man, back to the good old days. when I was growing up waste management had the old mack mcneilus rl's picking up in my neighborhood. what I wouldn't give to see video from the early '80s.
I believe this is one of the old USA Waste trucks, back when Waste was originally burgundy and white...They adopted the green and yellow when USA Waste bought them out, but they kept Waste Mgmt as the name.
@ThaThunderStorm yes you are correct but that was not their color schem they had a white strip and the low bottem of the truck (refer to 7AlliedWaste6 flickr) the did not have a green and yellow strip across their trucks
waste management here got front end trucks like that they got a few news 1s waste management bought bfi out here 11 years ago 4 8 yds must love the room that takes up
Yer. The colour scheme on the cab was the original! :) nice to see that. We had Waste Management Inc in Australia nefore the merger! Excellent Job! Brings back merories! Can u please get more of this truck! I love the sound!
wow, that definitely is an older mcneilus and while I love a growling engine, that cab didn't look like it was in the best of conditions either,so yep I would agree thunder, has to be a spare, keep the vids a coming, who knows you might be able to catch the driver using his regular truck again, soon.
the colors were green and white

Why does it sound like it gives out every tine the packer goes out?

If the truck were in really good condition, I'd give anything to drive it just for that beautiful sound! Going to the favorites, this one!!

Just needs new fenders and a fresh coat of paint, still running strong though.
