What is loud, dirty, smelly and extremely fun to watch? A garbage truck, of course! Maybe it's all those automated parts that fascinate us...like the giant arms of a side loader, or the huge forked claws of a front loader, or even the big crushing tailgate of a rear loader. But did you ever wonder where these trucks come from or how they're made? Now you can learn all about garbage trucks in a visit to the McNeilus factory in Dodge Center, Minnesota. Get an up-close look at one of the most automated machines on the road and see how a garbage truck is assembled to efficiently pack and transport your waste.

Good for little Trash Truck Fans!
This is a good educational DVD for fans of those much appreciated sanitation workers and their fan gathering monster trucks! My 3 year old grandson loves watching the trash trucks at work and he loves this video. Its content is a little advanced for a three year old, it's kind of a promotional video for McNeilis trucks, but it's still very interesting and my grandson watches it several times a day. Think it would be more fun if it showed more of the trash trucks at work but still a nice video. I learned something watching it too.

Educational and Engaging! My 4 year old watches it all the time!!
My son is obsessed with garbage trucks!!!! He loves playing with his garbage truck toys and he loves watching the real ones work in the neighborhood. When I saw this dvd on Amazon I knew he would love it! With all the garbage truck "stuff" he has and everything he knows about garbage trucks- the one thing he hasn't learned yet is how the trucks are made. This video shows children the process of creating these high tech trucks from beginning to end while using language that is easily understood by younger viewers. My son loves watching this dvd and wants me to get him the rest of the videos in the "How'd They Build That" series. I would definitely recommend this to any parent with a child who loves not only garbage trucks, but loves to see how things are made and how things work.

Awesome DVD for your Garbage Truck lover!
Very interesting and entertaining DVD on how garbage trucks are made! This DVD was perfect to answer my son’s daily question, how did they build the garbage truck?! Product arrived brand new in a sealed DVD case. Great quality and price. My son and I have watched this DVD at least 10 times since Easter, no joke! I like how this DVD takes place in a more recent setting, maybe around mid-90’s compared to the Mighty Machines, taking place in the 80’s. I would highly recommend this DVD to anyone who enjoys garbage trucks or interested in how they are made.

Amazingly Informing
My son is obsessed with garbage trucks and since this is the only movie on Amazon related to garbage trucks, we rent it frequently. He loves the scenes of the trucks in action, but since he is 2, he isn't really interested in how the trucks are made. I don't think he understands what they are building. However, I now can tell you how trucks are made and the various types of garbage trucks. :) Not bad for 1.99 for a week.

Keeps him happy!!!
My son is going through a 'garbage truck' phase and this keeps him fairly happy, he seems to enjoy the trucks (of which there are a lot of)! He does skip around a lot but being as he is autistic he does that anyway and as long as he is happy off of wifi I'm happy and this keeps him occupied while we shop which is no small feat believe you me, when there is no youtube to what his garbage trucks he throws a FIT! In the few minutes I've seen of it, it seems like an interesting vid for what it is. Hope this was helpful if it was pls rate as helpful thx.

My 2-3 year old loved it
I rented this instead of buying it, and I should have bought it. My two year old and three year old loved it. They watched it about a dozen times before the rental expired. If your kids love to race out to watch the dump truck, just buy this one. I wish I had.

Not pure garbage trucks
I got this DVD for my almost 3 year old who is obsessed with garbage trucks. He loves watching garbage trucks on Youtube over and over again so I thought I'd free up my computer by getting this one. It shows the construction of garbage trucks and does some education about landfills. He really enjoys watching it but he and I wish there was more plain ol' garbage men loading garbage and crushing it. That is what he really wants and loves.

more info reqd
the dvd doesn't go into enough detail on the construction of the hopper/compactor section. it just shows the completed item without any exploded view of components.
