbage truck took are basketball hoop Which was in perfect condition and was also sitting far away from our actual garbage. My mom contacted the garbage company that took the basketball hoop and they said that it wasn’t their problem and that they couldn’t help us get the basketball hoop back.

Very nice demo.

FormerWMDriver, we have 2 garbage companies in Fort Frances, 1 is Asselin Transportation and Dennis Robinson. We only have rear loaders, front end and roll off, but we used to have those curb sort recycling truck

Great job driver! I worked 22 years in solid waste, mostly driving a rear end loader. Also drove roll off as well.

Wow looks like you respond to pretty much everyone, love the hustle!

Great video I loved it. I remember as a little kid I used to go outside when I heard the truck and wait for the garbage truck to roll by each week. 30 plus years later when I hear the truck I am at least watching from the window. Those rear loaders are just mean. I don't think there is much that could stop that chomp !

Thanks, I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

I saw WSTPRO IHC S series CD truck just like that in Bradenton when I was departing. Was gonna film it but wasn't in the mood cause I was coming back from railfanning by Tropicana! There no more MSLs where I live & didn't know that WSI was in your area picking up trash! I have full respect for every type of trash truck no matter what it is! But the RL will always be my fav type of trash truck! Great Work, 5*!

Thanks for making this. My kids love it!

Now that's a lot of trucks in action in one video! Nice compilation!

I find this video strangely fascinating. I had no idea there were so many different types.

After one year I still frequentaly go back to this vid, once again teriffic work Alan

Thank you I'm glad you liked seeing this one! Thanks for the stars and fav!

That thing they used to do with the roll off trucks where they basically do a dumpster transfer at a dumping site no longer happens. Today, Instead, they would open the back manually and empty out the contents of the dumpster on/in the dumping grounds.

WOW, I'll have to check that out! Thanks for telling me.

Thanks, LOL glad you liked that... if you want to see more of that truck, I can "share" that vid with you... or you can just search for "FIT PakMor"

wow some of these i have never seen before thanks for the vid

AWESOME! You did a great job putting this together! 5* and Fav!

HAHA! The side door on the dumpster at 3:01 FELL IN THE TRUCK!!!

Great job on this one!

this video is AWESOME! i dont know how it could have been better!

My 20 month son loves your series. Bama! He says. Great films. Thanks! A good break from Caillou .

great job!!

good stuff dude, you are da man, 1 star like usual...economy is tough!

@KLsemperFi7 Thank you very much! Glad you've enjoyed the videos, I haven't had much time to get new stuff, but I'm hoping to get something new soon.

wow awesome video!! Great job putting this all together i enjoyed it!!!

Goodbye door 3:04

Thanks for letting me know. =) That's awesome.

awesome footage love ur vids dude! 5*!

This video is very helpful to me. Thank you! Now I can title, and label my truck videos more properly.I like when they compat the basketball hoop! Too cool. I got a video of a grease dump truck this morning, ( I do not know what the truck type is, it seems to be a special rear-loading grease dumper.)and when the guy got done dumping the dumpster, he peed on the back of his truck! Too funny! I bet I will never catch something like this again.

I'm blown away. I had no idea that they could demolish a basket ball pole like that.

@lordspyrox It was damaged. The video makes it look much better than it appeared in person. I'm surprised a scrap metal collector didn't grab it before the crew arrived.

Now alan I will know what a garbage truck looks like now LOL That way I won't pass any by mistake.Great video...

Thank you Kenny! Glad you enjoyed the vid! Thanks for the stars and fav.

5.44 hydraulic RORO cover. That is beautiful

i'm stoned and i'm watching a video about garbage trucks, I love life

ur welcome! for all ur work u have done to bring us all on youtube the world of garbage trucks awesome work!

@tatomuck18 This video is actually several clips from many of my videos. These clips were shot in Florida, Virginia, and Maryland. Garbage trucks usually smell bad, but they smell like money to me (I'm hoping to return to the garbage industry after I finish with college). In some places the automated trucks are replacing the manual collection trucks. It depends on the area, some places are difficult to automate.

Thanks Jake!

5:01 my town is literally crawling with these.

I've seen a garbage truck that had a big bin on the front (permanently fixed, not a dumpster) AND a side loader arm.

Sick vid! This vid explains alot! To people who dont know. Great job!

Love watching rear loaders crush huge stuff.

You are very welcome! I'm glad they enjoy it!

@RandomConcepts This is why more and more cities are moving to a "Pay as you throw" system of garbage collection. Basically they charge you per bag of trash and take recycling for free.

My dad was a roll off driver for 20+ years. I remember him telling stories of new drivers being killed when the container would flip off the side during loading

Thereby a 20 foot shipping container with rolloff frame can only be 70 cm overhang, but if you put it on a flatbed and strap it down, you can have 2 m overhang if you mark it with cones. By the way, the cones must be replaced with flashing lights if driving in dark hours. Non-commercial cars (and their trailers) can markup oversize loads with a dangling cloth, piece of plastic or similar that will catch attention from other traffic.

Awesome vids. I'm a commercial swing driver in Indy for WM. I wish somebody would start a trash truck drivers forum.

Best vid I have ever watched! 5* and fav!

wow... super amazing

Loved this video! I just had the need to look at how a garbage truck works, and I had no idea that in addition to the rear loader there are all those other type of garbage truck. those asl ones are freaky skynet shit!

Great video.

my three year old son loves this video

Yo great video. thanks. liked the basketball net. Trucks' engines must have a lot of horsepower.

@imstm Yeah many places are automating collection, but I think rear loaders will always be around because some area's are really difficult to service with ASL's.

very interesitng videos! im going to a diesel school and i will be working in these type of trucks, theyre awesome

Thank you!

o my god nice catch with the basketball hoop

Thank you very much!

@marybob321 You are welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! =)

That's great! I'm glad to see that. =)

@PhysicsTowerTeam Also, you can watch my video: "E-Z Pack ASL Walk-around and Demo 1-28-11" to see an entire automated side loader in detail. This show's one manufacturers design and these designs vary from builder to builder. That truck has the rocker switches to control the arm.

what an awesome video

5/5 enjoyed watcher your video, keep up the good work.

Well, thank you! It'll be interesting to see how high it climbs.

Thanks bud!

@stickmaster771 You are very welcome! Thanks for letting me know, glad he enjoys the video.

@mtr82952 Thanks! Glad you still enjoy the video. I may have to make an updated one eventually.

I remembered how scary rear loader trucks are holy crap...it just destroyed that basketball hoop which really didn't even look like it was broken or anything..

I think that WSI truck was "passing by." It looked like it was in transit from one location to another... I know that there's NO WSI in Brevard, but they have contracts in Orange County. Thanks for the stars!

@bexnew6 I'm very happy to see that! Thanks for watching!

I could have used that basketball goal. UGH. LOL

That basket ball goal looked perfectly fine...would be funny if it wasnt actually garbabe.

oOOPS, The side door fell off the one container

Cool, I'll have to look into that! I haven't heard too much about those models... but I did see one at Trash Taxi... but I wasn't about to pick it up off the shelf. lol

my 5 year old brother loves ur vids thank u

Man, what a dinosaur that grey FL truck is - and I've never seen a single axle FL truck either! Mechanical lids are ancient history. Talk about power line collectors.

Thanks!

anyone else kinda wanna be a garbage truck driver it looks fun
