Yep.. I did it over 20 years ago already, and it all depends on your driver and route. This residential area route doesn’t seem to bad, and the driver waits for the bagger to get back on. When I did it the drivers were assholes because they got incentive based pay.. faster you do your route, the more they get paid, so your running to keep up with the truck because some of them would just leave you if you weren’t fast enough and call dispatch to bring out someone else. Your knees and ankles/feet take a beating jumping on and off the truck 1k+ times a day.
You’re absolutely right. I think the massive increase in human life expectancy is attributed to the removal of waste from where we live and access to clean drinking water. Advancements in medicine, though extremely important, seem to get all the credit. Hold your head high, young man. Your work is invaluable.
We took a whole tree once while on garden waste. Chopped through a full 15 inch trunk multiple times as we loaded it in. On another round we took a garage door. Had to bite corners off it until it fitted in. Those were the days.
Man, sanitation is such a vital part of allowing society to function and thrive. Can you imagine the disease and issues we would have without it? I really appreciate what you do
Garbage man in the 70’s? I bet that was cool. Probably a lot more interaction too then. More people were outside in the streets doing things and socializing.
I work in this industry I know we don't get appreciation from many people but the ones who do it makes our day and our work little more better. Being a slinger is fun at times but it can get messy.
I don't own a home yet or in a neighborhood but what can I do to make your job a little better? I have massive respect for you guys after watching this videos and reading all the comments
Thank you so much for posting this video. Before today, I never thought much about my garbage once I threw it in the dumpster. I have a newfound respect and admiration for this profession. Your parents must be immensely proud of the service you provide your community.
I did this for my grandpas local garbage business when I was 16! Looks like the same kinda smasher I used too. It’s nice that it has an auto lever to run the whole cycle without having to hold it in. Good workout, sucked when bags were filled with heavy shite or if they broke. Gotta watch for juicy explosions when crushing too. Landfills smell like hot cheese!
I noticed how he sets down the trash cans after emptying them. Where i am they toss em half hazard when there done, they do the same to the recycling bins. Total Lac of respect.
@@flawdaman305 where i am. It's the helpers in the back that slam the cans down tre for times with the hidrolics , then they leave & the same to others, people did complain to the city who called W.M they did nothing, until i sent them the Bill's for the busted bin's they called & apologized they oaid for the bin's, the employee was fired for his stupidity. Now they send us the side lift & the driver is careful not to break things. Only once they broke my bin accedentely & left me a note stating that they are willing to replace it. So i didn't make a fuss & spoke with the driver two weeks later, he apologized for the mistake, the bin slipped out of the claw & smashed to the ground. I appreciated the fact that he let me know of the incident, so i told his boss , keep him he dose a good job & is very mindful, i was told the man has been doing this for 20 year's & has always been mindful. I like people that know how to work & be mindful. I told his boss we need more people like him, he agreed.
A great uncle owned two garbage trucks. Collected garbage from elder age homes and apartment buildings etc. He also had a landscaping buiness. He died with over a million dollars (and thats in the late 70s) . He couldn't spend all of the money he had and hid it everywhere on his properties. One pile of money was neatly rolled into tobacco cans that blocked up a pantry.
Man I used to be be a driver for a residential garbage collection company and at first I thought it was not much but damn I found out its fun. Specially when I got to help other drivers and I would be outside with the 2 helpers picking up the cans. They should let the helper wear snearkers.
Damn you're killing it!! Much respect. My trash guys could learn a lot from you. We can't throw out furniture here only household trash in bags or barrels and there is a limit of each, we pay yearly for trash pickup.
i’ve been doing this job for 14 years. the kid is pretty good. hang in there buddy. word of advice. put the couch upside down. the money comes out easier.
Never thought I’d be watching a video of a guy manning a garbage truck, but man, you are skilled and efficient. Great idea with the videos, and props to your hard work and hustle. 👍🏻
I did this for a year for the city of denver. Both big item pick up like you are doing in the video and also i did can routes where you tip them. During that year i was in great shape beacuse they removed the steps on the back of the trucks because someone got injured the year before i started working there
This job seems so relaxing. Worst part would be the smell but you’d get used to it. We don’t have trucks like this here. No body rides on the back and manually loads trash.
Que país mais subdesenvolvido a esse que você vive aqui no Brasil são duas pessoas que recolhe o lixo e ainda assim é com má vontade Deve ser porque o salário é muito baixo
This is how it used to be done in England when I was a kid. Now it’s wheelie bins. There are some rounds done like this but they are usually council flats.
Did this kind of work back in the 80s. 2 years of summers working the tale plus 10 years packer driver. Now I just haul from the trans station to the dump. "Young man's got skills!" Now I just enjoy my double knee and hip replacement trucking on my donut seat cushion. Good luck, young man!!! ( back in the day if there wasn't a 20 pinned to the couch, No just no)
I didn't even realize that many old-school garbage trucks like this were still around. Everything in my area is all village and city supplied 85 gallon bins with garbage trucks that have automated robotic arms that lift the trash so the driver never has to do any work. And each truck in my area is single person operated.
I like the extra rebar handle they added on, definitely helps. Interesting they never ran the PTO while driving on our truck, I wonder if that was a rule or crap truck.
they still get rid of trash like this on the neighborhoods we have in az garbage trucks with robot hands that swing out clinch on to the garbage can an dumps it over the trash truck inside the top of dump part of the truck
Bro this man taking all sorts of trash, bags, bins and a freaking couch all by hand. Our waste disposal won’t even touch my waste bin if the lid is cracked an inch or it’s not perfectly measured and squared to the curb…. And it’s automated no one is hanging off the back
Some people have 2 bags, others are throwing away couches and they take everything. Bad thing about those bins is you have to stuff everything in them for our garbage to pick it up. This seems like such a chill job and I think we should give it back to the people.
I was a kid when we still had these trucks, think one of the guys fell off the side when going to the dump and got ran over by a car following too close. Three towns pretty much shifted to the automatics shortly thereafter. Underrated job, dangerous too.
I remember this being a thing when I lived in South Lake Tahoe as a child. Always kind of respected it. Out where I live now it's always been the ones that grab the cans as far as I know
Wow, you're really fast. Do you make more money by going hard or just get finished earlier? Edited to say: I watch a construction youtuber who is always complaining that his guys aren't hustling, but they get paid by the hour. If they bust their ass and finish early they make less money!

@nathanquillen297 been doing it for 20 years now. Our incentives are weight based, not speed based, thankfully. Still some asshole drivers though
The job really sucks during winter
Yeah it's a job you'll pay for when you're older. @@nathanquillen297
What is the pay?
Hands down, the most under appreciated job in America.
Idk you just throw bags in the truck

@@AS3R1US….
@@AS3R1USimagine if nobody was there to pick up your trash and throw it in the truck!
Some states pay 6 figures to do it.
Never knew those trucks could chop a sofa in half like that.
Not many things that wouldn’t chop. It’s insanely powerful lol
Hydraulics💪
We took a whole tree once while on garden waste. Chopped through a full 15 inch trunk multiple times as we loaded it in.
On another round we took a garage door. Had to bite corners off it until it fitted in. Those were the days.
We’re told it will eat a pick up truck easy
@@flawdaman305 stories from the old boys said they took a Reliant Robin once in 3 pieces...

I really appreciate what you do
That garbage truck sure was hungry for that couch 😂
Same
@@PlayingwithAvery d
yeah no kidding
Try doing that here in England, NOPE - you can't dump stuff like that on the kerb, you gotta take it to the dump yourself.
This kid is the GOAT, in my opinion... He does moves most of us can only dream about doing!! Keep it up, dude!!!
pourquoi gamin ??? 🇨🇵🖐️
I’m tired just watching him lol
I know. My back is hurting just watching him. LOL
Speak for your self
He will have a great future of back pain ahead
Young man works hard nice work. I did that back in the 70's I really enjoyed it.

With out you our town would turn to shit
I don't own a home yet or in a neighborhood but what can I do to make your job a little better? I have massive respect for you guys after watching this videos and reading all the comments
From a trash haulers kid who has witnessed what you fellas go through on a first hand basis I thank you for all that you do
@@thegentleman03 Double tying bags
Dude has a lot of confidence in those bags
Some places you have to buy bags from the city / county.
Thank you so much for posting this video.
Before today, I never thought much about my garbage once I threw it in the dumpster. I have a newfound respect and admiration for this profession.
Your parents must be immensely proud of the service you provide your community.
Now these guys deserve a "thank you for your service!"
They get one every week, it's call a paycheck.
@@spencers4121 so does everyone else that we say " thank you for your service" to.
This guy is very skilled, quickly puts the trash in like a pro, the most underrated but probably one of the most funnest jobs to do
You clearly never shaked.😂

Sometimes the driver takes off before they can be placed properly or workers are too busy dodging people speeding by

Been doing for almost 21yrs very demanding job people don't appreciate how hard those guys and gals work
Stay Humble kid, you Dftly earned it !!
Keep up the Great work that you do.
👍🏼👍🏼😎
Dude's got style. I admire anyone who excells at their job. Shows maturity and pride. I dig it.

Also City: Trash Collectors
That couch was a payoff to watch - soo satisfying! Thank you trash collectors/ throwers!
They got so many houses done in just 11:00. You could see him getting tired. Definitely appreciate this job a lil more
I haven't seen manual trash collection in like 35 years. Remember watching those guys when i was a kid every Wednesday.
Its great watching people work from the comfy comfort of my bed 😊
Never thought I’d be watching a video of a guy manning a garbage truck, but man, you are skilled and efficient. Great idea with the videos, and props to your hard work and hustle. 👍🏻
Never seen one of those trucks crush a whole damn couch!!😳😳

Thank you. This was exactly what I needed. A trash picking POV 🙏
Dang this kid runs faster than I do. I would have a twisted ankle on my first day doing that.
I did this job and after the second day that's exactly what happened.
I am pretty sure you can become a monetized YT partner by now, dude.

@@guiibg7636no they are actually very highly paid with some companies starting with 30$ an hour.
Having been doing this for nearly 20 years, some smells you never get used to 😂😂
It is absolutely not relaxing I can assure you of that
Your knees, feet, and ankles would be absolutely destroyed doing this by the end of a shift.
These people deserve more respect than any given politician. Way more honorable and hardworking.
Who the hell respects politicians?
This man should get a raise.
Tell me about it!!!!!
No he took weak

I always offer my guys something to drink when I see them. Jeff likes mountain dew and whitey likes pepsi
Ok 😐
Respect !
Im struggling to take out the garbage bags amd he just throws out with hand , that couch probably toke 2 person to put on street 😅
Every jobs are to be respected, thumb's up for hard workers 👍👍
2:00 couch squishing 😂
Я до последнего не верил что он сожрёт диван 😂
Hydraulics never fail to amaze me. So powerful
Looks like a young Dwight schrute
nice work
thank you for what you do
"They'll watch anything at this point. "
Should start carrying walkie-talkies
Yo this shit low key satisfying lol I’m just going to keep watching

So fast , efficient and unsafe haha (compared to the UK, not so). :)
Dudes a beast at his job!! I’ve done that job and it sucks
Crazy that people are allowed to dump a couch with regular trash :D
And why do they leave some trash? 4:15
Can't put a sofa into the trash collection where I live, that is crazy.
Honest days work for this young buck, most of the kids his age have no idea what hard work is!
Huck City you show off man great video
I like the extra rebar handle they added on, definitely helps. Interesting they never ran the PTO while driving on our truck, I wonder if that was a rule or crap truck.
Actually looks kinda fun in a weird way

Honest and important work 👍

This camera angle is much better we can see more. Love the video 👍
This man is very good at his job
Unironically, thank you. Thank you.
Did this for one day. It started my descent into old age. Never again will or can I ever do thus job
This is what I hear every week at 7 am
Imagine our society without these guys.
That's called Paris
thanks for your service sir
What is the pay like?
1:14 i c u bro, that behind the back valid
I understand why bodies in dumpsters worked (maybe still do) now after that couch
thanks for taking our waste you are arguably the most important role in our modern era 🙇🏼♀️
I watched this for 10 minutes and I'm wore out. Dude is a Stud!
that trash truck just turn into a Suma fighter after the couch he ate
company fr needs to provide garbage bins
THAT COUCHE IS NOW SAYING OUCH
Thank you for your great work.

Guys got it right, all about the momentum. Save your joints. Good work man, effecient. You and your driver work great together.
Wow amazing 😮 👏 🤩 skils lovely video 📹
Thank you for doing what you do!!

A reclining sofa would have been fun.

i used to do this and man when it was cold raining snowing blazing hot it was living hell. and God the smell from those bags sometimes 😣😣
Our garbage company would never take a couch like that. That’s awesome
My town dump would've charged 50$ to dump the couch lol
i love garbage trucks BTW! so if its a garbage truck i will most likely love it!
Didn’t know you were chill like that
Based.
Looks kinda fun.
get that class B young man
and sweet moves!
Die Jungs sind Fleißig immer rein mit dem MÜLL in die Karre.
You leave a sofa out in the UK it will stay there forever
Also in the UK they don't have things you can hold on to so the guys just run alongside. They are the fittest people
The couch getting crushed was pretty cool... and props to u for even taking it
