Fretus Waste Services – Garwood/Hino
It’s sweet to think back to all the jobs I’ve held over the years and recall how I’ve come to work at each of them, allowing me to tick off many experiences along the way. Then there’s where I am now as a 30 year old, working for a local family business called Fretus Waste Services, steering a rear loader during the dark of the night while doing commercial garbage around the north shore of Sydney. It’s the kind of gig which is very hard to come by these days, reflecting an old school way of waste collection which is disappearing. It’s really a great escape from the direction most of the collection sector is going in!
I first heard of the Fretus name back in 2015 and discovered the family’s historic presence in the waste industry, in addition to learning of their significant achievement bringing the “Rapid Rail System” into Australia from the USA. While in the process of researching the family’s earlier days of operations, I found myself on the phone with the boss discussing a job opportunity! This would see me fill a vacant position involving an alliance with a dream truck of mine and a nature of work I was now pursuing, exactly what I envisaged some 10 years earlier. Anyway it didn’t take much to satisfy Mitch and sway him down this latest employment path - the right things happen at the right time.
Apologies to anybody who was hanging out for a video of my fulltime JP5/ACCO weapon, I’ll have to keep you waiting a bit longer. In the meantime, I present this upload of the youngest vehicle in our mini fleet of four trucks! This rear loading compactor was built + delivered at the very end of 2022 to handle some new clientele and act as a reliable spare truck as required. It’s also allocated to the small Saturday run, which I alternate fortnightly with my co-worker, being the only time I regularly take it for a spin. However, my truck was off the road for a number of shifts, so it served its purpose as a back-up during that weekday period, which gave me a chance to have a good go at this new machine and of course capture some documenting footage along the way.
Firstly, it was cool to try out a modern Hino GH cab chassis to see what the latest offering is from this truck builder. It’s a great rig at least from a driving perspective, I’d have no complaints getting one of these to use permanently. They’re simple, comfy, quiet, get moving ok and visibility is sweet, what more do you want! I’d also had very little experience using Garwood equipment, so I was excited to give this 12m Powapact body a run. After testing it out a decent amount, this is the make of rear loader I’d want as a new truck with what’s on the Aussie market nowadays. I appreciate Garwood has kept their gear basic - now rare PLC controls, only the functions you need and no interlocks that affect the efficiency and ease of the job. How about the option to change between single and two-touch packer cycling, also see if you can guess during which clip autostart packer mode is on =D For the small sweep blade on this model, it takes a generous bite of the hopper! The bin shake ability in conjunction with the arrestor bar is excellent too.
I'd wanted to put together a tidy video of a newer Garwood rear loader, but didn’t expect I’d be doing it while using one myself! As usual, it’s a pain in the arse stuffing around capturing the videos on the job, yet I always enjoy meshing the clips together to see the finished result. It’s a lengthy compilation here, but you don’t often see Aussie C&I pick-ups, also not much of this garbage truck combo exists on UA-cam, plus there’s the different angles, bin sizes, pack cycles, driving shots and even a 3.5t load ejection! You’ll realise this truck is very quiet as well, it operates at idle with a higher capacity hydraulic pump, which lets off plenty of noise itself, but the loudest part is the banging sound of each pack stage reaching end point. I can’t help but wonder how a larger Hino FM with a Garwood Maxipact would perform in place of my regular truck, perhaps one day I’ll find out? Enough from me, I hope this video is enjoyed, also be sure to set the picture quality to 720p!

    When I saw the title said “Fretus” I was expecting to see an ACCO JP5 as the thumbnail, disappointed mate. You forgot to mention how good the lifter teeth are on the Garwoods, you don’t need to be real precise with your bin placement, the way they’re shaped means they just slide on when you raise the lifer. With an UrBin or SPAK you gotta be wacking those bins on with precision! I’m currently driving a newer version of this body at the moment on clean ups, newest truck in our fleet. I quite like the compacts, the newer version features an upgraded control panel, means you don’t need to use your full wing span to hold the bins onto the lifter while one hand is on the buttons lol. I’m sure you’ve already figured it out but in case you haven’t, you can just fit x3 240s on the lifter, deforms the bin on one side on mine cause we got the runner grab handles in the way. How good are the Hinos too, I love how the hazard toggle switch is on the steering stalks, better then leaning across the dash to flick em on like in an ACCO lol. Just wish they had a bit more go to them, great on a smaller body like the compacts but a with a fully loaded maxipact body it’ll take you about 3 business days to get to 60km/h. Another quality video mate 👌🏻

      Sorry to disappoint mate, my last RL uploads were of JP5s, so I couldn't go and do the same again, just imagine the insanity on my part! Who knows when I'll put the Fretus JP5 footage up now but, could be in 6 months, could be in 6 years 😅 Yes good point about the lifter teeth, now that you say that I recall 157 at URM and remember being able to drop the bin however and it'd sit by itself. Guess I didn't realise with the truck in the video coz I've just been so damn accurate placing them in the perfect spot 😝 Funnily enough I never even thought to put 3x 240s on this lifter, so used to only being able to do 2x on the regular truck that it didn't even cross my mind! Don't have a great deal of pick-ups where it's necessary but, mostly singles or pairs, that job at 8:40 is where the most multiple 240s is found. I've wondered about the modern day 6x4 Hinos and moving power, even found the older single axles I drove at Watts all went hard, but that Auburn side arm was the newest big one I've driven and it wasn't too mighty. Would think 10 years later they made some beef up advancements, but perhaps not 🤔 Just as I stated my curiosity at the end of this video's description about using a Maxipact Hino on my run, well it turns out I'll find out in about 6 months, last Monday got informed there's a brand new truck on order for me 🤯 The old ACCO is getting up there in age and costly to keep on the road 💔 However, exciting times ahead with a fresh start 💘

    Once again you've blown me away Mitch another time capsule of Central Coast history. And I know exactly where this section is you filmed in. The last section of Kincumber before you end up in Kincumber South where it starts going rural towards Bensville etc. Funnily enough, this entire section you filmed in was cancelled and put onto the difficult access run for Gosford in 2020, which is operated by one of those mini axle 4x2 Accos. Permanent drivers got the shits with the section said residents ended up abusing cul de sac parking, full timer went around and wrote letters and left them in many letterboxes in many of those dead ends and no avail so he went on a tirade and got it taken off not only his run but the other 2 streams as well, rendering it only done from now on by the same bloke in the mini axle, twice a day (one load for rcy or veg, and return later for the garbage). I did this section in the mini axle in my time there at Cleanaway, and I can see why the big trucks ended up handing it in any saying NO F**KING MORE! Lmao. Who doesnt love a Series 2 with a great arm slam on a Euro 4 setup. Best chassis and body combination made imo. Shame nowadays we will never see such a classy yet simple set up in a fleet ever again. Central Coast just nailed it at what they did, trucks that never looked untidy and the livery, both the Thiess blue and Remondis black variants were always appealing. I miss these days. I was actually about to score the Gosford difficult access full time not long after I decided to hand in the towel there after 3 painful and dark years working for Clownaway. Won't name names or specifics but all I can say is thank fuck I'm out of that place...

      Typically these would operate around 900RPM. Not sure if Bucher still makes this bigger grab and as far as I know SPAK has always used the same size. I believe Aussie designed 360L bins are able to be gripped effectively by the Aussie made grab lifters, so upgrades are not necessary now.

    Wow I remember the first day the first box of waste went into the hole.. JUST WOW how the void has filled but would be excited to see just where the rehab and associated "proposed" cost benifits are now?

    What an oddball. The single cylinder is such an old school design. Looks almost like something computer generated from a movie

    Hey mate, absolute beast of a thing here. Also a very interesting lifter design which i quite like. Is there any chance that you may still have any more old Cleanaway Canberra videos? been keen to see some more, something i have also really been wondering when Cleanaway/Transpacific first started there, based off what i know i believe it somewhere between 1999 and 2002. Would you happen to know anything about that? Cheers

      Yes I still have a couple Cleanaway ACT videos to come, one of a single axle MkIV/Hino on garbage and another single axle SPAK/Hino on recycle. The previous Thiess and BFI contracts for garbage and recycling started in Dec 1994, both went for 7 years initially, but they must have been extended for a certain period. I did a rego check on a few Cleanaway Hinos and it shows they were built in Dec 2002, further date info suggests Cleanaway may have taken over collections around June or October 2003 (or somewhere in between). Cheers

      @@AussieGarbo Amazing, back in the 90’s did id assume Thiess handled recycle, and BFI garbage? As a matter of a fact on google maps one of the old cleanaway recycle series 2’s was still sitting at the front of the cleanaway yard in August of 2016, completely stripped and everything. Would you be able to upload one of those canberra videos sometime soon? very keen on seeing it. Thanks

      Other way around, Thiess on garbage and BFI on recycling. I've been meaning to put up that last ACT footage, can't say exactly when it'll show, but I'll aim to upload both videos together sooner than later.

      Sorry mate, only QLD footage I've taken beyond Caboolture was of the Cleanaway trucks in Port Douglas, all of which is now uploaded across two videos, nothing else captured by me that far north. Cheers
