Mighty Machines S01E11 · At the Garbage Dump

Overview

A garbage truck named Trasher explains his job, collecting garbage in neighbourhoods with Mario, his driver. Later, Whitey, another garbage truck, explains the operations of the transfer station, showing how garbage is pushed down a chute and compacted into large semi-trailers used for garbage transfer. The trailer of garbage is then picked up by Big Red, a garbage transfer truck. The story continues at the dump where Big Red, a semi-garbage truck introduces the machines that work at the dump; Pee-Wee, a bulldozer, Spike, a compactor, and Scoop, a scraper explain how a landfill works. Scoop and Pee-Wee spread the garbage out after the garbage trucks unload it. Pee-Wee spreads out the garbage while Spike compacts it, Scoop brings dirt to the dump to cover up the garbage, and Pee-Wee finishes it by spreading the dirt out.
