Don't know if it ever made it to Canada or the states, but there was a real TV show called Eurotrash in the 1990s: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurotrash_(TV_series) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurotrash_(TV_series))

So these guys work and hour or two a day (they probably only have room for 4-6 bins of trash) then take the rest of the day off?

Can we have some info on the kits used ?? I presume the 1/24th Hasegawa splitty & Monogram (?) Garbage truck on V.W. beach-buggy chassis ?

The details are fantastic, right down to the snooty look on that Van-Dyke wearing fellow.

Do you suppose he's snooty because all three of them have to squeeze into that cab?

Another genius masterpiece!

Pretty much, it's the Hasegawa Pickup VW with the Monogram Garbage Truck garbage unit attached. I shortened the VW and the garbage unit dropped right in place, like it was made to!

An electroclash band called Chicks on Speed had a song called Euro Trash Girl that I love and immediately thought of...
