Great video! GFL Environmental is an awesome company and I love seeing all the different types of garbage trucks they have. They now have a large new fleet of new ASL's and rear loaders especially since GFL got the Etobicoke residential contract in 2023. All new trucks are being used in Etobicoke. Many of the older GFL waste collection trucks are still being used in the former City of York and the adjacent North York and I really like seeing those older trucks! As for the newer trucks, I am still getting used to the new 6-digit numbering system GFL is using on the trucks. Of interest, those new rear loaders they have are all single-hopper rear loaders--- not dual compartment rear loaders like many of the older trucks. Maybe they had issues with the dual-compartment packer mechanisms??? All of those new GFL rear loaders are McNeilus. There are no LEACH trucks..... I don't think GFL has those (commercial collection) LEACH rear loaders anymore as I haven't seen one in ages. As for those "714-series" rear loaders seen in your video, we had one in our subdivision yesterday doing the green bins but I can't remember which truck it was. I'm still getting used to seeing the new numbering system. If you like GFL truck spotting on the streets, now that Etobicoke is GFL, on a typical Friday that is grey (garbage) bin, yard waste, etc..., EVERYTHING south of Wilson Av. from Dufferin St. clear out to Kipling is the same (i.e. grey bin, yard waste, etc...), and west of Kipling westward is the opposite (i.e. Blue Bin recycling). The bin set out along the streets literally goes on forever and is a GFL truck spotting bonanza! GFL does a remarkable job with all of that territory and I wonder how they can service such a HUGE area all in one day! GFL rocks! Sorry so lengthy!
If I may reply to your Comment.... The MACK LEU's (i.e. 8272 to 8277) are CNG trucks. As for spotting them, it depends on where you are at in the GTA. They are seen in the former City of York, Weston and the adjacent North York. Whenever a MACK LEU ASL is in our subdivision, they are usually emptying the Green Bins.
@@charlieholman5967 Yes! I remember those--- we had 8112 on my street on a regular basis but that was MANY years ago and I had totally forgotten about those trucks (e.g. 8112, 8117...)! I wonder if GFL still has those trucks here in Toronto. They might have been moved to another region or maybe even to the U.S.. Thanks for jogging my memory! -- John
@@johnwoa(update) They still have them at the yard, but they have been parked siting there for a long time. The McNeilus autoreach ASL’s trucks might be no longer in service.
@@WPOC_REFUSE890 Interesting! I always look at the GFL truck numbers in my subdivision on waste collection day. It's quite interesting as there are many different GFL trucks that are down here in York/Weston/North York. The Etobicoke GFL contract has ALL NEW trucks and we still have many of the older trucks where I live, but that's okay as I particularly love watching the older GFL rear loaders. -- John

Awesome video bro
no idea why the Mack LEU with McNeilus Autoreach ASLs have never really been seen on the roads despite them not being CNG trucks

@@johnwoa i meant the diesel McNeilus Autoreach ones i.e. 8115 & 8117 not the CNG Automizer ones
