Love the positive attitude towards the job. It’s a shame in the Stone Age we don’t seem to see enough of this. Thank you for giving us more insight towards your job keep up the good work much appreciated amongst the community.
This was recommended to me by UA-cam, first time seeing your videos! Nice to see a positive attitude to this line of work! I deliver for a local supermarket, so I know the frustration other road users can bring. Very fascinating watching you going about your business though! Thanks to you and all your fellow bin men across the country for keeping our neighbourhoods clean and free of crap. Definitely subscribing! 👌
Gotta love UA-cam and its random recommendations. Much respect to you and your fellow workers and the way you have to manoeuvre around badly parked cars. I have a bad enough time in my Sainsburys van having to squeeze through gaps. People don't think that bigger vehicles have to be on narrow roads too.
My brother is a bin lorry driver in Edinburgh, he likes the job, 4 on 4 off, decent, he has told me so many stories about his working life, very interesting job, he came from a catering background, he wished he had taken the job a lot earlier in his life, I have watched bin lorry videos from all over the world, i find them fascinating.
I imagine he is on trade/business waste with a rotating 4 on/4 off work pattern. I will take the praise of "finding them fascinating" if you include me and my videos within that remit
19 years myself doing this! hade a Mercedes triple and nice to see one still going. could never get as much weight on as for the extra rams. no banksman would drop us in the shit here in bradford. thankless job most of the time but some local nice people on the round make are day.
I work as a bin man in Inverclyde Greenock. I’d have this driver anyway seems a great bloke and helps the crew hope you all get good tips at Christmas. Work hard for them
Just came across your videos yesterday . And I've watched 5 already. I love the drive commentary, also explaing the way you drive like bumping the kerb and taking angles wide due to other road users bad parking. Please keep it up
My great uncle had worked on the bins for years and did the round to my mum and dads house and remember always him and the crew having a beer at our house at one point I got to take empty bins back to some houses being young everything seemed an adventure, it still brings back good memories, bet all bin man now are glad they don't have to use the old galvanized bins.
Love the fact the younger guy of the 2 walkers doesn't care what he says to people doing stupid things😂 another top notch video, i never used to speak to people emptying the bins, not out of rudeness or anything, just because they looked busy i didn't want to disturb, but from now on i'll certainly greet them, doing a very under appreciated job. Real eye opening videos keep up the good work!
Thank you Dylan Busy yes but I'll certainly reciprocate a Hello if I am not the one instigating We all should be saying Hello to each other, less phones, more conversation
great video mate, just a short note to say the work you refuse collection guys are great- it’s easy to moan but the guys coming down our street in these tough times have been cheery and engaging and, well just nice. I have to also say they normally are The guys I saw, were still getting their job done despite cars being parked all over the pavements and in front of the bin bays. They got the bulk bin back up when they couldn’t use the lip on the pavement due to parked cars. Really wish something was done for all these folks still out there and doing these things for us. Please pass on my thanks to them all and tell them they are very, very much appreciated, the work you guys do is amazing, you keep us safe in these times, and you don't deserve to deal with assholes like that on the roads as a daily mate, i love the vids my dad was a bin man too, always been interested, on the mechanical side of things lol im a mechanical engineer by trade but love anything hydraulic wise lol :) stay safe bro. love the content im officially hooked to the channel

Also learned something new in that here in the UK we can add extra bags to the recycle bins. Didn't know that, kept it over in the garage for the next week.
Thank you for watching. Do check with your local council but extra recycling, our lot have no issue but do check. Personally I am all for increased recycling and reduced landfill waste
Am starting this job on Wednesday is not what I wanted, after spending £3.132 on a full cat c license but I guess we don’t always get what we want in life. Thank you for showing us all this information.

Mate, I have been watching and it has been refreshing to watch a fellow steering wheel attendant say it as it is - took my mind off loads of crap. Put a smile on face. Nice
I went on take out return in 2016 to get my bins collected but half the time they were getting missed. I got so fed up I got my local councillor involved now they don’t get missed at all so I’m happy Mate. 👍
33 years driving these...now only work 2 days a week driving it..although on Trade Waste now. Originally in 1989 had 4 loaders on black bags then eventually went down to 2 loaders on wheelie bins. Driving a merc 70/30 split like at the moment but with the Zoller? lifts, can't beat the Terbergs though. Got to have the patience of a saint I've realised over the years or you could quite literally fall out with someone every half hour.
Love the vids, im in the same business driving waste trucks and i love how diffrent countrys use diffrent methots to collect waste. Would love a chat with you, keep the good work mate!
Many others have said otherwise "These bins are on the vehicle when we arrive in the morning, 3×360l Green bins raised fully on the lift into the hopper. The loaders walk around emptying paper sacks into the bin and hang plastic waste on the screws around the rim. This is done to keep the work flowing and reduces the frequency of bin tipping. If we didn't hang the plastic recycling sacks on the side, every sack would need to be thrown into the back before moving onto the next house. This procedure is sanctioned and acted upon by instruction, by no means does the general waste get collected in this manner."

@@noooo_safechat2589 Waste management s extrememly dfferent among all 50 states. Every cities collection varies. It's so complicated that i don't know everything. A lot of private companies plus public. This COVID thing is not helping whatsoever with workers getting sick everyday and the garbage is everywhere.
Loving your videos. Cannot wait to see you on food waste and glass/can collections. I find the conversation insightful and interesting. Keep up the good work. :-)
Had a few years on the trucks, always made harder when you spend most of the time thinking for everyone else around you, even worse now cos of the hood up headphone in mentality. Keep it the good work mate.
At the beginning, when the door is being opened, at around 00:05 - 00:06 ish, u can faintly see the reflection in the glass of someone carrying the camera towards it. Theres even a tiny rectangle of light which i think is from the camera lol.
My grandad use to be a dust man for a company down In west sussex and he has been doing it for years and before that he was in the fire bridge but on the dust and he was on the garden bins he loved the job like you guys and he has so many good mates on there as well
There is a good and varied bunch of characters on the bins Fire Brigade is a very hazardous job I imagine but truly a live saving profession. I always try to nod or wave whenever I see an "appliance"
I always give the bin men £20 at Xmas. I once worked for Biffa and I know only to well what they go through. Cars parked in ridiculous places and why do some have drives to park on but don't? I admire these guys and many never even think about the work these men have to do. Having said that I have seen on the odd occasion some women doing this job as well and just as good. Well done ladies proving true Equality there. Admiration from me all the time you guys. Take Care all of you.👍
Good to see how your trucks work I live in Australia our trucks are a single side loader hydrologic powered only requires the driver picks the bin with a hydrologic arm controlled by a joy stick in the cab and my council operates 1 Dennis Eagle truck
New to the channel, only watched 8 minutes of it and I'm loving it, very insightful. Didn't think id be so intrigued into driving a bin wagon to be fair. You've gained a subscriber
Am i right in thinking those green bin with the screws around the top are something you guys have come up with to round up all the bags and the cardboard in one go?
The Chelmsford refuse philosopher, big thumbs up, found you by accident, love your sunny warm attitude, you guys do a great job, it looks reasonably cushy on a nice day, but, how many would want your job in a thunder storm or heavy rain? Fabulous video, all the best to you and yours, thanks for the video.
With the buzzing while u reversing our problem in our truck is the lifts won't go up when reversing straight away so if u put it back into neutral then in reverse again before u move the lifts should go up that should stop the buzzing
@@wheelerd02 watched the rest and can conclude another excellent video mate well in, love the dog at the end too. maybe that 15plate is due to be replaced end of this year or next with typical 7-8 year life expectacy?
Loved the video! I think your reversing noise issue could possibly be because the lifts are on travel mode (someone's pressed the black button at the top of the button panel), so the truck thinks you’ve forgotten about the bins attached to them. If the lifts are on auto or even just being manually buttoned up and down like they were yesterday it should ideally solve the problem mate, hope that helps 👍
One more comment from me. According to Fife Council you can recycle ♻️ plastic bag’s when I don’t know if you can to be honest. So if the beautiful Oceans 🌊 get clogged up with plastic bags blame Fife Council . Plus they want us to put the empty juice cartons out to the plastics greenbin because they have a bit of plastic in the carton Same with Amazon boxes 📦 which I put in either bin greenbin for plastics & tin’s while the the black bins you put your paper & cardboard in Mate. 👍
@@rossmcgarrie9787 Tetra Pak is 99% paper it's ridicilus that they tell you to put them with plastics 😅😅😅🤣🤣 where i live they accept them in Paper and amazone boxes have 0% plastic do they count the printing as plastic or something ? 🤣🤣🤣😅😅
@@recycleman975 I agree with you as I also think it’s ridiculous as none of us could figure out why they wanted us to put empty juice cartons out to plastics/tins green bin’s.
Been a bin man for over 23 years one of my big bug bearers is when you’re reversing into a cul-de-sac everyone wants to come out just as you’re getting near the top
I think every bin man can relate to that with people parking on or too close to junctions. I remember one particular road where the residents hadn’t had their general bins emptied in over a month because of the same van and car being left blocking the end of a junction on the other side of the road, the only way to get to the bins was to reverse all the way down a very long alleyway and said vehicles made that reverse swing impossible. I remember inadvertently wasting a few bins when we finally got down there as they were so heavy that two fell in the hopper and one split in half hitting the top bar.
@@wheelerd02 I remember one time where we had to drag all the bins from a difficult alleyway due to this and one of the bins split like that, it was on the lifter right next to the offending car as well, showering it with horrible, foul smelling bin juices. I couldn’t stop laughing, poetic justice!
You should get someone to change those screws on top of the green bin for dowels so the bags slide off easier when you remove them. Will make unloading smoother and not as harsh on the wrists.
Found your channel via the pov binman videos... having gone through your older stuff I noticed a video or two on RAF bentwaters.. and also a partical CRX... without ringing peoples personal privacy I think we know common peoples XD small world! Keep up the vids good sir... oddly relaxing watching these POV's
I'm an APC delivery driver I should add, been thinking about driving the big boys for a few years now but never committed to it.. might just go for it!
Your commentary is ace fella, I'm a key worker like yourself and feel your transferable pain. 🤭👀 Keep up the the good work mate, binmen need hugs too. 🤘new to channel....
You have full control of the vehicle and a positive attitude despite others ignorance and the inconvenience they cause you. Could you please drop into Bolton Council and show them how it's done 🤣
Sorry mate, but you're wrong.... it's now 2.5k subscribers 🤣 Not surprised as your commentary and insight into a job that a lot of people don't even think about is great. Keep up the great work, safe driving and excellent vlogs. Greetings from Spain 🍷
What sort of accidents have you seen caused by cars overtaking your vehicle too quickly? Also, thank you not just for doing what you do, but doing so cheerfully and with a positive attitude!
No collisions thankfully but severe near misses, I've had people overtake me on zebra crossing *with pedestrians crossing* as I have waited. As soon as a bus or truck is stationary, even in road works, people take it as an invitation to charge past.
Bins are not like this near me in Liverpool. They have to be left out with no bags anywhere. If we hang a bag on the wheelie bin they wont even take them. If the bins are slightly in your drive they wont take them.
Interesting the bin placement is an issue, we _ask_ they are kerbside but that has a wide interpretation throughout our working area. Anything beyond a meter or so within property is deemed "not out" in our eyes. If we damage anything or injure ourselves _apparently_ company insurance won't cover you as it is private property
Council instruction to recycling staff to use 360l bins to "hook plastic sacks on before returning to the truck. Saves on having to tip the bin outside every property
Hooked to your videos mate. Excellent driving. My dads class 1 and it looks hard but this weaving through streets looks like a nightmare! Keep it up :)
Mate! You need more staff. And your punters(haha) need more tubs. Raise the bin fully on manual before you reverse then its clamped and the noise might go off too.
This is so weird to me. I’m used to Australia where the driver never gets out of the truck. An arm just comes out to grab the bin it empty’s and puts it back drives off to the next one
We use 21 plate Dennis Eagle Elite's (Rear Steer, 26 tonners) in Dumfries & Galloway, but they're dual lifter not a triple, and every single house has bins, no bags, bi weekly general, monthly Cardboard&Paper, monthly plastics. (General Week 1 / CB Week 2 / General Week 3 / Plastic Week 4) Lads are basically out walking every single bin, Drivers usually just stay in their seat since the lorry is only moving forward 15-20 feet every 30 seconds lol, Unless we're in a bigger dead end cul-de-sac and the folk are kind enough to pile all the bins up there, gives the driver a chance to get out and help and stretch their legs, it's very monotonous sitting there all day watching the camera to make sure everything is okay to move forward again. 34 M, Driving RCV's for 2 years, loaded them for about 8 years before that. Illegally parked cars are literally the bane of our job, making it way more difficult than it should be.
Thanks for watching 👋 🏴 Couldn't agree more with what you said my guy. As shown in my videos I am very hands on and helped the loaders whenever practical. Bins, bags & boxes down in Chelmsford. Double lift black bin motors, dual lift recycling, side lift glass & cans. 33 M.
Love the positive attitude towards the job. It’s a shame in the Stone Age we don’t seem to see enough of this. Thank you for giving us more insight towards your job keep up the good work much appreciated amongst the community.

That bin idea with the screws is a revolution
Many others have said otherwise
"These bins are on the vehicle when we arrive in the morning, 3×360l Green bins raised fully on the lift into the hopper.
The loaders walk around emptying paper sacks into the bin and hang plastic waste on the screws around the rim. This is done to keep the work flowing and reduces the frequency of bin tipping.
If we didn't hang the plastic recycling sacks on the side, every sack would need to be thrown into the back before moving onto the next house.
This procedure is sanctioned and acted upon by instruction, by no means does the general waste get collected in this manner."

Had a few years on the trucks, always made harder when you spend most of the time thinking for everyone else around you, even worse now cos of the hood up headphone in mentality. Keep it the good work mate.
Thank you for watching
At the beginning, when the door is being opened, at around 00:05 - 00:06 ish, u can faintly see the reflection in the glass of someone carrying the camera towards it. Theres even a tiny rectangle of light which i think is from the camera lol.
GoPro was held on using a head strap arrangement. The little red light blinks to show it is recording
keeping our country going and people forget that. keep up the good work lad very well done. and a big finger to those that look down on ya
Thank you kindly, your gratitude and wishes are appreciated
My grandad use to be a dust man for a company down In west sussex and he has been doing it for years and before that he was in the fire bridge but on the dust and he was on the garden bins he loved the job like you guys and he has so many good mates on there as well
There is a good and varied bunch of characters on the bins
Fire Brigade is a very hazardous job I imagine but truly a live saving profession. I always try to nod or wave whenever I see an "appliance"
@@wheelerd02 yes it is that kind if job tbh and and I normally do when I see the fireman out on there 11ds
I always give the bin men £20 at Xmas. I once worked for Biffa and I know only to well what they go through. Cars parked in ridiculous places and why do some have drives to park on but don't? I admire these guys and many never even think about the work these men have to do. Having said that I have seen on the odd occasion some women doing this job as well and just as good. Well done ladies proving true Equality there. Admiration from me all the time you guys. Take Care all of you.👍
Generous Christmas gift
Thank you for watching and sharing your experiences
Your voice and way of talking reminds me of Russell Kane a bit. Also nice to see you picking up the random bits that fall out I don't think all do.
Another great video buddy. Keep up the good work in Chelmsford. Keep safe and keep smiling
Thank you
Less than 2 mins in and you’ve smashed it I love the video already.. definitely subscribing for more of this!!!
Good to see how your trucks work I live in Australia our trucks are a single side loader hydrologic powered only requires the driver picks the bin with a hydrologic arm controlled by a joy stick in the cab and my council operates 1 Dennis Eagle truck
First time I have seen one of your vids , who'd of thought being a binman could be so interesting lol top job mate !
Thank you for watching
New to the channel, only watched 8 minutes of it and I'm loving it, very insightful. Didn't think id be so intrigued into driving a bin wagon to be fair. You've gained a subscriber
Am i right in thinking those green bin with the screws around the top are something you guys have come up with to round up all the bags and the cardboard in one go?
Paper and plastic indeed, but yes, so they can load up more emptying
Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed
Don't have a clue how you came up as a recommendation but I'm liking it and I had a good laugh 😂
Glad you enjoyed and thank you for watching
The Chelmsford refuse philosopher, big thumbs up, found you by accident, love your sunny warm attitude, you guys do a great job, it looks reasonably cushy on a nice day, but, how many would want your job in a thunder storm or heavy rain? Fabulous video, all the best to you and yours, thanks for the video.
Thank you for the kind words and your viewing.
Rain and wind make it decidedly unpleasant proposition. On nice days life is well, one bin at a time.
With the buzzing while u reversing our problem in our truck is the lifts won't go up when reversing straight away so if u put it back into neutral then in reverse again before u move the lifts should go up that should stop the buzzing
This was the only vehicle out of 15+ I drove that did it
You guys are so fucking under appreciated it's criminal.
Thank you for the appreciation, to waste collectors everywhere
I did over 100 miles driving mine everyday last week. I do the same job n south Devon, you lot look mikes ahead of us!
I imagine the views in your area are prettier....and narrower
i enjoyed the VID but i didn't know it was illegal to park on a T junction as the Taxi did
Highway Code, no parking with 10m of a junction unless marked bays
@@wheelerd02 , thanks for the reply
what an opening 15 mins 😂scaffold, bus, car, hideous alarm sound and lurcher dog ♥
This is par for course in my experience
@@wheelerd02 watched the rest and can conclude another excellent video mate well in, love the dog at the end too. maybe that 15plate is due to be replaced end of this year or next with typical 7-8 year life expectacy?
@@nostrolander9881 glad you enjoyed
Another great video. I found these videos and I am hooked. Thank you for doing you job
Thank you
Loved the video! I think your reversing noise issue could possibly be because the lifts are on travel mode (someone's pressed the black button at the top of the button panel), so the truck thinks you’ve forgotten about the bins attached to them. If the lifts are on auto or even just being manually buttoned up and down like they were yesterday it should ideally solve the problem mate, hope that helps 👍
Buttons, engine on and off, no improvement
No other lorry offers this many problems
Hell great da free video love real nice
One more comment from me. According to Fife Council you can recycle ♻️ plastic bag’s when I don’t know if you can to be honest. So if the beautiful Oceans 🌊 get clogged up with plastic bags blame Fife Council . Plus they want us to put the empty juice cartons out to the plastics greenbin because they have a bit of plastic in the carton Same with Amazon boxes 📦 which I put in either bin greenbin for plastics & tin’s while the the black bins you put your paper & cardboard in Mate. 👍
@@rossmcgarrie9787 Tetra Pak is 99% paper it's ridicilus that they tell you to put them with plastics 😅😅😅🤣🤣 where i live they accept them in Paper and amazone boxes have 0% plastic do they count the printing as plastic or something ? 🤣🤣🤣😅😅
@@recycleman975 I agree with you as I also think it’s ridiculous as none of us could figure out why they wanted us to put empty juice cartons out to plastics/tins green bin’s.
Respect to the guys who keep us from being literally up to our necks in rubbish.
Thank you, they do a good job and put a great deal of physical effort in each day
Just asking how often are recycable collected ? Is it a daily collection or a twice or thrice week collection
Once fortnightly, alternating week collections.
Card & Glass
Plastic & Paper
Been a bin man for over 23 years one of my big bug bearers is when you’re reversing into a cul-de-sac everyone wants to come out just as you’re getting near the top
A common occurrence
Big, white,noisy with many lights but now is the time to reverse out the driveway and near miss my loaders
Keep well man 👍
First time on your channel to... Just in the midst of doing my HGV full licence... Subbed 👍🇬🇧
Welcome aboard, best of luck on your training
I think every bin man can relate to that with people parking on or too close to junctions. I remember one particular road where the residents hadn’t had their general bins emptied in over a month because of the same van and car being left blocking the end of a junction on the other side of the road, the only way to get to the bins was to reverse all the way down a very long alleyway and said vehicles made that reverse swing impossible. I remember inadvertently wasting a few bins when we finally got down there as they were so heavy that two fell in the hopper and one split in half hitting the top bar.
Things I remember all too well
@@wheelerd02 I remember one time where we had to drag all the bins from a difficult alleyway due to this and one of the bins split like that, it was on the lifter right next to the offending car as well, showering it with horrible, foul smelling bin juices. I couldn’t stop laughing, poetic justice!
@@Chicken-x6q6d swift & merciless, I like it
You should get someone to change those screws on top of the green bin for dowels so the bags slide off easier when you remove them. Will make unloading smoother and not as harsh on the wrists.
Found your channel via the pov binman videos... having gone through your older stuff I noticed a video or two on RAF bentwaters.. and also a partical CRX... without ringing peoples personal privacy I think we know common peoples XD small world! Keep up the vids good sir... oddly relaxing watching these POV's
I'm an APC delivery driver I should add, been thinking about driving the big boys for a few years now but never committed to it.. might just go for it!
The world indeed can be a very small place
Thank you for the compliments and keep it safe buddy
Look into it man, might be your kinda bag
Sick video man, good insight into what you do! Great quality of the video too.
Thank you
I’m sat here watching a Bin man dude his job! Love your personality mate keep up the hard graft
Thank you my guy, keep it good out there
just come on to say hello to u guys before going back to work take care & stay safe bro
Great Vid mate enjoying watching it. Appreciate it the. Video u doing
That was fascinating. Found you by chance. You have a wonderful work ethic. 😎
Thank you
Always a good day when you upload :D
Too kind
Your commentary is ace fella, I'm a key worker like yourself and feel your transferable pain. 🤭👀 Keep up the the good work mate, binmen need hugs too. 🤘new to channel....
Thanks for watching
Just found this channel today I have to day you guys are good my local bin men won't do half of what you guys do they are very very fussy
We do what we can
You have full control of the vehicle and a positive attitude despite others ignorance and the inconvenience they cause you.
Could you please drop into Bolton Council and show them how it's done 🤣
Too kind really
I can do a tour of all the UK if suitably funded, fed and housed
Sorry mate, but you're wrong.... it's now 2.5k subscribers 🤣 Not surprised as your commentary and insight into a job that a lot of people don't even think about is great. Keep up the great work, safe driving and excellent vlogs. Greetings from Spain 🍷
Hello to all in Spain
Thank you for watching
Now 2.6k
What sort of accidents have you seen caused by cars overtaking your vehicle too quickly? Also, thank you not just for doing what you do, but doing so cheerfully and with a positive attitude!
No collisions thankfully but severe near misses, I've had people overtake me on zebra crossing *with pedestrians crossing* as I have waited.
As soon as a bus or truck is stationary, even in road works, people take it as an invitation to charge past.
Bins are not like this near me in Liverpool. They have to be left out with no bags anywhere. If we hang a bag on the wheelie bin they wont even take them. If the bins are slightly in your drive they wont take them.
Interesting the bin placement is an issue, we _ask_ they are kerbside but that has a wide interpretation throughout our working area.
Anything beyond a meter or so within property is deemed "not out" in our eyes. If we damage anything or injure ourselves _apparently_ company insurance won't cover you as it is private property
that's a great idea to attach bags to the green bin lol I never thought that you would be allowed to do that though for some strange reason
Council instruction to recycling staff to use 360l bins to "hook plastic sacks on before returning to the truck. Saves on having to tip the bin outside every property
Hooked to your videos mate. Excellent driving. My dads class 1 and it looks hard but this weaving through streets looks like a nightmare! Keep it up :)
Thank you
I do what I can to get the job done
You got me from the into. Squarespace :) :)
Russell Kane doing the bins!! Haha good job man 💪✌️
Thank you
Love your videos, loaded myself and it's interesting watching how differently you do it to my end, I have soo many questions
Thank you, fire away
Mate! You need more staff. And your punters(haha) need more tubs. Raise the bin fully on manual before you reverse then its clamped and the noise might go off too.
That vehicle would do it whatever the lift situation. No others in fleet do it as often.
More staff? No kidding
This is better than anything the BBC could produce!
Far too kind thank you ❤️
This is so weird to me. I’m used to Australia where the driver never gets out of the truck. An arm just comes out to grab the bin it empty’s and puts it back drives off to the next one
Would be simpler but our streets aren't laid out in a convenient manner, plus with on street/pavement parking it would never work
18:12 I know it’s annoying and also good job. I’ve got a greyhound named Fraser.
Good dogs, we miss King immensely. He made a big impact on our lives and will always be remembered fondly.
We use 21 plate Dennis Eagle Elite's (Rear Steer, 26 tonners) in Dumfries & Galloway, but they're dual lifter not a triple, and every single house has bins, no bags, bi weekly general, monthly Cardboard&Paper, monthly plastics. (General Week 1 / CB Week 2 / General Week 3 / Plastic Week 4)
Lads are basically out walking every single bin, Drivers usually just stay in their seat since the lorry is only moving forward 15-20 feet every 30 seconds lol, Unless we're in a bigger dead end cul-de-sac and the folk are kind enough to pile all the bins up there, gives the driver a chance to get out and help and stretch their legs, it's very monotonous sitting there all day watching the camera to make sure everything is okay to move forward again.
34 M, Driving RCV's for 2 years, loaded them for about 8 years before that.
Illegally parked cars are literally the bane of our job, making it way more difficult than it should be.
Thanks for watching 👋 🏴
Couldn't agree more with what you said my guy. As shown in my videos I am very hands on and helped the loaders whenever practical.
Bins, bags & boxes down in Chelmsford. Double lift black bin motors, dual lift recycling, side lift glass & cans.
33 M.
My bin men get a drink every week with a chocolate bar great video’s keep up great work
Very generous of you, thank you for watching
