Just bought this toy and my grandson is thrilled although we can't figure out where the garbage bins need to be placed to be lifted up. The thrill is slowly being dampened by this inadequacy. Also its difficult to place the two bins back in the storage space; they don't seem to fit.

Hi vio12 - Thank you for your feedback on the Driven Remote Control Recycling Truck. We are happy that your grandson is happy with it. If you go to the Driven website, you will see a video that shows how to attach the garbage cans to the truck in order to dump them out. In order to put the bins back in the storage area, you can put one inside the other. They should fit easily into the storage space on the side of the truck.

Dominic's the Garbage man
My 2 year old Grandson loves this garbage truck. He watches the garbage men every week take the garbage and is so into acting out in details.

This is the worst truck I have purchased. It’s insanely loud. The door clicks when you open and close it with the remote and the trash cans don’t stay on when your manually lift them. My son is upset and this is super disappointing… especially for $50!

Not worth $50
My son has been wanting this truck for over a year now and so I got it for him for Christmas. We put batteries into it and he was so excited until he pushed the button for the back of the truck to lift open and it sounds broken. Makes super loud noises when lifting and closing and doesn’t sound great. It also sucks because it doesn’t let him lift the back without using the button so we will have to deal with the broken noises. The back also doesn’t lift very high. Wouldn’t recommend and would not buy again due to this. Not worth $50.

Back end of the garbage truck is noisy and doesn’t open all the way. Makes lots of clunking noise which I guess is normal.

Do Not Buy
Do not buy this product. I made the mistake of not reading reviews prior to buying. My son was so excited but it makes the most obnoxious clanking sound he was scared of the trash truck. I was planning on exchanging it for a new one until I read the reviews and saw everyone was having the same issue. Super unfortunate as my son traded in his paci for this toy. Not sure why target is still selling this.

Broken while brand new. Never worked
My brother in law bought this a year or so ago brand new from the store but the child was too young to operate it. He's now 4 and opens it only for it to not work at all. That's $50 plus dollars down the drain unless target will honor what they sell.

Hi carla - Thank you for your feedback on the Driven Remote Control Recycling Truck. We are wondering if you tried to replace the batteries with new brand name ones. It is very possible that the batteries ran out during the year the toy was put away. If new batteries don't help, please go to the Driven website, click on "Contact Us" then "Customer Care" and fill out the online form. We want all of our customers - big and small - to be completely satisfied! Sincerely, Team Battat

Orange recycle bin was missing. How does the back of the truck lift up?
Please tell me how to raise the back of the truck. Is there a release somewhere on the truck? Instructions are terrible! Please help.

Hi Julie - We are sorry to hear that you are having some frustration with the Driven Remote Control Recycling Truck. There are buttons on the remote control to raise and lower the back of the truck. See the illustration on the instruction sheet. If those buttons aren't working, even with new brand name batteries, we suggest that you contact us directly. Please go to the Driven website, click on "Contact Us" then "Customer Care" and fill out the online form.
