A garbage truck toy!

Oh! A real garbage truck!

Are you ready to learn about garbage truck and recycling today?

Yeah, let's go!

Now, let's learn some of the parts of the garbage truck. Come on!

First things first, the cab!

Hoo! Look at who it is! It's Tony!

-Hey, Tony! -Hi, kids!

Uh! Ha, ha. That, the cab, it's where the garbage truck driver sits

and steers the garbage truck!

Woah! Ha, ha. It's so high though.

How do they get up there?

Oh, let me show you. Come on.

These are the steps.

Ha, ha. That's so fun. I love garbage trucks.

Woah! Look at right here! You know what this is,

it's a fire extinguisher just in case if there is any fire near

or on the garbage truck.

Garbage trucks are really safe,

you'll soon learn that cause let me teach ya.

Here are some more safety features of the garbage truck. Look!

You know what these are?

They are tire chains.

Just in case if the road gets really icy and slippery.

You rap them around the tires so then the garbage truck can drives straight

and not slip and slide.

Oh, look! Reflective tape.

This is for light to hit and bounce off

and make the truck really bright at night.

Garbage trucks are so safe.

Oh! Look, a spill kit! Another safety feature.

This yellow bag contains absorbent pats just in case if there is

any ewy and icky things on the ground that you can't scoop or broom up

into the garbage truck. So you use the spill kit.

Oh, come back here, I have something really cool to show you.

Oh, right, come here! Look! Ha, ha.

Air bags! Watch this!

Woah.

Did you see that?

The garbage truck just lower because of those air bags

and it used those air bags right before you dump.

And look...

this is how you dump the recycling goods out of the garbage truck.

This opens up because these hydraulic cylinders push the back door

really open and then it dumps all the compressed goods out of it.

But first, we need some stuff in it. How do you get it in there?

The coolest part. Let me show you. Come on.

Hey, come here. Ha, ha.

Watch this.

This is the grabber arm. It goes...

It's like a claw. It grabs the can, pulls it in, brings it up

and dumps it into the hopper.

Look! The hopper up there! And then it gets pushed

into the compression body right here, and then it gets compressed really tight

and then it gets dumped out of the back like I said.

Woah, I love garbage trucks!

Now that we know the parts of a garbage truck and how it works

let's learn about the differences between garbage and recycling.

Garbage, you only can use once and then you through it away.

Stuff like kitty litter, bubble gum,

or even like a dirty dipper. Phew!

You only use that stuff once and then you through it away.

But recycling you can use it many times!

Because it might get melted down or just processed back into

the original product or something similar made out of the same material,

and if it can, it's recyclable.

Let me show you some of the things I brought from home to recycle today.

Oh, look, a milk jug. That's plastic, you can recycle plastic.

And then, a tin can.

An aluminum can.

Uh, plastic bags.

Oh, a spray bottle. That's plastic.

Uh, a glass bottle.

And even a cardboard box.

All those things you can recycle.

Now that we know the difference between garbage and recyclable goods,

let's visit a recycling facility and sort out some recyclable goods.

We're at the recycling facility.

First, we need our safety equipment on before we go inside.

Ok, here we go.

Bright vest, bright hard hat and safety glasses.

And, suspenders.

Now that we have all the recyclable materials out of the truck

now we get them sorted. This is going to be fun!

All the recyclable materials come up the conveyable

and then they need to be sorted

because there are so many different kinds like paper, plastic,

cardboard, aluminum, tin. There are so many!

Here, let's go sort some.

All of the recyclable goods travel down these conveyor belts,

workers sort them out by the different types of materials

and once they get sorted it out to one type of material

like this cardboard, it then gets crashed and compacted

into this tight log of one material.

Then a forklift comes up, picks it up and transports it

to a different part of the warehouse.

And when the material is ready to be transported onto the back of a semi

to go somewhere else to be recycled, a forklift loads it

into the back of the semi.

That was so much fun seeing inside of a real recycling facility.

Now, let me turn up those tunes so we can dance to

and sing my garbage truck song.

Garbage trucks

Garbage trucks.

Driven through the town, picking cans above the ground,

garbage trucks.

Sometimes when I wake up early in the morning I here a monster sound.

I look at the window and there's a garbage truck

picking cans above the ground.

It empties the can and puts it back down and drives away so loud.

Garbage trucks.

Garbage trucks.

Driven through the town, picking cans above the ground,

garbage trucks.

The garbage man drives up in the garbage truck

and takes that garbage up.

He dumps it in the back so that it can be crushed

but he drives out to the dump.

He backs up to a pile above a trash from the town

and dumps the whole thing out.

Garbage trucks.

Garbage trucks.

Driven through the town, picking cans above the ground,

garbage trucks.

They come in many colors.

Some are blue, some are brown and some are green.

And wouldn't you know it?

There are some that can pick up recycle bins.

Garbage trucks.
