  • I am very proud to say I am the manager of these fine gentlemen! The man on the back is Driver Willie H. and the driver in the truck is Art Y. This is one of our most productive and safe routes in the Tampa district area. These guys are amazing! And to answer a question below, for the driver to get in and out of the cab slows them down too much. The drivers switch about every 45 minutes so they get a rest period in the cab! Thanks for shooting the video and also for the safety tips!

  • @rheacreate hey 1 problem the lifter DID NOT wait for the truck to come to a complete STOP before dismounting from the rear step @ .25 seconds of the video truck kept rolling for another 10 feet or so

  • Why didn't the driver help the garbage man collect all the garbage

  • He's a very good worker - don't have many of these in Warringah unfortunately, they all walk :/

  • nice job! my guess is they were switching on and off. really a trooper!

  • now dat iz a steady pace i have seen faster

  • That guy is quick! Nice footage :)

  • WOW! Sure wish all the WM helpers on REL routes in my area would operate like that!!!

  • Now that's an efficient worker. Great catch.

  • Very nice catch man!!! Were and how did you get the SSI?

  • Very nice and fast!!

  • your welcome

  • @TheOTTO2732 He probably doesn't want to injure his back.

  • @FormerWMDriver Yeah, its a shame though that WM will not just get a cart tipper for this truck though.

  • guys a tank, cant wait for vids of you working

  • @rempledisposal Don't worry, I'm sure George will hunt me down. lol

  • @FormerWMDriver Cool, so I guess since George will hunt you donw you are not allowed to film yourself.

  • @mtr82952 Honestly - I haven't asked yet. I want to meet my GM in person first and see if he's up for the idea of promoting the company from within.

  • @FormerWMDriver Oh allright, then I assume you have not statred yet?

  • @FormerWMDriver lol it should be great

  • nice. Yea i was driving down a recycling route today of a wm mack le fel it was extremely heavy. never seen it that heavy even for a holiday. the guy said he startred early but was 2 1/2 behind. Plus he was almost packed out due to the amount of cardboard. I was going to get video but there was no place to park due to the amount of snow we got last week.

  • @nokia3750 Very cool! Too bad you couldn't get video... but I definitely understand - safety first. If you can't film safely - then it's not worth it.

  • Did you catch recycling ?

  • @lawnboy1010 Nope... recycling is collected on Saturdays.

  • @FormerWMDriver - Really ? , mine is Monday

  • @lawnboy1010 Yep, my yard waste and recycling is collected on Saturday's.

  • @FormerWMDriver - Nice , Hope you can get a video soon !

  • @lawnboy1010 Well I do have my one bad video of the recycling MSL. It's also the MSL in the Types of Garbage Truck 2 video.

  • Nice! so you eneded up getting one of those document SSI carts off craigslist? Looks nice. And damnnnn this guy collected that in less time than an automated truck could have even if it was all in carts! Great work to the WM employee and to you for filming!

  • @3amrepmike3 Yep I sure did - this is one I got out of Polk County - the guy had a ton of IPL carts.

  • @FormerWMDriver were they the 60 or 90 gallon IPL? Both of those models are really cool.

  • @3amrepmike3 They were the same size as my SSI... looked like older and new models. He also had a really old "shopping cart" cart. I should have taken a pic of it...

  • nice man. very fast man

  • @lahluv Thanks!

  • Nice, I am susprised he wasted his time picking everything out of the carts, and did not just dump them by hand

  • @mtr82952 Most WM crews will not manually dump a cart from what I've seen - they prefer to fish everything out of the cart - this is why I bag all the small garbage.

  • @FormerWMDriver Yeah that is true I have seen the same in my county from WM, yeah I bag all my trash as well, I think not bagging trash is a bad idea, even if you want to be more eco freindly, sometimes I put a 35g bag in a manual bin and dump my kitchen can in it until it is filled, but then it is still bagged, I just used less bags by doing it that way. I am susprised there is not a cart tipper on that truck, espesialy since it is WM they have plenty of money for things like cart tippers LOL.

  • @mtr82952 I agree with you 100% on bagging. If everything is bagged it prevents most of the litter associated with waste collection and transfer.

    You bring up an interesting point with the tippers. We have 3 haulers that are contracted to serve this county, WM, Republic and WSI. I know that Republic has tippers on their trucks. I can't remember if WSI has any, but I know that WM does not have any tippers on most of their trucks. With all the Toters out there... they should have at least 1.

  • @FormerWMDriver Yeah, they tell us to bag our newspaper here too for recycling, but that I dont always bad since the bags fill the truck much faster I will usualy just put it in the bottom of the bin so it stays in.

    Yeah I am susprised WM does not, my only guess could be since they did not pass out carts, but if everyone is just going to go get a lowes toter then they really should just get a tipper truck. In my section of the county everyojne has tippers, but only 2/3 haulers sell carts tho.

  • it ain't gonna be new when someone runs it over JK nice truck

  • @legodude24652 It's funny you say that! I was starting to wonder how long before someone hits it... cars are always flying by on that road. At least the cart won't move as much - so it's less likely to end up in the roadway.

  • @FormerWMDriver Yea. You never know some drunk asshole could always hit and drag it a couple miles.

  • Nice! Looks you got a nice crew lol

  • @internationalRLfan Yeah they are quick!

  • there where guys at wm when i worked there that worked and drove like that nice job alan

  • @THETRASHKING1 Thanks! I always like seeing people that are willing to work hard.

  • @FormerWMDriver he should come work here wm is hard up for everybody here its crazy
