Great video!

Very cool video! That unloading shot at the start was one of the best I’ve seen! Very interesting to see this!

Get a real good perspective as it all slides out in one big mass hey! Best angle to watch a side loader tipping off =D

Awesome! That big compactor is nice to see.

Couldn’t agree more. Even though it’s a major transfer station for the council and the region, it’s still an impressive operation as well as having plenty there to document.

Gota love this video mate especially with the old cleary bros bin 👌

I think I might as well throw Myself in that compactor too!

Interesting setup. Don’t think you would ever see an open-air tipping floor like this in the states because of the wind blowing loose plastic around. Oddly that doesn’t seem to be an issue here. I have been to a few small-town transfer stations like this though, where less than 10 actual garbage trucks come through every day and everyone working there knows all the drivers. Another difference is that little skidsteer seems to be more than adequate for keeping up with the flow of waste, especially if he has 20 minutes or so between loads to work through the pile. Overall a tasteful look at the operation, you showed what was worth seeing while keeping it short and sweet

You wouldn't really see this in any city areas of Australia, but they do things a little different out in the regional places and I guess get away with a bit more haha There are also some small landfills out there which are only manned on certain days, so the council truck dumps the load out of hours, which is left to sit there for maybe a day or two until someone comes and pushes it over. This is all extremely small scale, like this Yass Valley one only sees the ASLs come through maybe two days a week and would probably get a few mini RL commercial loads, so anything more than that Bobcat would be overkill I guess. Glad you enjoyed the watch, thanks for leaving a comment =D

Google 2460 E 24th St, Vernon, CA 90058. Now it shows Specialty Bin Rental, the temporary bin division of UWS. First was a regular yard, converted to a transfer station once we got the Chinatown yard. Setup was just an open parking lot with a 4 foot by maybe 40 ft sheet metal "push wall" up against the neighbor's building. They used a single JCB telehandler to load transfer trailers. I was honestly shocked the first time I saw the place, right in the middle of the city too. On one hand pretty clever what they managed to do with the bare minimum investment, on the other no leachate handling, no cover of any kind, like a third world country. Closed now.

@@georgewuzheer that is so bizarre, the balls it takes to set that up without asking anyone’s permission, and they had the wisdom to shut it down before it became an issue. I feel they are lowkey enough to know how to pull that off, any other company would have gotten cocky and had a court case

Interesting video mate!

Nice Video Mate

Part of the problem is with the packaging and the way people get rid of garbage. If manufacturers and people were more aware of what happens to the garbage, these facilities would be confined better. In my opinion they're doing best as possible. Yes this could be a little more confined but garbage needs to be delt with .

Wasn‘t aware you got a video of this too, really cool to get a whole show around of the facility. This is what you call a small town operation haha The opening shot was pretty sweet with the truck coming from the distance and then backing up to the pit, got some good revs too. Probably the best angle for a unloading shot and there aren‘t that many unloading shots on KZread from this angle so it was a nice addition to the video. Pretty clever idea with the bobcat and compactor too save room. Very cool to not only get a view of the compactor and trash pit but also the other parts of the operation. So there are the glass bay which is for glass seperated in colours but also the pits, are the bins from the glass bay dumped at the pits when they are full or why are there glass pits in addition to the glass bay and does a transfer trailer transport it to the MRF when the pits are full. So many questions :P Thought I might add that this is the best way to recycle glass since seperated glass can actually be recycled with ease. In Germany, we still have glass bays with three different containers and we have to bring our glass there and seperate it by colour just like the residents who use the transfer station in the video. May be more work for both residents and contractors but in the end gives you a much higher quality recycling product. Biggest surprise in this video by far were the steel bins since I‘ve actually never seen them in Australia. Always thought they were more of a European thing since a lot of them were/are used in Europe but Australia in general seemed to have prefered the American steel bins that don‘t have a rolltop. Are there actually any councils in Australia that have used or are using rolltop containers (steel or plastic)? Really enjoyed this video, really something different from the usual garbage truck videos here on KZread.

I didn't initially plan to capture this video and what's in it, I think it sort of just happened. Initially I was only chasing an unloading shot of the truck, then as I drove in and saw the place I guess the idea of a different video was triggered. I got something similar of the Harden Shire Council facility a few days earlier, but there was much more to see at this Yass Valley site! As for the glass, I was curious about why there were two storage areas for the three colours, with the smaller holding bays outside the recycling shed and then the longer holding bays on the opposite boundary of the site. It looks like they have quite a substantial holding capacity combined! I imagine a truck and dog tipper is sufficient to transport a large amount of 1 or 2 of the colours out at once whenever a decent volume builds up, I'd imagine it would go straight to a glass processer from here, perhaps Visy at Laverton? I get the impression sorting glass into colours here in Australia is far less of a thing now versus how widespread the practice was in the past, at least in city locations with the big MRFs. I believe over here these days it's more common to collect glass mixed together as cullet, where it's sent off to a beneficiation facility for sorting, crushing, washing and eventually recycling. The steel bins are heaps cool hey! I understand OTTO had plenty of them around in their early days of Aussie waste collections and apparently Rethmann had them all over the Penrith area for commercial in the past. I don't know about any steel rolltop bins in existence locally today, but I've seen plastic ones being used by Melbourne and CityWide, Bankstown put them out there for units too (I have a video to come eventually).

Why not truck tip on a conveyor below then self fed to a big shredder below.

nice video mitch, I haven’t really been to a landfill at all in my life, are most of the modern ones, let’s say that were built now, look like this too? I’m assuming that this is their garbage run truck, but correct me if I’m wrong recycling gets dumped in a shed and greens out in a pile and garbage like this? my closest tip does all 3, and they’ve just been digging it in the ground and building houses on top, is that what they usually do? seems sorta ironic that garbage trucks are driving on top of garbage they had dumped in the past lol. I really liked how you added the walk around and showed the very many specific details of the “yard” or site not sure what to call it. thanks again for another unique video.

This facility isn't a landfill, a landfill is where waste is actually buried onsite for permanent disposal - Sydney examples would be Cleanaway Lucas Heights, SUEZ Kemps Creek and Bingo Eastern Creek. You don't really see any landfills built brand new these days either, at least not in Australia. I'm sure it's done the same way today with newer trucks, but the shown GenV and a second similar one were used for recycling collections on Mon and Tue, garbage collections Wed to Fri. Kerbside recycling gets taken to the Elouera MRF in Young as far as I know, whereas the shed in this video is only for small volumes drop-off by the public, plus no kerbside green waste service in Yass Valley. Not really an acceptable thing to build houses on top of closed landfills, usually former landfills are destined to become recreation sites like golf courses and playing fields. Cheers :)

Yep the waste facilities went across to Cleanaway a couple Friday nights ago, seems like they were all quickly rebranded across that weekend along with many transfer trailers. Cleanaway has acquired Lucas Heights, Kemps Creek, Belrose, North Ryde, Artarmon, Auburn and Rockdale. Veolia is taking over all the collections work and truck fleet, so residential contracts and commercial services in Sydney. Seems like bits and pieces interstate will be going to Remondis, but it looks like they will also acquire the Seven Hills transfer station. Basically, Veolia has to divest certain assets to satisfy competition concerns in the industry - if they kept all the Sydney tips from SUEZ, they would have a monopoly over waste disposal across the entire city.

Awesome video! When the bobcat was pushing the rubbish into the compactor at the end, where did that take the rubbish? Does it just go straight underground once pushed in? Once again great video
