So… I’m scuttling along in the South Side Flats section of Pittsburgh when I happened across this fantastic vehicle, whose driver was executing its function – which is to smash things.
A friend had mentioned this service to me in the past, but it’s best described by the ‘horse’s mouth’ at the company website: monstersmash.com. There’s video.
In a nutshell, they’ve got a giant spiked roller mounted on the end of a hydraulic arm, and said setup is used to compact materials which are already in a dumpster at a job site. Awesome sauce.

Beyond their absolutely fantastic cartoony style branding, the service is meant to save some space within the dumpster by compacting boxes, boards etc. Pretty clever, if you ask this humble narrator.
Also: Who doesn’t like to see a giant spiked cylinder tearing stuff up?

I didn’t interact with the driver, other than shouting ‘awesome’ and ‘yeahhh!’ at him while popping off a few photos of the action. The only thing that would make this better would be they also had a big mallet that beat the stuff in the dumpster down into dust.
COOL!
Back tomorrow with something different at this – your Newtown Pentacle.
