Garbage Day with Snow and Ice!

A couple weeks ago, my area got hit with a late winter storm that left us with several inches of snow, and later, sleet, ice, and slush as well. I got the opportunity, just before it all melted away, to go out and document how waste collectors adapt to these conditions!

Also, I decided to experiment and use my new camera to shoot video with, and if I do say so myself, the results were stunning! So here it is, enjoy this video showing how garbage trucks handle adverse winter conditions!

As always, take care, stay warm, and stay safe!

Garbage Truck of the Day

Here's a photo I snapped yesterday afternoon. This old beast is a 2003 Freightliner Condor with a Wittke Starlight front load body. This unit has been outfitted with The Curotto-Can II for automated residential waste collection. Though she may be starting to show her age, she still slams back cans and gets the route done like she did on day one!
