Paying for a hydraulic system (and not maintaining it and having it torch an entire truck) is still cheaper than paying for pensions and medical bills for the hosed up backs of the guys who would have to ride on the back and toss the bins. By a significant margin.

Growing up, the garbage men would actually go drag your garbage cans from the side of the house to their trucks, dump them in, then put them back. Made a hell of a noise at 5am next to my bedroom window (oldschool metal garbage pails).

My parents still bitch about having to put their garbage out at the curb, and REALLY bitch when code enforcement leaves a nastygram for leaving the bins out at the curb every day instead of the designated days. :corsair:

That guy did an impressive jump. I wanna know how far the truck rolled after though. Assuming it was a dual control truck, anyway, and that he was both the driver and operator.

e: found the video with audio, better quality. I never knew there were people who had a fetish for garbage trucks. :iiam: Guy who posted it says the guy was uninjured.

DO YOU HEAR THAT? THAT'S THE SOUND OF ME PATTING MYSELF ON THE BACK.


I mean, it's pretty obvious it's a retrofit vs purpose-built.

After I moved into my house, our township switched from one garbage company to another. With that came mechanized pickup so everyone got issued the bins that can be used with the arms and the trucks were like the one above. Then years later the township switched back to the original waste company and now we have the ones with the front bin.

The front bin allows a normal dumpster loading truck to do mechanized pickup of the wheeled bins.

The retrofits seem to be a ton worse about littering on garbage day. I noticed immediately after we moved to mechanized pickup how much less trash was floating around the neighborhood after garbage day, but once we switched back to the original company, that was using the retrofitted trucks, there's a lot more litter after pickup. Stuff is more prone to blow out of the bin before they dump it into the truck.

Being that I was right next to her, I recognized the branding and the distinct pull with the suppressed cough.

But also, most nicotine vapes aren't made to be that kind of form factor, at least in my experience.

Doesn't matter really, it's just one of those things I really noticed because of the cops reaction.

I'm in Oslo, Norway - the previous conservative government moved to have a private company collect garbage, and it went off the rails quickly: Not enough people, not enough trucks, illegal contracts, the lot. The incoming liberal governent eventually gave up on having the company sort things out, and moved it back to a county service with county employees. Probably the single largest political mess here for decades; garbage collection is Serious Business.
A related tale with more mechanical failure, kind of: A couple of decamiles south, in 2016, there was a bit of a debacle after new contractors (the same idiots as above, actually, around the same time) for the local county recycling operation had neglected to think of such things as road classifications and truck weight, and thus were required to do something about it or be fined, get sued, all that, because their trucks were grossly overweight and seriously wrecked havoc on smaller local roads. Instead of aquiring smaller trucks (an expensive option) they chose to literally cut out a few cm of the middle of the trucks and weld them back together, thus removing both laden and unladen mass.

e: Well the company that took over the contract and trucks after the idiots went bankrupt had to do it

Now with less breakage.

Norwegian 10km miles or US 1.6km miles?

Also, that's one step sillier than I'd expected from them; I was imagining something more like "sell their existing trucks for far too little to Ukraine because the bosses wife knows someone, then somehow get the county to lend them money at no interest to buy new ones, then declare bankruptcy but somehow transfer the new valuable trucks to a new company first".

The police here in Australia announced they weren't going to do breath testing stations anymore, and then went "uhh, but, umm, we totally trust Australian drivers to be responsible and not take advantage of this", demonstrating they know nothing about Australian drivers.

I think the cost of getting drunk in Australia should be a good enough deterrent against drunk driving.

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.
