Garbage Trucks at Night in Chinatown NYC trashmonster26 2022-09-24 | Three McNeilus XXC rear loaders are featured here, working in the Soho/Chinatown area. This highly specialized model refuse body was beefed up from the XC (extra compaction) to be even stronger and heavier for the New York/New Jersey market. thanks to the crews at each of the three companies featuredFilmed summer 2021
GFL Rear Loaders at Colorado College trashmonster26 2022-09-17 | Two Mack MR McNeilus XC rear loaders are featured here in a picturesque college campus in the summer time. The first unit is a former Best Way Disposal truck, while I believe the second was purchased by GFL. Unfortunately I didn’t get to see the infamous “colorado squeeze bar” dumpster system that Gallegos and Ram waste used to use up in Fort Collins. You’ll see a mix of kick bar and winch with the second truck. Thanks to everyone featured!

NYC Demolition Waste Trucks 4K Compilation trashmonster26 2022-08-13 | Here are four severe-duty refuse trucks packing demolition waste in New York City. New York is the only place in the US where demolition waste like wood, steel, and concrete is packed into trash trucks. This material would destroy a regular refuse body, which makes it such a treat to watch these machines gobble it up with ease.

Allied Waste Mack MR Leach 2RIII Garbage Truck trashmonster26 2022-08-06 | The truck sounded too good to pass up so I followed him to this high rise apartment in Kendall Square. In the words of the driver: “this truck is the biggest piece of shit we have”, so I hope he has a new truck by now. This stop could have been finished a lot faster with a newer rear loader. Enjoy! Filmed summer of 2021
City of Riverside CA Garbage Trucks trashmonster26 2022-07-30 | Here are two trucks I found on a Saturday in Riverside. Apparently the city is so understaffed that they run 7-day work weeks and Burrtec has been hired as an emergency contractor to help. One of the drivers also told me they were considering leasing some side loaders, unsure if that will actually happen. Thanks to both drivers featured for letting me film and working extra long weeks to keep the trash moving.0:00 Autocar ACX Amrep Hardox Side Loader3:22 Autocar ACX Heil Rapid Rail

DSNY New York City Recycling Collection trashmonster26 2022-07-09 | Watch for the first time in seven years as New York’s Strongest tackle recycling routes in Brooklyn and Manhattan. 0:00 We start off with a Mack LR Heil Formula 4060 Split Body rear loader on the bottles run in Fort Greene. 3:11 Features a Mack LEU Heil 5000 on paper duty in the Upper East Side, steadily working through the 70s between Fifth and Lexington Avenues. In both areas, trash is collected three times a week, with recycling once. DSNY is a truly special and unique operation, perhaps best evidenced by the fact that Mack, Heil, McNeilus, and now Labrie build such highly customized trucks for them, complete with short bodies to park in garages, an unmistakable light bar, exhaust diffuser, spot mirrors, and much more. My appreciation and compliments to both crews featured.Trash collection youtu.be/gKmLGdbjMSI

Although there has been a lot of consolidation of haulers in the area, commercial collection is still an open market with competition between a fair amount ofcompanies. This video is by no means exhaustive, there are so many cool trucks in the area left to be seen.

Washington DC DPW Trash Collection trashmonster26 2022-05-14 | Featured here are four awesome crews with the District's DPW working in the historic Capitol Hill neighborhood. You won't find anything bigger than one of these single axle Leaches in the DPW fleet, they order their trucks short for some of the incredibly tight turns that they need to manage. I found only Autocar Experts and a GMC with Leach Alpha bodies, but the district also has some New Ways and Heils as well. I enjoyed walking with the guys and seeing how the job is done in DC. Thanks to everyone from the DPW I met that day!0:00 recycling 1:30 trash in the morning4:54 trash at noon packing out8:13 bulky item collection with a GMC
Athens Services Pete 320 Amrep FL Manual Trash trashmonster26 2022-05-07 | Since Athens has plans to automate their last manual cities of Glendora and Azusa, I thought it was a good time to post this. These guys were very impressive and I'm glad I got to see this style of collection before it was phased out.
S&K Waste International Pak-Mor Rear Loader trashmonster26 2022-04-30 | Here is a neat little truck I found picking up at a restaurant in Cambridge. This is the same size body and hopper that Newport Beach used back in the day and Burrtec Mountain Disposal uses today. Thanks to the crew!
Harvard University Pete 220 Heil PT1000 Rear Loader trashmonster26 2022-04-09 | I ran into this truck driving through Cambridge last summer. These replaced the New Way Mamba MSLs that they used to have. In addition to five of these trucks, Harvard uses Republic for some of their trash and recycle and Save That Stuff for organics.
Save That Stuff Mack LR Heil 5000 Rear Loaders trashmonster26 2022-03-19 | Here are two of the four trucks that STS uses for the Cambridge recycling contract. All are manned by just one operator, unlike their counterparts at the DPW collecting trash on the same streets.
EDCO Volvo CWS Front Loader #580 trashmonster26 2022-03-12 | One of EDCO's hand-built front loaders from California Welding Services. They still have a number of these left running out of their new yard in Mira Mesa, with new steel on the bottom half of the body walls and a fresh coat of paint.

EDCO Autocar WX Bridgeport Ranger ASL M432 trashmonster26 2022-02-19 | Here’s one of EDCO’s many 2004 Autocars up in San Marcos talking care of a trash route. Since these trucks are on their way out I thought it would be worth grabbing a video, plus the driver was revving really nicely and this neighborhood is chock-full of older carts. Thanks to him for letting me film!
Brand New CCC Pak-Mor R225B RL Collecting Recycle in OB trashmonster26 2022-02-12 | Watch this athletic and dedicated crew knock out a heavy recycle route near the beach Some fun facts about this truck: It is a 2018 and the City put it into service on 1/22/2019. It was purchased through the local Pak-Mor dealer Ray Gaskin Service for a whopping $338,108.99! For those who are wondering:R = Rear2 = 2yd hopper 25 = 25yd bodyB = ???

San Diego Diesel Pete Amrep Slamming on Recycle trashmonster26 2022-01-15 | Here is a little throwback from 2016. This was before the City of San Diego got their first CNG trucks. Bonus points if you can name the neighborhood this was filmed in.
Garbage Trucks of Cambridge, MA – THE WORKS trashmonster26 2022-01-08 | Home to Harvard and MIT, full of tri-story apartments and one-way streets, and being one of the only cities in the state to run their own fleet of trash trucks, Cambridge DPW is truly a unique operation. Not to mention the unapologetically old-school orange rear loaders with the no-BS logo. For trash and organics, the City runs 20-yard McNeilus HD rear loaders on single-axle International and Freightliner chassis. I was fortunate to find two amazing crews last summer, tossing cans with rhythm and coordination.For recycling and yard waste, the City contracts out to Save That Stuff, who runs four Heil 5000 rear loaders on Mack LRs, bought specifically for the contract. Thanks to all the drivers featured for hustling day and putting on a great show. Shout out to Esteban, Troy, and the guys on truck 32.

AVCO Disposal Volvo WX Pak-Mor R200B Rear Loader trashmonster26 2021-12-18 | I’m proud to present what I’m convinced is an ex-San Diego bulky cleanup truck. Even if it isn’t from there, it was a real treat to catch this thing munching on couches, mattresses, and a toilet bright and early one morning last winter in the middle of nowhere. Thanks to Eli (SoCal Garbage Trucks) for showing me around this strange but beautiful place.
Athens Services Autocar ACX Heil Freedom FLs trashmonster26 2021-12-04 | In honor these routes soon being automated, I wanted to feature some video of these guys working in Azusa and Glendora. Ironically, this was filmed three or four weeks before Temple City when automated but I never made it out there. You’ll see Tristen, (enthusiastically nicknamed “YouTube” by his coworkers) and a few other crews doing the good work with 2014 and 2017 models of Heil’s lightweight California front loader.Filmed May 4th and 5th, 2021

This video shows mostly 3 yard bins being tipped - skip to 7:27 to see some bag-tossing action!Thanks to the guys in this video for being friendlier than usual and putting on a good show. Filmed in the summer of 2019.Fun fact: the members of Aerosmith used to live on this route in the early 70s
CR&R Autocar WX Heil Rapid Rail Refuse Truck trashmonster26 2021-10-23 | Here’s one of CR&R of Colton’s residential trucks in a depressingly sterile suburb of Loma Linda, where every house looks the same and every house has the same carts. I opted not to film the recycle truck because it was slow and boring. CR&R’s Colton yard runs a number of Ex-Consolidated trucks such as this one. They operate a MRF where the neighboring City of Redlands fleet dumps recycling, and I believe both trash and yard waste goes up to Burrtec’s East Valley Transfer site in San Bernardino. Thanks to the driver for letting me film!
Burrtec Autocar ACX Amrep Octo Flying through Rialto trashmonster26 2021-10-16 | Back in February I was lucky enough to catch Alex in what is probably the fastest ASL in Burrtec’s fleet today. He took full advantage of the lack of RPM cutouts, picking up cans at a breakneck speed, easily outpacing his coworker in the ex-Sacramento County hardox.

Skip to 2:45 for a surpriseI created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (http://www.youtube.com/editor)
EDCO Autocar WX Bridgeport Front Loader in Ocean Beach trashmonster26 2021-08-28 | One of many 2005ish wide cab Autocar WXs that EDCO bought, seen doing commercial trash in the Ocean Beach neighborhood of San Diego. I included some shots of the dumpster moving to show how difficult San Diego’s alley routes are. Heavy, unevenly loaded bins are often wedged in tiny platforms, often right next to cars. Most are locked with a deadbolt. These guys do 3 loads a day, starting at 5:00 am and often not finishing until 10-12 hours later, 5-6 days a week. These trucks are due to be replaced within the next few years.
Ex-Cal Disposal Burrtec Autocar ACX Heil Python trashmonster26 2021-08-20 | Prior to being bought out by Burrtec, it seems Cal Disposal had a very strong relationship with their local Heil dealer. Just a few years ago you could find multiple generations of brown Half/Pack front loaders and 7000 side loaders rolling around parts of San Bernardino, but unfortunately this is the only truck left from that fleet. As you can tell from the squeaking, Burrtec is not greasing up the arm as much as they should. The grabbers could squeeze a little tighter too. But considering this is the only Python in these colors it was still worth getting some video. Thanks to the driver for letting me grab some clips!

EDCO Volvo WX Heil Rapid Rail M402 trashmonster26 2021-07-31 | This truck has seen better days. I don’t know what’s wrong with it (besides the loose belt) but it doesn’t sound good. These are disappearing faster than you’d expect so it was still nice to see.

1988 International Leach 2RII/ Packmaster - The Pig trashmonster26 2021-07-17 | This truck was featured on my channel long ago, and I thought it was about time that I got a better video of it. Ben T. Nickerson out of Chatham, MA uses this truck as a last-resort spare. She's got rust all over the frame and body, but she still fires up and runs well when they need her to. Benji himself refers to this truck as "The Pig", so I will too.I’m not exactly sure what the official name of this truck should be. The badge reads “Packmaster” but it appears to be an early 2RII. I think Leach just kept the Packmaster name on to sell these newer units, but that’s just speculation.Filmed Summer 2019 in Chatham, MA

San Diego Autocar ACX Amrep Hardox Garbage Trucks Tag Teaming! trashmonster26 2021-07-03 | Found these in the Carmel Mountain area back in 2018. Normally I'd skip these trucks but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to see them double team the same streets. With ESD phasing out the remaining diesels, these trucks will soon find a new home. Enjoy!
