Clarah's mom, Claire Kiblasan, recently posted a video of Clarah's reaction to the weekly visit from the truck.

"She started liking trash trucks back in May because we were able to find Trash Truck on Netlfix," Kiblasan said.

"She loves watching it. Every time she sees a trash truck she's so excited and she's so happy."

The video landed in front of the right people. Last week, Clarah was offered a closer look at her favourite truck by Hodge Brothers Ltd., a waste management company that services Labrador City and Wabush.

Cassandra Gaulton, the first woman at the helm of a garbage truck in the company's history, was there to show Clarah the inner workings of her rig — including the iconic truck horn. 

Watch the video above to see Clarah's tour of her favourite garbage truck.
