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 $20 let alone $50
Had it for a week and 2 of the wheels fell off. The back also skips and makes loud noise. My son is so excited about it and very upset he cant use it anymore

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.
1 reply from Team Battat team - 4 months ago
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.

Buyer Beware
This is my second time buying this item, and both times, it was broken. The dump lift gate does not work and makes a terrible sound when you try to use it. If I could rate this product a zero, I would. My four year old was not only disappointed once, but twice.

Not as advertised
Didn’t come with trash cans as advertised. Very disappointed kiddo who has cried for 2 days over tiny trash cans.
1 reply from Battat Team team - 5 months ago
Hi there - We have some great news about your kiddo's Driven Remote Control Recycling Truck! The trash cans are stored in a compartment in the body of the truck. Lift the door on the compartment, just behind the driver cab. They will be there! Sincerely, Team Battat

Missing bins? Look closer
My son is obsessed with this! We thought the bins were missing. There is a side compartment by the door you have to open and the bins are inside! It took us a few days to realize but he was so happy once we figured it out!
