My father always would tell me, society is always held up and maintained by the unappreciated and hardest working. Modern society would fall to pieces without people like these men and women, performing an essential job. Its a hard, back breaking job ... hats off to them all!
This, your, statement can fully agree. But on the ladder of important jobs, second only to the workers tasked with cleaning up what's left of our society, are the professional drivers who always do their best to deliver the goods on time
My first observation is that the trash/rubbish isn't separated, the second is that the driver actually gets out of the cab to help ( wow ) never seen that before and I've lived in the UK, Germany and France, well done you guys, respect man.
The rubbish is seperated. All the trucks seen in this video are collecting the normal non recyclable rubbish that‘s collected in black bags as seen and taken to incineration or landfill. New York City has white aswell as blue bags specifically for recycling with one being for all sorts of plastic/glass and tins and one just for paper and cardboard. If you look on the channel and watch the most recent video before this one it shows a DSNY truck on paper/cardboard collection. I assume the reason you don‘t see the recycling sacks in this video is that the video was shot on trash only day. At least in the more dense areas of NYC, regular garbage like the one in this video is collected three or two times a week depending on the area and recycling is done once a week. On top of that in the less dense suburbs of NYC, DSNY offers organic carts for residents in which they can place green waste aswell as food waste which is also collected weekly like the two recycling streams. New York City is in fact quite good at recycling, especially since they collect plastic/glass/tins seperate from the paper/cardboard which ensures keeps the paper/cardboard clean since it’s not contaminated by glass shard for example. They also take all kinds of plastics in the recycling stream which is very rare for the USA. And yes these guys (and women) are quite hard workers, driver has to get out all the time since it‘s only two workers per truck and not three like in the UK or Germany. Edit: ua-cam.com/video/28RF3rafV2s/v-deo.html that‘s the video I was reffering to which shows recycling collection in NYC :)
Hi I am a refuse loader in the UK you all doing great job all of our rubbish (trash) in wheelie bins so a lot easier than you guys have we just hook bins straight on back of truck , lots of respect to you all
Was just thinking that same thing. And all the bin collectors, street cleaners, office cleaners, toilet cleaners and any others I havnt mentioned are the salt of the earth. Without you all the rest of the workforces wouldn't be able to their jobs so hats off to you all. Don't know what you all get paid but it should all be top whack bc it's what you all deserve
Hey Paul I am also a refuse collector in the state of Florida USA and what you see in New York with the trash collection is much different then in other places in US. In NY it is all personal cans while in other places such as at my location it is a mix of personal and wheelie bins but mostly wheelie bins. We also have a dumper on the back that hooks to the can. Many of are trucks are side loaders as well.
Just hard working men buy them a soda or something they deserve alot of credit your service is deeply appreciated thanks don't work to hard love you guys you guys rock ! Joe
The NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) New York’s Strongest always does an unbelievable job. No questions asked. I love it. Nicely Done! Don’t Litter and keep New York City clean. 💯💪👍😊
She’s an old lady likely in her late 50s or early 60s. I applaud her for her efforts. She was moving those bags. Don’t be so fragile as to diss hard working folk.
Honor y gloria a estos hombres aquí en NY.y en todo el mundo... vayan pues la gratitud de este ciudadano del fin del mundo...."en buena hora a ustedes".....
My friend from NYC called them sausage bags. Told me they are from the trash compactor in residential complexes. The garbage chute would empty down into a trash compactor and use those long black bags. Because the trash is compacted, that's why it takes two people to lift one of those bags. Used to be, the trash was incinerated in these buildings but they outlawed that around 1973 in response to the Clear Air Act
Good morning brother nice video since these crew drivers shifting and starting off the rear loaders into a rubbish and recycling area that's how it goes quickly during the morning route
@@trashin.n.smashin they collect it twice a week so it doesn’t have to sit around for long. In each building there is a garbage/recycling room and the caretakers/janitors bring it out
I’m a garbage man and driver down here in Florida and these guys got to start grabbing the axel of the bigger cans and using better lifting form. I’ll start posting videos soon
I agree. I’m surprised they don’t have tippers on their trucks. It’s no wonder that I always hear about the rats in NY, there’s barely any trash cans just all bags to chew through.
@@trashin.n.smashin No room for carts in lot‘s of parts of the city, especially in the very dense areas in Manhattan. No other choice but to use bags. I do wonder why they don‘t have tippers on the trucks for the less dense areas where residents sometimes use carts 🤔 Quite back breaking handballing the toters all the time, especially on garbage.
Ohh yea another DNSY video! I'm surprised how oblivious people are at 11:37 and they still walk in back of the truck when the crew is throwing bags. The McNeilus looked sharp, is that what they are currently buying?
That's the old fashion way, I'm surprised cities still do this. We have a truck that lifts the containers, and in a big complex every has a big dumpster site.
@@twowheelvalle LOL a few? The amout of trash the entire block needs to be no pakring and that kills business. We like the way we pick up. It works perfectly.
Can you tell me why these trash bags have 2 openings? Scroll 0:46 While other bags have the normal shape. I'm from Europe. I was a loader myself for years.
those long "sausage" style bags are used in trash compactors in the basements of larger buildings. Not sure why they have 2 openings. NYC is 20 years behind Europe in waste handling
i do like the way they do not discriminate the rubbish, pallets, poly whatever, it all goes in the back. sort the rubbish at the tip not on the streets we could do with that in UK
I consider the crushers to be designed wrong. Compared to the ones of the trucks in my country (Netherlands), the crusher is always up when stuff is thrown in and only extends down when ordered by buttons at the side. When fully down, it pushes everything to the front, goes up again and moves to the starting position again. These trucks, were stuff is seen to be basically pushed out again as the crushes first has to extend, seem weird to me. Always like the old trucks here btw: all else (wheelie bins) got automated some 6 years ago or so. Now only a driver sits in a truck with a hydraulic arm moved by a joystick taking the bins up into the air and emptying them in the container and placing it back on the kerb. The 'grofvuil' (large dirt/large objects) trucks are the nice ones. Especially when someone gets rid of a lot of wooden furniture or garden stuff, the cracking sounds are great to listen to.
As far as garbage collection is concerned, the USA is 100 years behind Europe, it's a backbreaking job what you do there in Europe, you push the bin to the rear loader and everything is automated
@@trashin.n.smashin they pay the workers through our property taxes so I never get a bill I'll take it cause it feels free when your not seeing a bill like I use to with republic services plus my mortgage escrow property taxes in the payments so I never really see anything property taxes pay everything metro in Nashville including teachers and police officers and other metro workers like our metro trash through public works I know nothings free but technically its almost like its free cause you never see a bill for it like you would with Republic services or waste management so thats a bill I really never have to worry about the only way I would lose trash pickup is if I lose my house from not paying my mortgage lol
So they still do this way here, even after after all of these years, meaning that they dont have those Special garbage can that they can actually wheel over the to the trucks, and after attaching them to a special thing ton the back of the truck, they just use a level and the truck actually dumps all of the garbage from those cans and into the back of the truck.....
Is anybody who is watching this video is from New York City can you tell me why some of the trash bags look like body bags is a certain way you pack the trash that way.
So in the last two workers in this video, the black lady and white dude, I noticed a HUGE difference in work ethic. The white dude threw 24 bags while the black lady mostly stood around and did NOTHING, she threw 5 bags. Didn't count the ones they threw together. Dude even did the driving. And this she knew she was on camera. Could you imagine how really lazy she is?
Nice video, so the crews were cool with you filming? I’ve only recorded a few times in NYC and some clips were from the balcony of my cousins apartment near Central Park but I thought there was a policy that the department didn’t want people filming them.
@@trashmonster26 Same here (Netherlands). But publicising the footage you take is a totally different story and prohibited most of the time. But that's the GDPR law coming into play at that point, you don't have that in the USA (Although I believe they have to adhere to that as well for every video, as they can't keep a video from the USA being watched only from within the USA)
@@weeardguy fortunately for me, the 4th amendment of the constitution is very clear on this: there is no expectation of privacy in public. as long as I stand on public streets no one can ask me to stop, I just like to respect the driver’s wishes out of courtesy
@@trashmonster26 Yes and as I told you that's the same in my country: stand on a public road and there's hardly any law that prohibits you from taking pictures or video of people in 'recognizable fashion'. But publicising the footage you took is where the GDPR comes into play and usually, it's pretty clear: it's prohibited unless it's a press/journalism item (which I find a sketchy term these days), or when not publicising could cause great harm to the general public. Of course, people will usually get away with videos of people and throwing those videos on the internet as neither is a problem, but they can rightfully protest those actions. I salute you on respecting their wishes, because it's something I usually do as well (not that I ever filmed refuse lorries though ;) ), but if a member of the public comes up to me with complaints, I will usually explain what I'm doing and that they won't have to worry.

Good to know…that area is interesting because you can find trucks in any walking distance six days a week.
ALL THEM BODY BAGS LMAO
How do they know there’s no bodies in those long bags?
the smell will give it away as rotting flesh smells alot or if it that they smell iron as blood gives off an iron smell
Because it very likely would have leaked blood/decomposing corpse juice EVERYWHERE upon being compacted
Fun video !!

Is there a lip or something or some mechanism that pushes the trash further back? Or is it just forced back by all the trash piling up ?
I consider the crushers to be designed wrong.
