Wyndham Recycling

At the very end of 2020, Cleanaway started picking up in the new Wyndham Council council contract that they had won off JJ Richards. It was one of Cleanaway's first contracts using the new Euro6 Acco or in other words a rebadged Stralis. Recently I visited Werribee to document one of six big 35m³ Bucher Gen6's that handle that take care of the Recycling. Wasn't an easy find though as I had kept running into older Dennis Superior Pak spare trucks doing Recycle which made my visit drag out and the rain didn't help either.
It was interesting times when Casey, Cardinia and Wyndham kicked off as Cleanaway moved away from Superior Pak and did a bulk order of Bucher Gen6's. One thing many picked up on is how Casey and Cardinia trucks were ordered with the Extend a slide option (Extra Slide Reach) but the Wyndham trucks didn't get ordered with that option and had the basic standard slide. Not that you would need it in an area like Wyndham anyway. Another thing these Wyndham trucks got was the scales that is located between the grabs and arm. This is to weigh the bins when being lifted and you will also notice the bin tag readers up in the hopper.
Cheers to the friendly driver for allowing me to video his truck. I got a few more Wyndham videos to throw up so look out for those in the future. Apologies for the rain drops getting in the way of the camera. Enjoy!!! :) :) :)

Awesome video as usual, so many bloody bin lid stands in the first clip, they are everywhere! I do like this truck plain white but it would look great with some signage thrown on the side of it. At least it is lid flipping, pretty sure they don't anymore. Great job.

Going to be completely honest, Haven’t watched the full thing yet. It’s very interesting that Wyndham didn’t get the Extend a slide especially with all the new estates. Smaller block sizes and smaller street with cars parked everywhere. There’s a hell of a lot of old Dennis trucks running around in this contract currently too, Makes me think when they put in there tender they sold themselves short ;). This is going to be a good watch. Considering I spend so much time working myself I can’t go and explore the new trucks! However, 90% of the time I get home before these boys finish and my estate ain’t done. They definitely pull some big hours. Great video! 😎

You wouldn't really need the extend a slide in the new estates. Problem is that the people living in the estates are complete retards and don't know how to place their bins out. They are either too close to each other, too far from the kerb, facing wrong way around or even just leave them on the footpath thinking I'm gonna get out and grab them... pfft. But I will agree with cars being parked everywhere. Yeah they haven't had a good start in Wyndham lol judging by the facebook comments I've seen.

@@VictorianGarbo Couldn’t agree more, Bin placement in the new estates is a joke. Would be pressing presentation issue on every house almost. Ill be honest, My streets been missed twice already. But due to driver shortages and drivers doing different runs regularly I’m not suprised. It’s not the worst, it ain’t the greatest but hey, It’s just a bin at the end of the day. Can’t wait to see the shambles when fogo is introduced to the council. Going to be an interesting time 😂

Top work as usual. Find it strange they have scales on the recycling trucks. Do they charge by weight for all three streams or is it more so so they can keep track of how much they is being collected in certain areas? When abouts do you reckon they’ll switch the recycling lids over, fucking annoying job to do with the yellow garbage lids already. Looking forward to seeing the other videos in future…

I bet that some wyndham residents would’ve made complaints about the lids being flipped when the contract started

Nice catch. It’s such a shame they don’t flip lids anymore that was always a good idea so that we know they have been emptied. Also Any chance you could do a video of Mornington peninsula shire? I’d love to see one with solo having taken over from cleanaway a few years ago now.

These trucks are actually not bad after a few rides in them and the comfort is good. Good video though, the area is a shit area disguised as a good place, but it’s fun to watch since the glass comes smashing into the truck. Funny that some councils like Wyndham like to completely ignore the Aus Standards, since those recycle bins are relatively new, although the garbage is slowly becoming red. Good video, enjoyed it but obviously not as good as JJs once was.
