Revving Labrie Automizer on Trash

San Jose, CA trip 2011/2012!

Over the summer when I was in San Jose I saw this truck and driver, but I didn't film because I was saving battery and space for the green waste crew. Anyways, after that fast and revving performance I was hoping that this was this truck's regular route, and sure enough, it is!

This truck is one of Garden City's older Automizers, #508. They are currently buying Autocar ACX/ Labrie Expert 2000s. Their fleet is 100% Autocar and 100% Labrie.

OK so to keep myself from answering the same question over and over again, here are the companies that serve San Jose: Throughout the city, Green Waste Recovery provides green waste collection and street sweeping. In districts A and C of San Jose Garden City Sanitation provides garbage collection, while California Waste Solutions provides recycling collections. West Valley Sanitation provides garbage and recycling collection in district B of the city. So yes, in districts A and C there are 3 separate companies rolling down the street!

Thanks to the driver!

Enough said. Enjoy the video!

That truck looks like its launched many a cart into the hopper. Cool truck,and I loved that NorCal Rapid Rail in the beginning. I didn't know they had any RR's on Autocars.

@RecologySMCKid it has launched at least one into the hopper. They had/ve quite a few RRs on Autocars. But they had more on volvos

[RecologySMCKid]

@ACX009 I just realized Alameda County Industries has the same paint scheme and they have the same website design as Mission Trail. I wonder who they're all owned by.

[RecologySMCKid]

@WasteManTony I sure hope not,but it seems that way. The new ACX is upon closer investigation a Mission Trail truck,but the other one is definitely a Garden City Sanittation truck. I'm almost certain that Garden City and Mission Trail are the same company,as well as Amador Valley Industries in Livermore. On the LaBrie website there is a Condor/Automizer with the same paint scheme. I wonder if it's one big company or several companies owned by the same people.

@RecologySMCKid given that it is a yard full of just old trucks, they likely are retired. Those new Autocars are Garden City's.

[ACX009]

@RecologySMCKid The SF trucks were delivered through Livermore, I believe the supplier is there. Otherwise, find a way to check the date the pictures were taken. I think AVI is fairly new to the region.

[RecologySMCKid]

@ACX009 Livermore is serviced by Amador Valley Industries,and their color scheme appears to also be just like Garden City's. Here's the weird part: the Google Maps air photosd of the AVI yard shows a yard full of WM trucks. In StreetView,it shows that weird yard of Recology trucks r6man2 found. I have NO idea what's going on there. I'm sure two of the trucks in the Mission Trail yard were Garden City trucks. I'll post a picture on Flickr.

[ACX009]

@RecologySMCKid I wouldn't be surprised. Livermore is running the same load-out as well. Are you sure the ACX didn't belong to Mission Trail?

[RecologySMCKid]

@ACX009 They have at least 2 Labrie M/ASLs in their yard. They also have at least one Automizer on an ACX,as seen outside Dixon Landing Landfill(or if it isn't called that,that landfill on Dixon Landing Road). The Garden City Labries in the Mission Trail yard make me think maybe Mission Trail and Garden City are the same company. Their color schemes are very similar.

[RecologySMCKid]

@WasteManTony I saw it. Are you sure those are retired? What will they do with them? I see some newer Autocars in there. I hope they still use them.
