Adventures With Shane - Manual Garbage Collection

Enjoy this, cause you won't be seeing much of this. There are only 2 known places in Kennewick, or the entire Tri-Cities for that matter, that still have totally manual collection. Richland runs an RL but it's all carts and dumpsters, no manual bins in Richland. The only places that still use manual bins is this Senior Citizen Mobile Home Park and a shitty little trailer park out by my old house. Basin Disposal collects the shitty trailer park with a Pete 320/Heil 5000 RL. I have footage of that, but due to my unknown standings with Basin Disposal at the moment, I am unable to upload that footage, cause I don't want to risk getting that very kind crew in trouble. Me and Shane were lucky enough to be able to film this Senior Citizen Mobile Home Park once, but we'll likely never be able to film there again, because the manager of the park was pretty uneasy about us filming there. After talking to him for a few minutes, we convinced him to let us film that day, but I doubt he'd want us coming back very often. Which is too bad, cause if I could go back, I could do a much better job filming this =(

Also, there's a quick clip of the recycle truck and some odd graffiti we found while waiting for the garbage truck to show up lol

Anyways, enough talk. Enjoy the video!

This was filmed on August 27, 2010

nice stuff man! Id love to see a driver say fuck it and use the arm all the way through there haha and what was with all the stuff on the grippers? seeing as it was red and green assuming christmas themed grippers? lol

[TrashMonkey22]

@3amrepmike3 What I'd really like to see is when they use the MSL or one of the M/A's through there. And no, not Christmas themed, this was way back in August lol. It's actually a bunch of duct tape and electrical tape wrapped around wood blocks to keep the 32 Toters from falling in, cause for some reason just this particular Curotto Can had a problem with that.

nice. how come they dont use a carry can. well thats if they have any

[TrashMonkey22]

@lahluv I think they still have one sitting around somewhere, but this is the only place in the entire WM district that uses manual cans. The trailer park has a special contract with WM. The rest of this guy's route before and after this is all fully auto.

@TrashMonkey22 o ok. how long is he in this neighborhood

[TrashMonkey22]

@lahluv I think this whole mobile home park only took about 30 minutes. And there were probably over 100 stops. This guy is lightning fast! We had a hard time keeping up!

haha looks like this truck's from CA. Great footage!

[IWS15]

WM should just say screw it and put a few dumpsters in there

[garbagemaster1234567]

I know A LOT of drivers who wouldn't bother putting the parking brake/work brake on because each house only has a little bit and its all flat. It faster too.
