I used to drive garbage trucks, they took both dumpsters and small trash cans, and they were the most fun big toys I've ever worked with.

[quiggsy]

Much respect to the garbagemen, without them we wouldn't have such easy lives.

Loved watching how it's made in high school 7-10 years ago. Didn't know what engineering was until senior year of high school, then through engineering school remembered I liked this show. But now I'm a videographer, making some videos about making things lol

[aftersky]

Mom: why are u on ur phone the whole day, what did u learn from that?!?!?
Me: *I'm learning how to make a garbage truck*

[yan]

2:41 absolute badass doesn’t need a welding hood he strikes fear into the arcs with his stare

[cjoy]

I love @How It's Made and you are a big reason, I became a Mechanical Engineer. I currently work at a USA garbage truck manufacturer. It really is cool being able to designs these behemoths. Great Video!

[Brad.H]

"humans beings have always generated garbage"


*i feel attacked*

[davidfrancisco]

My favorite show since i was a teenager

Still waiting to see if Charlie has found this video yet. I'm sure he was consulted for his expertise on the subject.

[goldenrose]

It is really fasnating to learn how stuff are made.

[tonycollins]

I can remember picking a few trucks up from here and delivering them. Fort Payne, Alabama I believe.

A damn combat vehicle, I’ll never look at one the same haha

I just watched this sitting on the shop floor where we machine transmission parts for the Mack cabovers shown at the end.

Side note: what happened to trash before 1952

[carmelosaurus]

A childhood classic

0:06-0:08 😂 That sound so out of Contacts

[blaze]

I work at Republic Services and the half pack commercial front loaders are just a bad design period, Monday I have to go and install a new floor and wear plates made from AR steel and put supports where the blade first starts compacting the trash because it just puts a big dip in the floor and supports where all the hydralic cylinders are because they just crack the plates and break off eventually..

[andresmorales]

You learn a lot from the Science Channel

[dhirendrapsingh]

Informative. Useful. Calming. Inspiring. Life-changing. Enjoyable. Heart-warming. Other.

[Nicholas-f]

The newest Mack recycle trucks are quiet and clean, electric too ⚡

[rawbacon]

The great thing about those big trash containers and the automated dumping robot is you can put a body in there and no one will even know it.
