How Do You Eject a Dumpster From Johnny Jaws?

Sometimes you can skip the airbags and just back out of the container cleanly.

Another Way to Back Out of a Dumpster

When you're done servicing a metal rear-load dumpster with Johnny Jaws on your front-load truck, you've got a couple of ways to release it. Sometimes the airbags are the right call, sometimes you can skip them and just back the truck out once you've unlocked the trunnion bars.


In this clip, Joe Ruby walks the team at LRS Waste and Disposal Service in Illinois through one of those simpler scenarios. The wheels on this dumpster aren't rolling around, so once it's unlocked, the truck can just back out and the container stays put. Quick technique to keep in the toolkit when conditions allow.
