[wastemanagementsucks]

i miss those days of working on side loaders

[curotto7451]

we will all miss M331

[rjman159]

What was the picture at the end?

[Trashman242]

Oh he was just tipping the body up a bit to pull a palm frond out of the undercarriage.

[MitchellM15]

Very nice, very nice! The start-up song made me smile, perfect lyrics to go with it hehe Nice footage, shame she's gone - got anymore of it or was this the last bit you had? That last collection at the end looked like a bastard, some of those bags looks like they were stuffed with soil... didn't look very light - but made a good clip :D Enjoyed that early morning clip 3/5 of the way in too and liked how he kicked the button at 6:54! =]

[Trashman242]

Thanks for the comment!! There's some clips here and there (which I took out, leaving only the best ones for this vid). There's also some footage I thought I got last year including one time where he tossed an empty bin from ~10 feet and made it into a stack of other empty bins LOL! Think I lost this somehow though :(

[Trashman242]

Last shot was actually from the New Year's Eve footage ("EDCO M331New Year's Eve; THE BIG STUFF") with lots more stops like that one.

[Bdeta88]

I want to personally urge you right here to do footage of the manual EVERYTHING in Carlsbad.

[Trashman242]

Oh you bet I will :D Real high on the priority list!

[internationalRLfan]

what would u do if u saw m331 in a crap yard

[internationalRLfan]

scrap yard

Very sad to see another legend retire. With the age of these trucks also comes the cost of maintaining them, and thus reluctantly forcing it into retirement. Because they're so old, they probably have had problems recently finding parts and keeping it in good condition because the parts maunufacturers either went out of business or nobody makes them any more. It's a good thing we do what we do here, to preserve the likes and wellness of these man made beasts for generations down the road.

[Trashman242]

You're absolutely right, and that very likely is the reason, since Maxon's been out of business for over 10 yrs. Comment's appreciated, and btw, be sure to check out all the NorCal waste footage I'll be posting here in a few weeks from my Sacramento trip!!

[brad202684]

Maxon is still in business, just not in the refuse hauling side of the industry. They are a major manufacturer of lift gates for trucks. All of our trailers at Saladino's that are equipped with lift gates are Maxons.

[Trashman242]

LOL that's right, completely forgot that :D Oops...

[FormerWMDriver]

Well done! Sad to see M331 go... hopefully it gets sold to another company that will keep it running, I'd hate to see that truck ripped apart.

[laambro48]

is this at night or in morning?

[Trashman242]

Early-mid morning

[chillin626]

great video. nice to still see manual collection especially in southern california. 5 *****

[JBurk2322]

very good hate to see it go.  Are you going to switch to automated now or just gettin a new truck? How come it was dumping in the road at the end?

[Trashman242]

Oh this isn't our only MSL LOL! He's using a different one now, #44 which you'll be seeing video of soon. All this M331 footage wasn't taken recently, it was way before my videos of M342 and 364 and now everything I have of 44.

[Trashman242]

And that was just a shot of him I got while he was pulling a palm frond out of the chassis.

[JBurk2322]

ohhh ok ic

[garbageboycd]

I didn't know M331 was scrapped. How old was she? Sorry for your loss...LOL

[r6man2]

Trashman, I'm glad to see/watch one of your videos again!

Now what truck does this guy have?

I found two more trucks on street view... I emailed them to you.I think it was EDI 56.

Great vid.

[garbageboycd]

can you email them to me at christiandiazwebdesign(AT)gmai­l(dot)com

[Trashman242]

Thanks!! I'll make sure and check them out eventually ;) He know has been using 44, the MSL seen in two videos I posted before this one. I have literally TONS of footage to post, so stay tuned!

[lahluv]

nice job scott. not to take all of the credit and be a asshole but wasnt this my idea to do a tribute for this truck

[Trashman242]

If you were the one who mentioned it a while back, then nah, I had already planned this long before you said anything :D Nice try though ;)

[lahluv]

o. thanks cause i was not sure

[Trashdude220]

First to comment. I guess. This is a very good tribute. I wish I could have done one to Rainbow's MSL fleet. *****.

[Trashdude220]
