Great job! This is pretty cool,but if the truck was full,why didn't he dump it? And why don't they use dumpsters here? By the way,you say this was in Solana Beach the previous day. I thought WM had Solana Beach?
@RecologySMCKid I answered the question several times already you can find it if you look through the comments.
Not enough is produced in a week to warrant the use of a dumpster. Plus dumpsters take much more room.
The truck was working in Solana Beach the day before yes, and EDCO has some commercial stops in the city. So he was doing apartments/commercial/some recycle bins at the beach itself I believe.
Gotta love semi-auto collection, especially recycling. Seems like the driver was really desperate for space in that truck if it was already used the day before on a full sized route. Absolute great job.
@RainbowDisposal Yeah well the thing is, the transfer station in Escondido was way out of the way from where his Monday route is, and the Tuesday one is much smaller (as well as closer to Escondido), so it totally makes sense to just work harder on this and pack it all tighter into one load.
I'm very impressed with the 1stream comercial recycling they hav! Not many commercial routes I've seen hav this program. But, he sure doubled da amount of work crinkling up da boxes before dumpin em in da hopper...
While I do enjoy this driver's OCD with how the stuff gets packed, he sure did take his sweet time at that first stop. :-p Was he just uncomfortable with the crusher panel? Why do you think he kept stuffing the hopper by hand?
@shadofax96 Yeah pretty liberal with those pack cycles haha...the reason is the blade does not retract the entire way. Combine that with the truck already being full, which means stuff is always hanging out of the body into the hopper, and you now have an even 'smaller' hopper. He was shifting the material around trying to get it to actually fall low enough so that it would even be caught by the packer.
So you mentioned he ran manual recycling the day before, manual as in tubs? A video of that would be awesome if possible.
Nice footage, thanks for posting :) Looks like for the most part there isn't a lot of contamination either. Some places it seems like the "recycle" is all bags of garbage.
@TheTransitCamera I kinda misspoke haha, sorry. More of this. BUT, they do have some random mobile home parks and other (small) neighborhoods with crates used for recycle. I think Bridgeport MSLs tend to do most of that. If you want to search "EDCO bridgeport msl on manual recycling", there already is some footage of one such place online.
Maybe I'm too hopeful, but I was well disappointed with the things the people on this route thought were recycling. But guess you're right.
Nice! don't believe I've ever seen Rotos being tipped. Very interesting to see that. I really wish LA still had those Wayne satellite MSLs, but unfortunately they got rid of them about a year ago :(. Also I think a bigger hopper on this truck would help a lot, but that would be a VERY hard modification to do. Also is that red cart at 10:17 the same kind you can find in Encinitas? I've seen a couple of them over there, but I don't know if they're Edco or what
@WasteManTony Yeah there are a few changes in terms of truck use that EDCO could make on this route if they cared about making it go faster. But generally not worth it since carts for commercial recycling are fairly uncommon.
I'm sure Encinitas has those red versions, some of the older apartments across north county still have them, and I remember the paper carts were black. But that would be EDCO, since they pretty much control that city too.
Very cool video Scott...I have been waiting to see something like this for quite some time! Thanks! Do you know if EDCO uses all Diamondback Lifters on their MSL's like this one? Very cool to see those carts tipped as well. Hopefully you can post some pics on flickr of tipper wear on those carts from that lifter as I'm unfamiliar with it.
@mcbombtings This is actually a Toter tipper! And I know as far as the recently-installed tippers, yes; it is what they prefer. Not a bad tipper from what I've seen, maybe a little weak but they do ok. I haven't looked real closely at the tipper wear but it seems like it would be similar to that given by Bayne TL series as it's kind of similar. I'll try to remember that next time I'm in the area, so I can take some for you and then post them. Thanks for commenting!
Yes people coffee pots ARE recyclable, just plastic and glass. And if you all want that red rehrig, you're gonna have to fight to get it! HA. And hell if you think this is packed out, you should see how Danny packs out. He's incredible at it. With luck I'll find him soon! I hope you guys film more of this system, it's quite cool I think. Great job!
I like how you zoomed in on the lid stops at 7:14 , if you didnt know lids stops on the rotos are pretty shitty. you can easily break them off. like on the can you looked at, if you keep forcing the top back constantly they eventually just fall off. or you can pretty much just cut them like i have. but there are some rotos in EDCO that just plain didnt come with them, but EVERY recycle can came with them. mostly greens and Grey cans didnt. NICE VIDEO , i love the sound of the truck !
wow this turned out great! still amazes me how much more stuff there still is to get from that little ass yard lol! haha at 3:26 a coffee machine? i was teased so much with that tub of recyclables with him just takin stuff out then dumping it almost like a manual tub.... lol 8:32-8:38 "get the heck in there!" BTW that automizer i saw was ESDs! but they were just demoing the chassis :/ and Happy Thanksgiving!
@garbagekid1 That isn't really a "little"yard. It has like 50 trucks! Yeah,he probably threw that coffee machine in as a gift to the MRF workers."Heres a coffee maker for the break room" LOL. Yeah,he was kinda fighting the garbage. I don't know why he didn't empty the truck before starting this route.
Very impressive footage! Enjoyed it alot! Gotta feel bad for that driver. Recycling in an ASL is tough alone, now with an MSL it seems even more worse. I think DaDee should make an MSL with a Scorpion packer lol, hey, anything's possible. And a misleading red rehrig with the words glass on it yet there's freakin' pizza box and other misc. crap.
@TheTrashman97 No that was just from when they had dual stream recycling for apartments. They were color-coded but now everything is single stream. Thanks I agree, it was cool to see Rotos being tipped
AMAZING! I have NO words to describe this! LOVED that red rehrig! Didn't even know they had them! I need it! lol jk This was amazing! Really loved this video! One of my fav ones!
@staintedcards Either he finished very late and didn't have time / want to drive all the way up to Escondido, or the truck wasn't full enough to make it worth doing this in two loads. Because on Tuesday mornings he only has about an hour's worth of recycling to pick up, so it's easier to just tack it on with the load from the previous day. Plus it saves gas.
that truck is beyond loaded! since when exactally are coffee pots recyclable? supprised the first stop doesnt have a single stream dumpster. fantastic video! what is the point to those red and grey carts if everything issingle stream?
also, is vid 500 going to be somwthing you've already fimed, b/c i think i may know what it is :D
@rws676 You're right the first stop would be much better served with just a regular recycling dumpster! And coffee pots have never been recyclable haha
Everything hasn't ALWAYS been single stream. Basically that's the point lol
You probably don't know. But go ahead try guessing :D
If the blade went another 6 inches or so into the body it would make a heck of a difference packing I bet. Awesome footage here. cool to see recycling carts being tipped since you almost never do here in California haha interesting color choice for the glass carts (which clearly arent for glass now) its just a shame they didnt have red Rotos instead lol Were the spaces between stops pretty large or was it fairly easy to keep up with this truck?
@3amrepmike3 Or even better, if it retracted the entire way. The thing with these trucks' packers is over time they get lazy and the hydraulics don't bring them back entirely. But this one was wayy bad, packer's always stuck out like 6 inches making the already-small-hopper even smaller...
Red Rotos would've been amazing :D It was fairly easy to keep up with him actually. The first stop was far away from everything else but after that it was all basically on the same street.
kick ass job Scott rare to see a Semi-auto truck in SoCal and its recycle so its even more rare thankfully we are still semi-auto for recycle in ABQ i didn't skip any watched the whole thing BTW is the WXLL a Volvo or Autocar? again bad ass video
@Trashman242 yea i remember WM of NM was both semi-auto and fully-auto it was 05 they ended 99% semi-auto :( i remember most of our trucks 20 Shu-Pak MSLs 10 Amrep MSLs 5 Wittke Express 3 Staggs still in Western Waste colors mostly every thing eles was burgdany we ran burgdany until 06 your vids always bring back good times
I really like the flexibility that you mention - and its incredibly smart of them to install tippers. So this is a normal route? At first I thought it was done by an ASL like in Esco but I guess not! Why didn't they dump it out after Solana? This was awesome to see!
@r6man2 Thanks--yeah guess it wasn't full enough after doing the beach route or else he didn't have time that day before the transfer closed. He has done it with an ASL before, however all of those are used for residential (as they should be).
