No biggie, but something you don't see every day. Some neighbours of mine had their wheelie bin out at the curb ready for pick up on Thursday morning. JJ's came to pick it up and tried lifting it five times before, on the last attempt, the arse end of the bin dropped out along with an engine block. Cheeky buggers. The truckie jumped outta the cab and took some snapshots before moving on.
I've heard that the truckies are supposed to whack a sticker (with contact details) on your lid if the bin is too heavy.
Can just imagine the bottom dropping out of the mafia's wheelie bin.

Ha! Good stuff! Teach those bastards a lesson! Of course in his report it will say he only tried to lift it once and on that first time the arse fell out of the bin.

I thought this was going to be another QLD election thread.

I am sure that block will be gone when some bogan claims it with a view to turning it into either a coffee table of letter box.

question is how did it get wheeled out if the garbage truck couldnt even lift it...

umm maybe the fact that it has got wheels? Not sure just a wild stab in the dark.

Takes a lot less strength to wheel a bin than it does to actually lift it. Try lifting your bin sometime and see how that goes.

What kind of engine block was it? Either it was huge or those trucks must have a low maximum weight limit because I can lift a 4 cylinder engine block + sump + head (alloy head cast steel block), they're not that heavy.

You know whoop I was going to actually say what you said but I kind of thought knowing that would come as second nature to anyone and everyone pretty much on the entire face of the planet.

Kind of like a WHEELY bin has wheels?

what if the wheely bin was on a treadmill?

does it have frictionless bearings in the wheels?

IT WON'T GET THE AIR FLOWING OVER IT'S WINGS TO PRODUCE LIFT

blasphemy

an engine block?

haha where do you live? ipswich?

i thought the go was to dump it on some random's lawn and post a thread on boostscruising

Last place goes to CSIRAC and 1st place to Taipan. Well played.

I'd say it had alot less to do with the strength of the arm on the truck, and more to do with the bin being plastic.

thought this was gonna be a thread about jjj

Expected a thread on Shirley Manson.

Disappointed.

so did I..

quite disspointed.


did they break up or something?

just like to say - wheelie bins are awesome
