Recology Sunset Scavenger: Volvo Labrie Spare Truck!

[ACX009]

You know, I kind of miss this truck now, even though it had no home, it became my route truck for about a year until a new Heil took its place.

[IWS15]

does recolagy only run toters?

[ACX009]

@IWS15 Yes Recology only uses Toter brand carts. They own the rights to the discontinued EVR-I manual 64 and 96 gallon carts which is why San Francisco continues to get them while no one else can. Other cities under their local Recology branch n Northern California use EVR-II carts if automated.

Does Autocar still make the WXLL and WX product lines?

[Trashman242]

Cool! Love the sound of this truck, makes me want to work for them and drive one..5 + fav!!

[r6man2]

@Trashman242 Yeah, me too lol. Thanks Scott

If it wasn't for the faded Sunset Scavenger sign on these trucks and the fact that I've known of them for the last million years, I wouldn't think they were old. This split MSL collection method continues to interest me, and I bet if I showed some of the Aussie drivers this, they would be totally stumped! lol Seeing the parked cars and the carts on the kerbside, I wonder what would happen if there was no gap between cars to move the carts to the truck for a decent distance? hehe :P Nice work!!!

[r6man2]

@MitchellM15 Thanks for your insight Mitch! You should show them

[KennysTrucks]

[bdmcneilusmsl]

Good vid! Sure is a slow truck! I ALMOST got Recology!

[r6man2]

@bdmcneilusmsl Thanks. what do you mean?

[bdmcneilusmsl]

@r6man2 Well, when I went to CA I was SO close to finding the recology truck!

[mcbombtings]

Not a bad looking spare...tipper seems a little slow though!

[r6man2]

@mcbombtings Thanks Chris, yet it was.

[ACX009]

Wait, is this X06?

This truck was actually brand new when it converted into a spare. xD

[ACX009]

Nice! Props for braving the cold weather as well. =D

Haha it's nice to have a good surprise in the morning isn't it, even though it wasn't all that good...

[r6man2]

@ACX009 Thanks! Yep X06... still looks old to me tho.. how long ago was that

[ACX009]

@r6man2 I think it's an '03, I remember seeing it years ago before it even had a route number or even the Sunset Scavenger sign on it and it was brand new at the time. Guess it never found a permanent route to call home. =/

On the bright side this truck gets to travel or bum around the yard a lot. BD

[r6man2]

@ACX009 Cool.. thanks for the info

[r6man2]

@TheOTTO2732 Thanks! Not always, as you will see later in da series :)

[TheOTTO2732]

@r6man2 yeah lol!!
