Recycling Truck Reviews
Brick Fanatics
“Another LEGO City mainstay that’s heading to new heights in January 2026, 60495 Recycling Truck looks like it features an inventive tipping mechanism within its efficient and effective build.”
BrickEconomy Expert Review
“This recycling truck stands out with its fully separated dual-compartment system, using a smooth sliding selector and split rear doors to keep materials distinct from collection to unloading, all executed with a sturdy, well-integrated mechanism. The build feels substantial and thoughtfully engineered, featuring an all-printed design with no stickers, newly updated wheel elements with detailed hubs, and two well-printed sanitation workers that complement the clean visual presentation. My only critique is that the front forks can’t fully fold... More away, but overall the structure, functionality, and finish make this one of the strongest City utility vehicles in recent years.”
