The Tuesday Route in Poway

Here's a decent compilation I put together from meeting up with garbagekid1 in Poway, CA. This is being uploaded so soon after it was filmed for a particular driver named Victor, so that he can show it to his family. A huge thanks goes out to every one of the drivers who work in Poway, particularly the hard-working yard waste drivers. They all enjoy what they do and don't mind residents who set out 20-30+ bins or bags EACH week. These drivers have stood out to me as being the friendliest EDCO employees (and I have met quite a few), and by all means I strongly feel that if anybody deserved a raise at EDCO, it should be them. You'll see these guys smile and wave to residents on a daily basis, as they hurry through their routes. Very, very commendable people who work in the city of Poway, and I'm reminded of that each time I go there. So a THANK YOU goes to EDCO and all of the amazing employees who work in this city. This video shows what they deal with every single Tuesday.

Great job!! How many yards does EDCO own?

[Trashman242]

@internationalRLfan Well in San Diego County, you can say six. But then there would be around 3 more in Orange County/Riverside which aren't technically Burrtec. But most of that stuff up north is all just Burrtec.

@r6man2 Yep that was good of him :D

@r6man2 Nobody let us film there / drivers were finishing their routes. Even though we found like 5 different PODs

@Trashman242 I see. Great to see Steve commenting on the videos : )

[r6man2]

@Trashman242 What happened?

[Trashman242]

@garbagekid1 lol sorry for getting in so many of your clips (especially on that more-recent trip...recycling footage...that's all I will say lol)

Yeah looking back on that truck 534 we really shoulda filmed him more lol that truck was great :D

@legodude24652 And I didn't even include all the different trucks on green waste for the Tuesday route in this vid! There's two other FLs alone. Thanks for the words..

[Trashman242]

@3amrepmike3 Every one of those manual drivers in this vid are great people! And yeah, my respect for WM went way down that day.

@r6man2 Thanks for the comment! There are three FLs and 2.5 MSLs (at least for the Tuesday route, on greens). I say "2.5" because one works for half the day, and then the same driver exchanges his truck for an ASL and does trash in the pm. A lot of the other day routes are normally like that too though, drivers moving around on different trucks in one day..
