“From Trash to Treasure” is produced by International Harvester Company in the 1960s. It’s a promotional film highlighting the International drop bull clam shovel tractor (TD-9, TD-14, TD-18) and the International drop four-in-one skid shovel tractor. The International Harvester complies with the sanitary landfill method of disposal as outlined by the United States Public Health Service. This method focuses on both distribution and compaction of water. The landfills can then be converted to new living areas, parks, airports, and school sites.
The film opens with tractors dumping trash in a landfill (0:07), juxtaposed with vacationers enjoying a warm day at the pool (0:18). Scenes of an unsanitary landfill follow, with burning trash and decaying animals (0:54), again juxtaposed with green lawns and housing complexes. A sign reads “A Future City Park” in Evanston, Illinois, indicating that the site is being developed for recreational purposes (1:30).
The film focuses on various International Harvester tractors at work. A tractor-drawn scraper scrapes the land, a crawler tractor compacts a pile of refuse (1:51). Bulldozers distribute and compact refuse. A front end loader distributes refuse, and a tractor carries the bucket filled with refuse overhead and dumps it in to a collection truck (3:19). Viewers see workers operating machinery in a shop (3:53), followed by a group of men in suits standing around a tractor. A worker demonstrates its functions (4:27).
The film cuts to a close up of the bucket on the International drop bull clam shovel tractor (4:56), which is built for larger full time work. It is used for digging, pushing, and carrying. Then the film cuts back to the International drop four-in-one skid shovel tractor (5:07), which is built for smaller community use on sanitary landfill operations, as well as part-time use on other activities, such as filling in trenches. The four-in-one fills a trench and loads a truck.
Both tractors are again seen working up a ramp (6:06). The International TD-18A is at work at a landfill in Tampa, Florida, building sanitary landfills (6:37). It creates a ramp, working about 30 degrees on the upward slope, dumping refuse on the other side. A collection truck arrives at the site to drop its load (7:43). Various scenes of tractors at work follow (8:13).
A bull clam shovel demonstrates the work process. It spreads the refuse and then digs, loads, and carries the dirt once (9:48). It creates compaction with the next load in its bucket, and then two tractors work up the side of a ramp. Another collection truck arrives at the site (10:17). More scenes follow of the shovels working over the dirt (10:54), and the bull clam shovel bucket working to compact the landfill (11:13).
The film cuts to a wide shot of kids at play on a basketball court (11:29), then cuts back to bull clam shovel tractors. The film then focuses on the versatile International drop four-in-one skid shovel tractors (11:58). A four-in-one builds a ramp at a 30 degree slope. The shovel compacts the landfill and spreads the previous load with the full weight of the bucket of the next load (13:07).
A tractor operates in the snow (13:22). A farmer sits atop the tractor, wearing a flannel coat and hat, demonstrating the gasoline starting system. The driver starts on gasoline, allowing the tractor to run as it warms up, and then switches to diesel and begins to drive. The tractor operates in deep frost conditions, using the blade to spread refuse (14:02). This is followed by a light compaction run. The shovel picks up the next level of cover dirt, and spreads it with a full bucket for full compaction, dropping the dirt. Then the shovel smooths out the surface area with the compaction plate on the bottom of the bucket. The surface is smoothed by back dragging the big, broad surface of the outside of the clam in order to create a tabletop smooth finished surface (14:51).
The film then intercuts between scenes at the landfill, and various shots of happy suburban life: kids sliding down a slide (15:42), a car driving down a paved street (16:09), a recreation center or school (16:19), families picnicking (16:24), families playing at a crowded public pool (16:30), and children playing on a baseball diamond (16:34). The film closes by juxtaposing these suburban scenes of with the International drop bull clam shovel tractor working up a ramp (16:49) and the International drop four-in-one skid shovel tractor working over a pile of refuse (16:56).

International Harvester TD9 was a super cool machine. Starts on gasoline and switches to diesel once it's warmed up.
This is a really neat film. Good ol' IH. I didn't know they made stuff like this. Such an amazing look at a great time.
Such a simpler time… Love these old videos!
Tampa fl in the old days 👍
Thanks ,Periscope! I've operated Cat and IH machines with these buckets and they sure come in handy in clearing and site work. I never worked them in a dump though. Thanks again!
Looks like the City of Tampa was using Garwood refuse collection trucks back in that day. Similar operation to what the trucks in Japan use today.
I've always thought it would be cool to find an old garbage truck and restore it
maybe they should recycle Gary, Indiana..or Detroit...
Not one plastic bag to be seen anywhere.
When people know better, they do better!
Nowadays they use wheel loaders with heavy steel wheels with spikes.
Known as compactors
@@garymuse9009 I walked amongst Rex and Ingersoll Rand compactors when I was a young man working in my cities landfill.. Scary machines.
Flash it into plasma. Separate out the atoms and endlessly reuse them over and over.
Seagulls missing..
Buzzards in the wings waiting for off hours...
Died from toxic waste
Died from toxic waste
Kind of hard to believe seeing a dead, rotting cow in a promotional film, but this was probably nothing to a nation of men who’d seen the horrors of war in the recent past.
Back when recycling was a bad word, oh wait, it still is. The guys running the machines here are the back in the day the ones that always told their kids, "back in my day"
The guys running the machines here are war veterans who learner the ropes carving out airfields in the South Pacific.
This was in an episode of UHF 62''s show of Fun With Dirt
Ever stop to think just how dirty dirt is? Why, dirt is very epitome of dirtiness.
You just can't get any dirtier than dirt!
"Dirt" spelled backwards is "trid". Which explains everything.
Obviously.
If they only understood the damage they where doing to the environment….. cause of theses actions there next generation can’t use that land due to toxic pollution 😢
they had to set the river on fire in Ohio to find out!!
Love canal anyone ?
must be a Fracking operation nearby........
0:55 seriously? seriously burning dead cows in a city refuse facility?
I run a dozer in a Landfill here in Canada.
Before we open in the morning we let farmers bring dead livestock in. Before we let the general public in. So we cover it before they see it.. way she goes hey..🤷🏻♂️
it's called a barbeque
City dumps used to just be a clearing where refuse was piled and burned - and still are in a fair portion of the developing world. All trash is commingled, every gust of wind blows material away, birds and rats are as thick as the flies. Landfills and daily cover were a major technological leap forward in the early 20th century.
@@iroll And now some dumbass ate a bat and we now have covid 19.
Then, any ol' dead critter DOESN'T end up in free school lunches?
Pfffft. Waste not, want not.
nature can't make waste...
Hey that's a good idea!Not!
KEY WORDS SANITARY LANDFILL HAHAHAH,MORE KEY WORDS, HAHAHA ! MORE KEY WORDS,FCKN REDUCULIOUS !
Sanitary landfill probably has more meaning today. With better planning and Leachate and gas collection systems in place it's better then old time landfills where stuff was just dumped anywhere. It's not 100% but better then the old days.
