Hornsby Green Waste (SidePAK) - SL00642

For this months upload we see another Sydney Cleanaway Residential Side Loader this time one of the four permanent Hornsby Greens truck, collecting the many green lidded bins lined throughout the streets in the Northern Sydney garden proud area. I managed to catch up with 642 last Monday in the suburb of North Epping on a cool sunny afternoon just after 12pm, with Mitch behind the wheel of his now full time dark blue Cleanaway machine. Truck SL00642 is a 2009 Iveco Acco with a Compaction Systems/Superior PAK 25m SidePAK body, sporting the standard "three bin mascot" Hornsby signage, specifically made up before the start of the contract for the greens collections due to it having the paddle packer design and this truck still has the original SidePAK lifter. I have always wanted to get the Hornsby trucks on video but in particular one of the SidePAK's on greens, maybe Mitch being a full time driver out there now days gave me the extra motivation :P Actually my first time seeing a SidePAK in person and I must say I was impressed. Its one beast of a truck with its smooth but loud revs during bin lifts as you will see in the video. All green waste from Hornsby Shire is taken to Kimbriki and each truck does two loads with three loads done on the heavier days of the week. Was good to catch up with Mitch for a chat once again and I can see hes pretty happy that hes driving a SidePAK, as they will probably be extinct in the next couple of years. Big thanks has to go to Mitch for being cool with the videos and making the videoing very easy. Hope everyone enjoys the video and there will be plenty more to come.
