I spent hours trying to find this truck and then there was also all the time spent waiting for it. By time I'd finished with the garbage truck, there was still heaps of green-waste left to collect with only a few streets having been touched. It wasn't until about 1pm that I encountered the first side loader, which was a new MacDonald Johnston. After videoing this truck, I was pointed in the direction of the Sidepak shown in the video, where I was lucky enough to capture just enough footage before the Monday area was completed. Sutherland used to run a number of these for the green-waste and recycling collections, until URM took them over for use in my council.
Thanks to the driver for letting me video, all ratings and comments would be awesome, hope you enjoy the smooth action with this rare truck. I also have other Sutherland footage, which includes videos of the garbage, clean-up and another of the green-waste.
