GoPro on a Mini Trash Truck - Collection + Unloading

Could this qualify for a hopper video? Maybe, maybe not. Here's a little GoPro experiment I made one Monday morning back in June 2020. Since then I've picked up even more speed and skills at covering these backyard/on-premise service routes. I've also learned how to edit and mount the camera on the truck better as well. This one took a lot of trimming in order to yield the final product you see here. Let me know what you think of this, I appreciate the feedback.
Also, during the early days of......yeah, that - we had no sorters at the MRF for health & safety reasons. Just bare minimum staff. Which is why you see mixing in this video. This was a temporary procedure that almost every trash hauler in the region did, until they could find a way to bring back sorters to a safer working environment.
Likes & comments are always welcome. Thanks for watching.

As someone who is about to start their own company utilizing pickups, thank you for this video. It’s very introspective as to how things are ran with pickups. I look forward to seeing more, good work.

very nice video

[@garbagetrucksofsanmarcosca]

Awesome video bro.

[@chrisflocco8084]

Seems like all the backing up into the driveways seems to be a lot of wasted time. Can't the people put out the trash and recyclables to the curb?

[@94tristen_thetrashman]

No they can’t, per city ordinance.

Where is this ?

[@wmautoreach123]

Awesome video! We do the same thing at GFL in Hartland WI, really cool to see other haulers doing the same thing. Just curious as to the dump boxes, who makes them? Again, excellent video, would love to see more in the future!

[@94tristen_thetrashman]

Thanks. I don't know who makes our dump bodies; sometimes I feel like maybe they were made in-house. But I know Allied Waste had some trucks like these out here as well. They're definitely smaller than the common Par-Kan bodies and don't require a full truck bed. And if we did have the bigger Par-Kans, they wouldn't fit into more than half of the properties we go into.

Drastic times call for drastic measures, pretty wild to see the trade off of the loads en route. How the hell is all that sorted?

[@94tristen_thetrashman]

Usually, organic waste is kept separate from everything else. At the material recovery facility there's a series of machines and people who sort thru the trash and recover different recyclables.

[@westsacramentowastetrucks]

Awesome video! What kinda truck are you in?

[@94tristen_thetrashman]

A 2017 model of the same truck you see at 9:43

[@irvinerefusetrucks1922]

Which city is this?

[@mrrandy1]

That lady says take good care, yet she throws away all these beautiful plants at 10:35 , what about those poor plants, so sad.

[@94tristen_thetrashman]

It was overgrown vegetation that needed to be trimmed.

[@minibinwaredisposaldude5641]

Shut up dude you say that about all the plants you see a lot of them are weeds and need to be trimmed

[@staintedcards]

they didnt mix in my area inland empire

[@94tristen_thetrashman]

Burrtec didn't. They probably took everything to the landfill and kept their routes the same to avoid rearranging their trucks & drivers.

[@staintedcards]

@@94tristen_thetrashman well they changed all the routes last year trying to cut down on overtime it didnt work they're still out past 5 owner is pissed well if they would stop putting up so many new homes they wouldnt be out late
