@@wheelerd02 I did the job for over 25 years over 3 different councils. The majority of drivers I worked with always jumped out and helped in cul de sacs and backups. As you said above, the driver wants to get done as much as the loaders. It used to be a great job, not so much now and I'm too old for all that lugging of heavy bins now. I could still drive I guess, but I'm happy with my Dj'ing now. Nice to see a crew with 3 loaders now as well, don't see that very much. Years ago on backdoor collection I was with a driver and 2 other loaders, but the majority of wheely bin rounds now have a driver and 2. From a fellow ex binman respect to you and your crew. Occasionally over the years we did say sometimes to a driver to stay in the cab and just drive so we could load quicker (all brings hometime). But yeah you have a good crew there. Respect.
Not to say all drivers get out equally, some are steering wheel attendents who aren't keen on exercise. I just want the work done as much as anyone else.
Good Job lads and lass I done last year at castle point not as easy as it looks I just deliver and collect dust carts now from all over the UK from basvegas
I did some time at Castle Point too, no wheelie bins everything is handball Canvey Island is interesting to get around with all the parking and narrow avenues
Nice pal, new sub, good on you actually getting out to help, makes loaders jobs so much easier. Not often you see a bin lady either haha! Why does the camera flicker may i ask
Rear view camera flickers due to Go Pro/screen refresh rate incompatibility, or it could be due to shutter speed. Like some videos of helicopters where it looks like the rotors aren't rotating ALSO, on this particular vehicle the whole lot turns off a few times everyday. Sometimes it knocks the camera out or worse, bins get stuck half way up the vehicle. Meaning I have to turn the whole lot on and off again - very frustrating Only vehicle in the yard that does it. I have been advised not to put it through the truck wash as I makes the electrical problems worse
At Chelmsford there was kerbside separation of recyclables (regular contamination due to residents). These would be tipped wither in the yard or at the cardboard/compost facilities. When I tipped a general waste motor it was carted off my artics for incineration.
Are they planning to digitise your not out list etc. We use a system called white space on ipads. Road names from your round are on them, you find house number and tick the exception. IE not out, contaminated and lists the types contamination . I now do a trade round and the only issue with whitespace is it never keeps the round in order. so 100 jobs can be random on it. With round changing every day, with weeklies, fortnightly's and monthly's it can be a ball ache. So i do it mainly by memory and find the jobs to tick off , in batches
@@wheelerd02 It does mean, that the house that claims you missed their bin, is automatically on the computer system for customer service to know bin was not out or contaminated . You can take photos of no access etc as proof on it. There are better software out there,, whitespace is ok and once you get used to it, its quick to use, but it can be problematic at times.. I think the main issue is on trade. On a normal round with road names, it works better
@@JoePeddie I can imagine it does streamline any issue reporting. However, the driver has more than enough going on anyway without a big touch screen gadget to sod about with. Currently; A4 sheet of paper, watching/listening hawkishly for numbers, anything not written down *must* be returned to. Doesn't matter if you can recall exactly what it looked like and if it is a problem every collection, if it isn't written down you're going back.
@@wheelerd02 Iv been in the job 21 years, done both. A majority of the time pen and paper and only the last 5 years digital. Its faster and easier digital, couple of clicks and you are done . Even easier if you are used to gadgets, as i can imagine you are .
Just seen about 10 bin wagons following each other down our expressway half halton council half warrington. Jesus christ must be so behind! I live near a recycling centre so that’s why
If you can't see your loaders, Stop! Agree on a code of signals for all maneuvers. If I'm doubt about reversing GOAL Get Out And Look Don't be pressured by other vehicles, they will have to wait. Crew safety and that of pedestrians os paramount, take your time, no unnecessary risks. Bring plenty of food and drink, never know where you are going to end up. Bring gloves, a spare pair and another pair. No telling what wet messy bits you may come into contact with. Take all vital phone numbers before you leave the yard. Sunglasses! Also anti bac cream and hand moisturiser, does a number on your skin I found in this job. Be safe, let's all get home tonight. If you cannot access a street/collection bins, leave it. It will have to be done another day. No waste is worth smashing up motors or potential injury.
Thank you so much just to thing safety first and don’t put yourself in danger or others and do I have to do load 2 at a time because don’t leave wrong house 🙂
Our crew has a Nickname it's the A team and we all have our own nicknames I'm called fox cus I'm fast and quiet when working the other one is called wolf cus his beard and the other one is called gangster cus he walks like one haha
Team work is key to making the job work. Its good to hear you have nicknames, which lends itself to you all getting along well. Stay safe out there my guy and keep up the good work. 👋
Emptied into a Veolia transfer station into big piles on numbered bays. Then a front loading shovel loads it into walking floor trailer artics for onward travel to landfill
@@adammoorby99 ah understood! It has a crew reporting sheet on the front so I write down any addresses with side waste, no bins out, extra bins, overflowing etc. In doing so when the household reports any issue I can just point to the paper and say we ain't going back
Your rear camera is that no a safety issue mate in my depot we wouldnt be aloud to use a truck with rear camera fault it looks like its not working properly love your vids tho from scotland 👌
It only flickers due to the refresh rate and my GoPro shutter speed not matching Much like some people film helicopters and it looks like the rotors not turning
So easy these days wheeling a few wheelie bins all day, when I was at it in the 70s and 80s that’s what you call proper hard work lifting ash bins black bags proper hard work, no women wanted to do the job then too hard for them that’s why they’re doing it now because it’s a piece of piss) (fact)
Great job driving the truck mate!! Keep it up
I like when you help your loaders , some drivers just sit all day
Doesn't sit right with me to watch and do nothing, I want to go home as much as they do

Positively mind-numbing work old chap! But we don’t go to work for fun now do we! The suspense!
Mind numbing it can be
However music and the company of colleagues make a great deal of difference
@@wheelerd02 we have to make work fun in our own ways. Agreed! Work vs play. Balanced, as all things should be.
Bit of pratting around helps to trust me gardener by trade that can get boring quick so music on dancing like a nob helps lol
I always thought the driver did nothing but drive until i started watching your video’s now i know they actually get stuck in helping out
Not to say all drivers get out equally, some are steering wheel attendents who aren't keen on exercise. I just want the work done as much as anyone else.
@@wheelerd02 i can respect that if i was a driver i’d be put helping if it was safe to do so

👍Cracking video mate 👍keep it up 👍
Does the rubbish go straight to landfill site or does it now go to a transfer station to be sorted

I used to be a loader in my younger year but now I miss it but my health comes first
Health>Wealth
Love your videos 💕😻

No news on in cab technology as yet, solves some problems and introduces others by the sound of it.

Short staffed and overworked
keep it up bro nice work guys keep it up 😀
Thank you
Hi I've just realised that you are no longer, I'm not surprised and it's probably the council stopping it but chin up 🍻
One day at a time my guy
Wait how come you lot dont have tablets to mark off assists or houses
A4 paper and a clipboard, no tablets coming soon
I love your vids
Thank you
I’m starting on Barking and Dagenham one on 12th of July first time any good tips 🤞👍
If you can't see your loaders, Stop!
Agree on a code of signals for all maneuvers.
If I'm doubt about reversing GOAL
Get
Out
And
Look
Don't be pressured by other vehicles, they will have to wait.
Crew safety and that of pedestrians os paramount, take your time, no unnecessary risks.
Bring plenty of food and drink, never know where you are going to end up.
Bring gloves, a spare pair and another pair. No telling what wet messy bits you may come into contact with.
Take all vital phone numbers before you leave the yard.
Sunglasses! Also anti bac cream and hand moisturiser, does a number on your skin I found in this job.

Know you’ll get asked this a lot, but what’s the body cam your using? Loving the work fella 👍🏻

Too right mate 👏
Nice video mate, are you collecting brown bins any time soon?
Go day by day, no set routes
@@wheelerd02 you a spare driver then?
Yes, I am on changeovers and cover rounds as required
were is your banksman?
No banksman, only "reversing assistants" which are the loaders. That is on a request basis as well, they are not obliged to help unless asked
Would have to be a request every time from me. Public can be unpredictable
Want to see the bin lady compacting waste please
She is still there, plugging away
Where does the general waste go?
Emptied into a Veolia transfer station into big piles on numbered bays.
Then a front loading shovel loads it into walking floor trailer artics for onward travel to landfill
why do you cross over ?there is 3 off you stick to same side?
No harm in snaking it m8
Go where the help is needed
Seatbelt usage is very high for u 😂😂😂
No exemptions in this line of work
What’s that clipboard for that you use
A wooden/fibre one they supply as part of the vehicle folder pack, can't imagine they're too expensive
@@wheelerd02 he asked whats it’s for not what it’s made of lol
