Newcastle Recycling *NEW CONTRACT*

After much anticipation on Wednesday the fresh fleet of 5 new trucks hit the roads of Newcastle done up the with the sky blue Cleanaway colour. It definitely a culture shock to see something other then the regular Solo trucks picking up yellow tops in Newy. Cleanaway has rolled out 5 brand new trucks and 2 spares sourced from other contracts. The new trucks are numbered SL01718-22. These are new Gen6 29m Buchers fitted on a Dennis Chassis. Majority of drivers are newbies to the industry resulting in slower pick ups therefore delayed or missed collections. Here we see an Ex Solo driver (who was already at the company before the contract change) smashing out his area of Waratah on Thursday. He says the grabs are quite delayed hence why so maybe bins where pinch or incorrectly grabbed. I assume that will loosen up over time. Got plenty of years with these trucks now so won't be in any rush to upload a lot of it.
