Introduction: Garbage Man Costume
The truck was built from plywood and mounted on a garden cart, my sister and I painted the body, and we had the decals printed at our local print shop. The steering wheel is from an old toy car he had outgrew and we just mounted it in the cab. The headlights are simple stick-on nightlights and the grill is just a black square painted on the front with two cooling racks from the Dollar General store. The beacon light on top was found in my grandpa's shed and we mounted a garbage can in the back of the truck which housed a battery that we wired the light to.

This is awesome! I'm going to have to show this to my brother who works for Waste Management. It would make for a great project for my 2 year old nephew!
