Recording of trucks collecting rubbish in Phipp
Street, London EC2, in November 2003. The recording was made on
mini-disc using a cheap microphone dangled out of the window of my
flat. I heard this sound once, often twice, a day when I lived there.

Not very good for a specific sound, but good for noise... and plus it is only a left channel mono sample. I would have liked to hear the truck drive away instead of being cut off so short.

Not very good if you ask me.
