Venice Beach Manual Trash Collection - L.A. City Rec & ParksLos Angeles Refuse Trucks2026-09-23 | Venice Beach Manual Trash Collection - L.A. City Rec & ParksVolvo Amrep Octo Front Loader Garbage Trucks on Park Dumpsters - L.A. SanitationLos Angeles Refuse Trucks2025-09-27 | Just a little compilation of 3 late ‘90s Volvo Amrep Octo Front Loaders collecting dumpsters at Pan Pacific Park in West LA. This video was filmed between November 2016 and July 2017 when these trucks still ran everyday. The West LA District Yard at the time had 4 of these Volvo Amrep Octo FLs (37008, 37013, 37020, and 37021) that ran everyday doing either bulky items or commercial routes (but mainly bulky). This video features 020, 021, and 013. It would have been cool to feature all 4 of these trucks in this video but the 4th one (008) was always on bulky whenever I ran into it. These have been retired now for several years.
Please sit back and enjoy these classic trucks at work! A huge thanks to all the drivers featured for making this video possible as well. Thank you all for watching!
For anyone who’s interested, I included timestamps for all 3 of the trucks featured: 37020: 0:00-3:42 37021: 3:43-11:39 37013: 11:40-19:27

This truck was originally an East Valley truck but was transferred over to the North Central yard where it operated for the rest of its life with LASan.
This truck was retired sometime in 2018 but got a second chance at life with a company named Emadco up north where it most likely still operates today: youtu.be/A13fvBTq7oA?si=r1XLupueNKiYwTyg. Although it was fully converted to diesel, it is still amazing that some of these trucks survived and still run to this day.

Where you can find a lot of cool trucks from various private haulers in the same area on any given day.
I filmed this truck back in April of 2017 in the Westlake/Rampart Village neighborhoods of Los Angeles on multifamily recycling collection. Just months before the RecycLA contracts were set to begin. This truck was a former MarBorg Industries truck before NASA Services acquired it. All the stops in this video are now collected by Athens Services under the RecycLA contract and this truck has been out of service for several years now, it most likely got scrapped. Please enjoy this quick blast to the past and enjoy this classic truck that was still running strong and putting in the work years later.

Here’s the very first truck we found that summer. Collecting greens up in the Beachwood Canyon neighborhood of the Hollywood Hills. We biked/walked all the way up to the top of Beachwood Drive where we were told this truck would be. Lucky for us, he was coming downhill so following this truck was easier than if he was going uphill. Big thanks to the very friendly driver for letting us follow and film. At the time, this was the city’s oldest full size ASL. Nowadays, that award would go to a 2008-2009 LNG Pete Amrep.

I thought it was one of the newer yellow arm Peterbilt 520 Amreps because those are on the quieter side and I don’t usually hear those until they’re a few houses down. But I never expected this. This was quite the surprise and I sure wish I was more prepared to film my can being collected but this will do.
Pretty cool seeing this truck collecting greens and in my neighborhood. Such a sharp looking truck too. Didn’t really seem to have any struggles during the time it was on my street.
I didn’t follow the truck because I’ve heard about this driver not being the coolest with other filmers so I just decided to film both sides of my street without him seeing me. I think it still came out good and there’s already a few quality videos of this truck out there on YouTube. This video definitely gives me the vibe from my 2004 footage my parents filmed for me when I was really young.
So please enjoy this unexpected surprise at my house! Thank you for watching!

This would be the 8th installment of this type of video. I started doing these back in 2017 and it’s crazy to think that in 2024 I would still be uploading a video like this.
Anyways, as with every other year, this video runs from the very first collection in January until the very last collection in December. Most clips were lazily shot but I think they mostly came out good. Most clips are of greens and recycle because those two streams usually come later in the afternoon after I get home from work. Trash usually comes in the mornings when I’m at work so there’s not many clips of trash in here.
A huge thanks to all the drivers featured for collecting my trash all year long and keeping my neighborhood clean. Please enjoy and thank you for watching! Happy New Year and many wishes and blessings in 2025 to you all! Thank you for all the support on my channel during these 10+ years that I’ve been on. It means a lot to me!

Like I said in the other videos, this route is normally done by a mini Amrep but the driver decided to use this instead and it was definitely interesting to watch this truck keep up with all the heavy recycle thrown into it. He definitely finished the route in this truck faster than it would have taken in the mini Amrep because he was able to knock out both sides at once and no need for those tight maneuvers with the bigger truck as this truck fit everywhere with ease. Pair that with a quick and efficient operator and a fast tipper and packer.

Filmed: February 24, 2024 in South Central Los Angeles, California.Fast and Zippy Amrep ASL Garbage Truck on RecycleLos Angeles Refuse Trucks2024-06-08 | On this day back in August 2017, I came home from school and noticed all the recycle in my neighborhood was untouched which was (and still is) pretty common but then I heard the zipping arm and immediately knew I had to go find who it was. To my surprise, it was my recycle guy in his old truck. At the time, his regular truck was a 2016 CNG 320 Amrep, 36228. This truck, 36510, was the one he drove before that and the one I grew up watching him come to my house with. From the looks of it, he definitely broke down earlier in the day because of how much he had left on this day. I remember way back then, he would operate this truck similarly to this. He would either rev the truck for the entire cycle, or free fall the arm. But I never saw him do both at the same time so this was such a lucky one time find. I have a lot of older videos of him in this truck from 2014-15 before he changed trucks. Another truck, 36520, came to help out and one clip of that is in this video. Unfortunately, this was the last time I would ever film this truck. This truck was retired sometime in 2018.
Please enjoy the video. I followed him until he finished his route and it was definitely a nostalgic experience. Big thanks to the driver, Joe Garcia, for letting me film as always and for all the years of service he provided to the city and to my neighborhood. He’s been retired for a few years now. Thank you all for watching!

A 2023 Isuzu paired with a New Way Diamondback. Funny enough, this truck has Iowa license plates. This truck is seen here collecting recycle in a large condo complex on a late April afternoon. This is part 1 of this truck as I got a ton of video (3 videos worth) because I followed him from the beginning of the complex all the way to the end. Usually the mini Amrep “baby trucks” do this route but this driver prefers to do his route the old school way because to him, it’s faster, easier to navigate, and overall more efficient. And I agree after seeing how quickly he managed to pull the route compared to the time it would have taken him in the usual mini Amrep ASL.
Very fun little truck to follow around and it managed to keep up with all the loads of recycle with its fast packer. Big thanks to David for letting me know about this route and for letting me follow and film him finish up his route. I think I followed him around for about 2 hours from the very first can to the last one.
Please enjoy and thank you for watching!
