Waste disposal. Biglorry heads for the 'Hills' (open day) with Martin P!

Hills Waste FM 6x4 .jpg

Remember my recent blog posting about Hill's Waste wonderful Volvo FM 6x4 autos?  That's one getting nice and dirty above...Well regular Biglorryblog contributor and official BLB 'Keeper of the Flame' Martin Phippard has been having a rare old time of it today with the aforementioned company For he tells me: "Good Evening Brian, Hill's Waste Solutions of Swindon, Wilts. held an Open Day at their Compton Bassett depot today to show local councillors, suppliers and dignataries what the waste business is all about and to highlight the sheer scale of the Compton operation."

Martin goes on: "Most people attending were lucky enough to grab a ride in a helicopter laid on to provide aerial views of the site thus providing the chance to view trucks from a rather unusual angle! Not your usual BLB material but hey, what the heck!"
