Video of the Week!

Can you believe it? Another week has already come and gone, and it's time once again for the video of the week!

This week's video highlights a Wittke Starlight front end loader on a Freightliner Condor cab and chassis, powering through a very wet and windy garbage day in Bremerton, WA. As you can see, this particular truck has been outfitted with a "carry can" and cart tipper, allowing this front load truck to collect smaller residential containers, as is seen in the video.

A "Carry Can" Sits on the Forks of a Front Load Refuse Truck to Allow for Residential Collection

A "carry can" is small dumpster-like container that can be mounted to the forks of a front load garbage truck to allow for the manual loading of residential waste. These "carry cans" can also be outfitted with a cart tipper, which allows 64- and 96-gallon trash carts to be mechanically emptied into the "carry can". "Carry cans" have been around since at least the 1980's and were very popular in southern California up until the advent of fully automated waste collection. The "carry can" system continues to be the method of choice for waste collection in many communities here in the Pacific Northwest where tight roads and alleys, inclement weather, and abundant trees and other obstacles make fully automated collection impractical.

With this little bit of back history in mind, check out this weeks video below, featuring the aforementioned "carry can" system:

I hope you all have enjoyed this weeks video! Thanks for stopping by!
