Dandenong Garbage

This week we see a video I shot back in June last year in the suburb of Springvale. On a Thursday morning I went down to Greater Dandenong Council to check out the new JJR (JJ Richards) equipment but also the latest Bin roll out that was done in the past year to all residents across the Greater Dandenong Council. I also in fact went down to get the Green-Waste collection as no one has really gone out and gotten it so it was a good opportunity for me to cross it off my list! Once I got off the train I first found the DAV Truck (Difficult Access Vehicle) doing its Garbage run. After being given the all clear from the driver I was off filming the clean truck. I was also expecting to find one of the standard body trucks but getting the COMPACT one was a bonus as it saves me time looking for it if I was to go to Dandenong in the future. You may also notice the fresh roll out of bins that is featured in the video, In mid 2014 the new bins began to hit the streets and the old ones were straight out the door. Old Bin colours were the following: Old Bins: Fully Nature Green 120L and 140L for Garbage Fully Blue 240L for Recycling Fully Maroon 240L for Green-Waste New Bins: Black body with Red Lids 80L,120L,140L and 240L for Garbage Black body with Yellow Lids 240L and 360L for Recycle Black body with Lime Green Lids 120L and 240L for Green-Waste The new roll out of bins was supposed to be done by MASTEC but then SULO some how ended up doing the Roll out! The new 80L and 120L bins suits Greater Dandenong well. Garbage in Greater Dandenong is a big problem hence why introducing the new 80L & 120L bin system works well to cut back on the amount of Garbage that is taken to Landfill. I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did filming it and shout out goes to the friendly driver for letting film! Cheers.
