Allied Waste/ Old Pacific Waste truck is this the end? [Read Description]

[AlliedWaste76]

AH MY FIRST VIDIEO I WATCHED like it was the first time i talked to you

[dueltruck700]

hey awesome footage! i always wondered what company these colored trucks ran under...i love the paint shceme! There is a Volvo/Wittke FL around here that runs for a local company painted just like that..and i live in newfoundland canada!

[AlliedWaste76]

@dueltruck700 Laidlaw Waste Systems is were the color comes from all these were former Laidlaw branchs

[AlliedWaste76]

hey saw a nother truck with Pacific colors PDS Potomac Disposal Services has a bunch of old BFI trucks

[AlliedWaste76]

dident they sell a lot of there trucks on Asset Auctions ? my dad almost bought one so me and him can start a metal recycling busniess

[TheTrashman97]

@AlliedWaste76 wow that sounds cool, yeah they sold some from of the residential one only about 5 but they really got rid of the commercial trucks. they probably didn't want to waste paint so they sold them and bought new ones with the AW blue painted on them already.

[AlliedWaste76]

do they still have the Curtto can 1 the frist curtto can? and is any of them still the Pacific Waste blue color?

[TheTrashman97]

@AlliedWaste76 they have a couple (i mean like 4 left) and no they all are painted AW blue, for a long time. they were black when pacific was inchage. but painted blue when AW roled in . its mainly a curotto can 2 fleet and a slammin eagle fleet now.

[AlliedWaste76]

do they still have the Amrep MSL and didn't you say their is a few AW truck still Pacific Waste colors? and did you ever have former BFI trucks?

[AlliedWaste76]

did they convert any of the Pacifc Waste truck of just scraped them ?

[TheTrashman97]

@AlliedWaste76 some were recently scrappped. some are still in service...... for now..... :(

[AlliedWaste76]

I think Republic is doing the same thing when Allied bought out BFI

[TheTrashman97]

@AlliedWaste76 yeah some BFI's stayed BFI, didn't convert to Allied

[AlliedWaste76]

dam it when Republic said they would oprate in New Mexico I hope they oprate under the name of ALLIED and currntly we waste Management as our trash group i'll get some footage of my recycle driver Heil python he is the cooliest driver he let me ride in the truck!!!!

[TheTrashman97]

@AlliedWaste76 thats cool. I believe they might stay Allied. I think my yard might do that for a while then making the full switch but I wish you luck with Allied not Republic!!

[AlliedWaste76]

Great looking truck love the combo of Wittke and Volvo WXLL and Pacific Waste colors. hey what hell why did they take the AW off the side of the truck!

[TheTrashman97]

@AlliedWaste76 oh they didn't!! it just got eaten by the sun and faded!! that sticker has been on that truck for almost 6 years!!! and Thanks!!

[AlliedWaste76]

@TheTrashman97 do they still have trucks with the Pacific Waste colors I hope they dodnt change the AW logo and Allied Waste name to Republic Service nothing agents Republic lovers but i hate the name

[TheTrashman97]

@AlliedWaste76 I agree I hate Republic in Allied Colors. Makes me sick. Republic should have stayed brown and white. thats their color. They do have some trucks left but they just got rid of a bunch of them and converted into CNG. So all the trash drivers have new Autocar Mcneilus CNG trucks. Watch some more of my videos you'll see what I mean.

Oh and yes they just purchased 2 new trucks that say Republic. So in the next serveral years my nightmare will come true.

[Trashman242]

haha sweet vid, driver's quick, flipping lids, keeping it real :D Love the growl on that WXLL, very nice looking rig. Looking forward to more!

[ranger220022]

They were partners or same company?

[Dano739]

@ranger220022

Laidlaw was my favorite trash company back in the day...haven't seen their trucks in person since 1990( Laidlaw international sold off a bunch of its assets, including its solid waste companies in Florida and other parts of the southeast in August of that year). I imagine these Pacific trucks were once a part of laidlaw's fleet in CA. Laidlaw international sold its entire solid waste business back in 1996 to Allied, so they maybe Pacific operated under Allied all along..IDK.

[TheTrashman97]

@Dano739 well according to the general manager he says that Allied Waste has been working here since 1997. But I was like no because Pacific was before Allied so I was confused. So maybe you're right maybe they have been operating under Allied name

[TheTrashman97]

@Dano739 also they just announced Republic will be servicing here in a matter of months/years check out the truck on my channel!

[Dano739]

@TheTrashman97

Cool.

I just found an old clip from a super cheesy 80's movie here on youtube with some footage of an old Laidlaw waste systems front end loader . For those interested, check out "Rad the movie part 1". I think the movie was made in Canada ( Laidlaw was a Canadian company). Those were the good 'ol days. I'll look forward to the Republic vids. thanks again.

[TheTrashman97]

@Dano739 whats the title I want to see the company I've heard about but just never got the chance to see one.

[Dano739]

@TheTrashman97

The title of the movie is "Rad". I found a clips of the movie on youtube. In the first part, there is a guy on a BMX doing a stunt on a dumpster about 6 or 7 min. into it. Being that the company was sold before people were posting vids on the internet, it's the only footage of one of their trucks that I know of. I wish I had the presence of mind to get vids (even VHS) when I was a kid of some of these trucks when they were around my town years ago...oh well...

[TheTrashman97]

@Dano739 yeah your right Laidlaw Waste Systems very nice logo, never seen it before! nice color scheme reminds me of the good old days when pacific was around! then Allied to republic oh no!

[ranger220022]

Reminds me of LAIDLAW garbage trucks,the paint job does.

[TheTrashman97]

@ranger220022 thats what Pacific Waste was. Same colors (Laidlaw colors) different name

[FormerWMDriver]

Very cool video! This is like watching history. I'm very happy you took the time to get this older truck on video.

[TheTrashman97]

@FormerWMDriver well, after finding out that they were going to get rid of these trucks, I knew I had to get them before it was too late!, luckally my trash drivers regular truck broke down and they gave him this spare.

[cd8100]

there starting to get rid of the older trucks over here too

[TheOTTO2732]

I love to see a pacafic weste truck w/ cc!

[MrGunSlanga]

that was very nice video dude this my first time viewin your channel i will sub n send a friend request

[trashlover869]

ya my driver said kearney mesas gonna get the old trucks from chula vista

[legodude24652]

nice sounding truck!! too bad they will all be gone in a few weeks.

[Dano739]

Yeah, like I wrote before, I figured Pacific must have been a result of allied's purchase of Laidlaw back in '96 because the trucks look the exact same. Thanks again for posting this...great stuff!! Post more of these older trucks if you can.

[bdmcneilusmsl]

Nice man! Fast curotto can!

[mtr82952]

Very buce, so there never was BFI in your area, thats kinda odd LOL

[TheTrashman97]

@mtr82952 nope, but my area got BFI cans because Pacific Waste and BFI were partners, I have two of them in my back yard!

[mtr82952]

@TheTrashman97 Oh allright, sweet can you a make a video of all your carts? I do not think any one here even has any BFI carts.

[TheTrashman97]

@mtr82952 don't have much like 3amprepmike3 or reuterhunter but someday I will!

[mtr82952]

@TheTrashman97 Oh allright, cool, yeah I only have 6 carts but I have like 20 manual bins and 10 recycle bins

[3amrepmike3]

yea, ton of companies in california are getting rid of old trucks this year because of an emissions standard. Companies get some sort of compensation for getting rid of their trucks older than 10 years of age. So please film as much as you can, these trucks are really very cool and unique

[Burrtec100]

@3amrepmike3 yeah i went to my grandmas old neighborhood to get wm footage and all the heil and c&o trucks are gone now replaced with amrep asls and mc neilus with currato cans i just hope they keep the wittke s

[TheTrashman97]

@3amrepmike3 Its cool that they get new trucks but, I grew up with the old trucks, they're like a part of my memory, They're also getting rid of my favorite truck in the fleet which sucks alot!, I hope I can get it before times up, and I got more coming! So stay tuned!

[trashlover869]

ya i heard ther gonna do it all at once

[TheTrashman97]

@trashlover869 they might, but they have trucks that aren't even a year old yet why would you get rid of those too? get rid of the older ones first, is what I think they're going to do.
