What's that sucking sound in New Wilmington?

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa.- A humming, sucking sound takes to the streets around New Wilmington this time of year and if you can track down the source you will find it comes from an unusual truck.

Kids in the town call it "Suffy"-- short for the longer nickname Snuffleupagus (a reference to a Sesame Street character). It's really a converted street sweeping truck that now sucks up leaves along borough streets.

The Borough picks up leaves from residents who rake them into the gutter and it's all free of charge-- one of the perks of living in New Wilmington.

Videographers Kylee Bennett, Jonathan McAfoos and Corey Emanuele follow the truck around with WCN 24/7's cameras for a chance to watch the leaf sucking vehicle in aciton.
