This is literally the most difficulty I have ever had trying to figure out color coding for carts.
Heres what I could see...
Trash:
Light blue, dark blue (unless its a 60 rehrig, then its recycling) dark green (unless its an SSI cart, then its greenwaste) solid black (unles its a 90 SSI, ten its recycling), teal blue with black lid, dark brown, light brown (except EJ Harrison stamped carts, those are greenwaste)
Recycling:
dark blue (unless its a 30 or 90 gal, then its trash) any cart body color so long as it has a blue lid, and solid black SSI carts or black with a brown lid carts
Yard Waste:
Green SSIs and Ottos and Rotos (green EJ Harrison stamped Toters and Rotos are trash though) black or grey with green lids, and any light brown EJ Harrison cart (non EJ brown carts are trash)
I am sure there are plenty I have forgotten as well, or just didnt see in the area I filmed. The cart variety was just as crazy as the color variety there.
Anyhow, enjoy the video. He was finished after the last stop in the video so I was unable to get more. All other trucks in the area were done by the time I arrived as well. Filmed in Oak View, CA
