Truck 9s arrived. I put the camera up with the truck here. We still have the blade down. We have it totally open. I just want to look before we do too much more moving. I see cardboard weeds, metal parts and pieces. Is the camera image okay? Can locations find when you guys are in a good spot? We can raise the lid a little bit more. Truck 9 is you copy that traffic. We're going to lift the blade. You're just going to look in here. There's a bunch of weeds. Okay, so bottom red handle in towards the truck. Stop. Top red handle is out towards you.

Just do a quick visual check inside the can to make sure there's no containers inside that might be suspicious.
