Smart idea!/w3tcompact/icons/clever.gif

I live in the city limits but do not have trash pickup so we have dumpsters in my neighborhood, which are indeed very handy to have.

When I move to the country later this year we will have no trash pickup so I will have to drive about five miles just to take off my trash. Maybe I should consider doing what you do so I can have my very own personal dumpster, too!/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

The dumpster has definately helped me keep my keep the accumilation of "stuff" at a controlable level.
I think /w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif
I am forever bringing things home, that are just to good to throw away !!! I have been known (Honestly ) to bring home pickup loads of "stuff" /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif
And I find that by having the dumpster I tend to get rid of alot more "stuff" that has been sitting in a box, under the workbench, out in the shed for three years now.
/w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif I can't keep it all, God knows I try /w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif

They also make one with a grapple arm that picks up the garbage pails, and dumps them in... only one man running the truck, not two. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Are we talking models or the real thing? I have seen the real machines like you talk about as BFI use to run some like that. I just like to see models of real companies and when First Gear came out with the Waste Management truck I was wondering if there was a real company till I saw pics of their real trucks. It is kind of fun to collect models of equipment that is used in your area.

<font color=blue>the bottom line is except the worst of snowy years the blade and bucket do just fine. Unfortunately, this is shaping up to be one of those years.</font color=blue>

Ain't that the truth! 40" to date this winter in North East Mass! Everybody repeat after me, "I should have bought a snowblower"

Actually I'm in the process of building a front mount plow with power angle. Should speed things up for the 8" and less snow falls.

This is what we have in Wickenburg, AZ. It's a 90 gallon container, with once-a-week pickup. You can get a second container for a bit extra.

Same story down here in Tucson. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

We have the "60" and "90" toters(trash cans with wheels). The truck like in the pictures comes along with a two yard box on the front. On the front of the box is a little hydraulic lift. The guy stops, gets out, rolls the toter up to the little lift and it dumps it in the 2 yard box. After several houses, he then dumps the two yard into the big truck. The two yard works pretty good for flinging in bagged stuff, too.
