Garden City Sanitation | Peterbilt 520 Labrie Expert Dual Helping-Hand (

Here's a short video of Mike in one of Garden City Sanitation's 520 Experts that I shot back in 2022.

After beginning around 5:20AM, we decided to take the bus down the road to one of the Tuesday zones hoping that I would be able to catch #1232. We were thinking the chances were 50/50 since the last time we saw Mike on this route, he was in an Automizer so our hopes weren't too high. We biked past a street and whaddya know we see him pull into a court.

At the time of the video, he was regularly using truck #1232 even though he was originally assigned to #1231. Not sure why that was but I haven't seen #1231 since it was brand new. Nowadays he also tends to take out one of the #123_ series Labrie Automizers more on his regular route days than the Experts. Guessing that's done since they can obviously pack more than a drop-frame truck.

This was also coincidentally my last video I shot of a Garden City Sanitation truck under Pellegrini ownership prior to the Waste Connections buyout.

Special thank you to Mike for allowing us to film!
Enjoy the video!
