Editorial Reviews:
Hosts Dave and Becky go behind the scenes at the garbage industry, getting up close and personal with collection trucks, then visiting a recycling plant. Kids see how all these machines work, and the program makes a sound, logical connection between this activity and dealing responsibly with garbage and recycling at home. --Tom Keogh

Summary: farce
Comment: this video was a farce to all garbage collectors. it advertised rearend trucks on the box but none in the video!! that's false advertising. their idiotic cariature was a slap in the face to trash workers in general. you don't stop to pick up trash w/o applying the parking brake if you leave the cab!! what if the truck ran away & hurt or killed someone? it's was a limited display of front & sideloaders. how can they forget the most versatile of them all?! the good old rear loader. it uses chains, cart tippers, kickbars or cables. also they could've talked about rolloff trucks or lugger trucks. it ws very limited on the trucks they talked about with their buffoonic shenanigans.

Summary: terrible
Comment: This is an awful video. Endless previews. Terrible characters. Disrespectful interactions. My son lives and breaths garbage trucks but he hates this video. He cries when Dave scolds Becky for her driving. I'm throwing it away.

Summary: Age-inappropriate previews; silly characters
Comment: I was really angry to see an animated Batman video previewed at the beginning of this video. The preview showed one character waving a gun and several scenes of fighting, including a vixenish woman karate kicking someone in the chest. I don't let my kids watch that stuff and really resent it being stuck at the start of a kid video aimed at a much younger audience.

The two characters in this video spend a lot of time clowning around and generally being a little dumb; we liked the "Where the Garbage Goes" video much better (don't know if it's available; we got it at the library). It has lots of truck and dump footage plus recycling plant scenes without the goofy sideshow act.

Summary: Not as good as the rest in the series
Comment: There was a lot more Dave and Becky in this video than truck action, which is the only part my 3 year old son cares about. This video does hit upon the importance of recycling which is a positive but I agree with previous reviewers, Becky is the dumpster and odor references get old very quickly. This is the only video my son has not wanted to watch over and over the first day we got it. Also, in the version I purchased 04/03, there is a long rather violent and gruesome Batman animated trailer that is not at all appropriate for kids, so be sure to skip it!!

Summary: Dave and Becky are at it again
Comment: Dave and Becky explore the world of garbage collection and recycling in this instalment that is typical of this popular video series. Maybe because there are fewer types of trucks, there is more horseplay than usual and less information. In contrast to a previous reviewer's child, our toddler prefers "There Goes a Fire Truck" which has the opposite tendency -- more explanation and just a few antics. The garbage trucks are interesting, especially the automatic truck that has an arm that lifts the containers and dumps them, and there is encouragement to recycle as we visit a recycling plant. We have about ten of this series and I'd rank this toward the middle of the pack; though it's still worth watching, our child views this one less frequently than others.
