- Well here we are, It's been a long wait, but I'm very pleased to be uploading another video of everyone's favorite.. the Glass Recycling!!
We're 6 Months into 2024 and this is my first time filming the purple lids this year, this is mostly due to me either not being able to find the truck, or the driver wouldn't be a fan of filming.
Citywide has recently been battling with a shortage of drivers & trucks, and you may remember the last time this happened a few months ago, when I filmed this truck on the Missed 4pm Recycle collections.. ironically it was in the same area as this.. these residents must think their collections are Thursday now haha.
I had an early finish on Thursday, so at around 2pm, I headed out to the Wednesday area, after hearing about the delays with the glass bin collections, and having gone for a walk in the same area the day prior, I knew there would be a truck collecting somewhere. Around 2.30 I found Liam in #11485 handling the purple lids. It was a hard chase, with not too many bins out, but the large area and long streets made it a tedious collection process. The final bin was picked up around 3pm.
This is my first decent video of #11485 on glass, the last time I filmed it on glass was last year with the old perm glass driver, Brad. I'm happy to say I have some more footage of this truck on glass, that footage will be in backlog and will be uploaded in the future, as it's unlikely I'll be able to film the glass collections for a while due to the above reasons.
As always, Thanks to Liam for letting me film, and also to one of my subscribers who came out, helping move some bins around.
Enjoy.
Apologies about the 2 clips that doubled up. No idea why that’s happened.
Well, it is recycling after all 😅😅
Bloody awesome mate! Love the glass collections. Good looking truck as well, pretty clean little workhorse (or not so little haha). Still find it funny how the 29ms go out on glass, but I guess if Citywide is battling resource shortages thats fair enough.
Cheers mate!
Thanks mate,
Glad you enjoyed. Yeah glass is the best, been awesome the last week with great driver doing it. (Should be getting more footage next week) This truck is mostly full time glass, it actually doesn’t really matter the body size, as drivers are advised to do a max of around 460 bins per load, which equals to about 10 tonnes. I’d say they normally do 1-2 loads a day depending on the area. Haha, this ones kept pretty clean.. apart from that shit on the hopper, Even if everyone is at work there still at least 1 driver short, makes for some interesting collections tho.
Thanks for the comment.
The sounds of shattering glass have always been my ultimate recycling symphony, and you have provided a first glass performance. So good that one video clip recycled itself 😅 (probably thought it was a short). Great video, Dave. Well done 👏 👍
Thanks John!
Glad you enjoyed,
Yeah glass is my favourite and I had a great time the last few days, got some good videos, and I’m going to try get some more next week, haha I must have messed something up in the editing process and didn’t notice until it was uploaded and too late.
Thanks for the comment.
@Merri-bekGarbo you're very welcome Dave 👍
Nearly at 1000 subs!
Yeah, hoping I get there soon, thanks for the comment!
Awesome video mate, very good driver behind the wheel taking his time
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed, yeah great driver this bloke. Glass run is good as not everyone puts their bin out and you can generally take your time and alter the way the run is done
Amazing video 😊
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed
Great video Dave I really enjoyed this one,Keep it up!
Thanks Mate!
Glad you enjoyed it. I was really happy to be able to film the glass again, He should be on it next week I'd say.
I really wanted to see this acco on class
Yeah I’m really happy to finally have a decent video of it on glass.
He didn't pick it up with the lid open. So he needs to make sure they close when he sits it down, now if it rains trash can is full of water, it's about the way he is bringing it back down, it doesn't have to be that way and it would be closed
if you're biggest issue is the lids been left open then your life must be pretty fucking sweet...
why do some bins have like a sticker stuck to the lid
@@Thedogs69420 the tags on the handles where placed on the bins when rolled out last year, they explained what the new bins was for, most have either been taken off by residents or have fallen off due to rain and other reasons.
@@Merri-bekGarbo can you make more glass collections
@@Thedogs69420 yes, I have a few more glass videos coming out soon
