Ex-Allied Waste: Mack MRU Heil Python Garbage Truck!

- Happy 4th of July! Crazy enough, I’m only posting this video today just to fit the theme at 5:47 haha.
Seen here is the last Republic truck from the Conroe yard branded as Allied Waste, and extremely surprising that it’s functioning so well as a daily runner in 2022! These used to be super common in the Houston area, and state of Texas generally, but have since been distributed across the state, rebranded, or really just scrapped. This adventure was a real throwback for me because I used to see Allied Waste trucks on the regular in 2017 and prior, so I thought it’d be next to impossible seeing one in such great condition today. Everything from the early morning scenery to roar of this ‘09 Mack was pretty nostalgic to some of my older videos as well.
Conroe is a super neat division with MRU 7000s and ex-Santek Waste units (because Republic bought them). You can see lots of neat cart variety too, pretty much anything ends up in an unincorporated part of town as shown. With Eliu the master behind the wheel, hope you guys enjoy one of my favorite videos of this year!
Huge thanks to Eliu for letting me grab some footage that morning! Sorry it took so long to upload finally haha.

Awesome! Made my morning! Haven't seen an AW Python in a good while and I'm sure there are still a good amount running around the country somewhere lol. Love how the logo is pretty decent all those years and love how fast the arm is. Hope you can film some more of their stuff from this yard!
Thanks glad to hear you enjoyed! Allied is so scattered around these days. Definitely plan on finding more trucks out of this site in the future.
Love seeing AW still on the road!
Amazing vid Jay! Sorry im so late on the comment. Always a special place in my heart for that AW logo so glad you could film this. The cart variety was also a bonus and I will say the Houston area has awesome trucks! One of your best vids to date!
Totally cool lol, glad you enjoyed and hope to bring more Houston area footage when I have the chance!
Wow, an ‘09 MRU running as a daily in 2022. It just goes to show they don’t make ‘em like they used too! Great work! As much as I’d love to hop down there and grab some video, I know that’s damn near impossible. Hope you can’t some more!
Thank you! I know it’s amazing, I think the driver prefers this over the newer Peterbilts they have.
Can't say this wasn't exciting to see pop up this morning! Man, we can probably all agree that seeing AW branded trucks like this is a treat. Love how smoothly it runs and the fact that the logo is barely faded. Plus, whole truck looks great, seems like straight outta Georgia lol. Great work on this, awesome video! Happy 4th as well!
Happy 4th! Yeah I was hoping some people would wake up to see this video come along haha. I’m surprised the logo hasn’t faded much either
great catch nice quality were was this filmed?
Thanks, this was in chateau woods
@@RefuseDFW02 nice
Great video
Thanks bro!
this is one of the best videos you've posted, I could literally watch this over and over again, great vid, and also I saw an AW heil half pack last week, really cool to see aw still alive.
I rewatched my footage multiple before uploading lol, glad to hear you liked it!
Awesome video, loved the lid flips! My local Republic yard got a WX64 McNeilus Autoreach a few months ago. They still run the Allied branded LEU Autoreachs. Happy Independence Day!
Thank you! Glad to hear those are still around, hopefully you can catch the Autocar as well!
@@RefuseDFW02 No problem. The Autocar has the AW logo.
Outstanding video bro! It is super cool seeing an old AW truck still hauling today! The arm is a little wobbly but it still works at a pretty fast speed. I love the look of the black trim on the cab too and that old MRU roar sounded really cool as well. Also pretty neat that the logo hasn’t faded. Really glad you were able to catch this!
Thank you Andrew! I love the black trim too especially since it seems republic doesn’t really order MRUs like that anymore.
i assume this is still around and runs regularly?
@@Cos.1s sadly not, it was scrapped earlier this year
@@RefuseDFW02 No way. it ran so good for it's age. I'm willing to bet it was replaced by a boring newer python
@@Cos.1s yeah it lasted way longer than the rest of the AW fleet did! This driver was given a Pete 520 python
@@RefuseDFW02 520 Python eh? MRU was better imo
Great video Jay! Glad you were able to find this truck. There are not a lot of these around anymore and I see very few trucks with the old AW logo. Also liked the speed of the arm. Surprised how fast it was. Keep up the good work!
Thanks kian! Yeah pretty fast arm on this Python for sure
We got a roll off with AW, and a few Duncan trucks
Awesome video happy 4th of July I like this truck. This truck is a beast.
Thanks same to you
Great video, Republic services has nice durapack pythons and I wish they had more pythons also this truck almost looks like my first gear Allied waste side loader only diffrence is the hoppercover and more lights .happy July 4th!>🎉
Thanks, and yes very similar to the first gear!
