Thrash N Trash Productions | Peterbilt 320 - Labrie Expert 2000 Garbage Truck @TrashMonkey22 | Uploaded April 2015 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Last April, I found myself once again in the streets of downtown Portland, under cover of darkness, among all of the behind-the-scenes hustling and bustling that goes on every night to keep the heart of the city sparkling clean! I soon stumbled across this beauty - a nearly brand new Labrie Expert 2000 manual side loader on a Peterbilt 320 chassis, collecting a commercial garbage route. Waste collection in downtown Portland is quite unique, not only that it's done during the middle of the night, but also that downtown Portland has no alleys, so most of the commercial waste is carried out from service garages located in the buildings, many of which are underground, requiring the waste containers to be brought up on an elevator, before being carried out to the truck. It all made for some great video that was a lot of fun to shoot! I hope you all enjoy!
As an added bonus, I threw in an extra clip at the end, showing the truck that collects the public litter bins downtown.
I would of course like to extend a huge thank you to the drivers of both of these trucks for making this video happen, as well as for their hard work and dedication to keeping downtown Portland clean!
Thanks for watching!
