Garbage Truck with Surprise

Posted August 18, 2008 10:50 AM

From Random Good Stuff:

I didn't expect that at all. I wish all trash cans would be designed like that - less stinky too!

Very, very cool. However, it would take hours just to get all the trash on our street if they had to stop at each house and do that.

Trash men here can hit 3 to 4 homes in the time it takes to empty one bucket.

Yeh and it would take a while to separate the little kids out of the rubbish where their big brothers had shoved 'em in there .

What's so strange about this? It's just a normal top loading garbage truck.

I agree DVader1000-whats so special about this truck? (I do like the idea of a below ground container but i can see it filling up with water when it rains!) Mix garbage with water, stinks results! James

The idiot left the two wheelie bins, without emptying the festering rubbish in both.

What sort of Garbage truck operator is that?

Kind Regards....

Build a better garbage truck, and the world will beat a path to your landfill...
