NorCal Waste---Heil Split Body Rapid Rail

It is with much pride and satisfaction that I now present to you the NorCal Waste Mega Series (2009)!! Many of you remember the legendary footage I captured around two years ago of this subsidiary of the great company now holding the HIGHEST percentage of recycled material collected in CA. (**On that note, I might add that NorCal waste is in the process of changing their name to 'Recology' to help in their long-term Waste Zero goal [see recology.com for more information on that]**) Auburn-Placer Disposal Service operates just outside Sacramento, CA and they really have a diverse fleet (as seen in this mega series).

The subsidiary collects trash and greens weekly, and recycling is sorted from the trash via a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF). The truck in this video is a Volvo WXLL/Heil Split Body Rapid Rail (RR). To clarify any confusion, he is in fact collected trash in BOTH compartments, there is no greens collection seen in this particular video.

I sincerely hope you enjoy, it's much harder than you may think getting this kind of footage. Therefore I would absolutely appreciate any comment (even if you have nothing to say...) and a rating at the least. Also be sure and check out coming posts in the NorCal Waste (2009) Mega Series! Pics of this truck will be uploaded to the CRT flickr group at http://www.flickr.com/groups/crt/
Thanks so very much for watching, and also thanks to the exceptionally friendly driver for making it happen!!

This truck must of come from San Jose after Recology/ NorCal's contract ended. It's a split body RR, it's on a Volvo chassis, it has those tri-grip gripper things, and the sign is a San Jose sign.

@WasteManTony Yes it most likely is from that. I remember hearing about that, wasn't the contract ended early or something? I have another video of trucks like this if you want to see it, type "Heil Rapid Rail Co Collector part 1" into youtube's search.

WOW nice video! i finally had a chance to get back on lol the hopper sheild on the co collecter is interesting because its multiple peices put together not one solid screen

[Trashman242]

[Trashman242]

Really? I got to meet him when I was filming this, he's a real nice guy as I remember! You should show him this video

[Trashman242]

Yep, completely agreed; would enjoy it more w/ revving but reasonable speed @ idle..Thanks again!

lol at 2:00 the can is backwards!!!

[Trashman242]

LOL Thnx.....Yeah, I was looking to do something with a four way split screen but didn't want to waste time trying to find out how to do that---ended up throwing that intro together in about 2 min. and I think it turned out surprisingly well :D

See my response to GatorJake on why he didn't do greens in the other compartment (think he just used both for trash...

Yeah, reminded me of some old ass footage or something...but wait a minute, isn't this camera hardly a year old (only a baby!) LOL!!
