The City of Glendale currently operates under an open market system. Waste Management is one of the many haulers here. I managed to find these 3 front loaders and 2 scout trucks all on this same street over the last four years passing through Glendale.
(0:00) - 203020 & 632028: Back in 2016, 203020 was one of the top front loaders I wanted to find from Sun Valley. One Saturday in December, Kevin and I were looking for 203020 before he finished for the day. The route manager on duty that day had given us an address of where to catch him at in the north central part of LA, so we booked it over there from the West Valley hoping to catch him in time. As we were heading south on the 5, we saw 203020 pass us on the northbound side of the freeway! I thought we had missed our chance of seeing him, but luckily, the RM sent me another address on where to catch him at. Kevin and I ended up waiting here on Orange Street in downtown Glendale with the scout driver, Chuy, for a few minutes before Johnny rolled around the corner in 203020! At the time that this was filmed, this was the oldest garbage truck WM was running in SoCal and one of four trucks from the old burgundy WM days. The sound of the truck was nostalgic to me and brought back memories of when I used to film the ex-WMX Volvo/Wittke in Arcadia in 2012. The truck isn't as loud as the 2001 Volvos but I was definitely a fan of this truck nonetheless. The original body on the truck was a McNeilus Century for those who don't know that. Anyway, watch as talented driver Johnny Villalvazo safely collects this massive dumpster line. He was almost full so he spent quite a while packing these in!
(11:55) - 213155 & 607854: About 6 months later in June 2017, I was in the area and happened to pass by the massive stop I caught Johnny at in December. Outside, Antonio and Armando were collecting the dumpsters here so I decided to grab a clip. The first dumpster they collected was an old Crown dumpster that WM had just started servicing once Recology started losing work. When this was filmed, 213155 had just barely arrived into the fleet as part of the RecycLA contract so it was neat seeing one of these ACX Amreps in action.
(14:23) - 214116: This past year, I again ran into Antonio on Orange Street in his new truck, 214116. Very skilled driver who has been working at the company since the Valencia Disposal days. I was happy to catch him collecting these stops with the bottom channel dumpsters, and even more happy to see green WM dumpsters still around from Sun Valley.
Thanks to all the drivers for letting me film!
