Waste Management of North County

- Waste Management of North County in Oceanside, California was once known for their rather unique and diverse fleet of trucks. For many years, they ran the old WMI POD system, shipping their trash up to the landfill in San Juan Capistrano. Once WM automated the city, the PODs were phased out (in a rather slow fashion surprisingly). The replacements were supposed to be Labrie PODs, however, only a couple made it in before a small fleet of standard Labrie Automizers came instead.
Throwing it back to early 2015, I thought those Labries collected the entire city. The nice folks at WM North County told me that that wasn't the case, and that a good amount of the Oceanside fleet was actually still diesel! At the time, Oceanside did not have a fueling station yet for CNG, so the Labries parked in Carlsbad and came up to Oceanside everyday. Oceanside housed a decent sized fleet of old diesel Amreps to service the green waste routes in the city. Many of these trucks were the same units that Carlsbad used for their automation process, so they were in excellent shape. Today, Oceanside's resi fleet consists of the older Labries and some 320/Amreps they received in 2016.
Alex and I had the opportunity to tour WM North County and learn a bit about their operation in August 2015. It was awesome getting to see so many Volvo Amreps still running, especially since a few were childhood trucks from WM San Gabriel Pomona Valley. They even had a POD front loader still around! It was really cool seeing that before it got scrapped. Thanks to everyone at WM North County for being so welcoming and showing us around!
Trucks to note:
(0:05) - 101287: A former WM San Gabriel truck that I used to see on a weekly basis. Insanely loud truck too which I really miss!
(2:59) - 101016: Another former WM San Gabriel truck. This was is extra cool because it has the old phone number board still hanging out!
(3:32) - 101044 & 263129: Both rather iconic Oceanside trucks; 101044 was the WXLL/Octo that Alex caught on commercial recycling in the apartments, and 263129 was the same carry can that several guys caught doing the recycling lines out by the beach.
(4:36) - 102937: This WX/Amrep collected Solana Beach for many years, but once they got new trucks, Oceanside ran it on greens for a little while. I remember many of us seeing this truck around town and noted how much it smoked haha.
(5:24) - Old Pictures: Some oldies from Oceanside from back in the day. They didn't last as long but they had a few WhiteGMC WXLL/Heil PODs, which I did not know Oceanside had up until relatively recently. Besides the PODs, Oceanside once ran WhiteGMC WXLL/Amrep Octos for other streams as well as WhiteGMC MSLs and Recyclers. Pretty neat! The square body also seen here is pretty cool, that picture was taken in 1986 so I'm guessing the WhiteGMCs replaced these. Thanks to Christian for access on the Newspapers archive as always.
Definitely not my best work but I thought some might enjoy the throwback to the old days of WM Oceanside.
Thanks to everyone at Waste Management of North County for showing us around!

love those vintage pics!
263577 started off with those cart mounts, after got changed to side mounted forks, and back to cart mounts.
it was like watching the indy 500 of trash trucks going around and comming into the yard
Came across this video today! Great Throwback!
If my facts are correct, I think some Volvo WX-64 Amrep ASL from WMLA ended up here along with the Pete 310 Octo Side Loaders after WM lost the contract for RPV which was mainly Manually Collected with some Auto Sections near the Promenade on the Peninsula mall.
This is my OG yard!!
Nice one here Aaron! Those ex Irvine Volvo’s really brought back memories for me...
Thanks! Yes sir, I definitely miss those Volvo Amreps.
I want volvo trucks back at north country at oceanside
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing those old photos at the end, come beauties there!
Thanks! And I'm sure you recognize the truck at 2:44 as well lol
@@WMmaster626 Holy crap that went over my head! Truck has aged a bit lol. Didn't recognize it with those logos
Nice throwback video! It was great seeing all the old Amerp Volvos. What ever happened with the new (back then) PODS?
Thanks!! Short but I was hoping a few of you guys would find this interesting. The new PODs are still around as far as I know but they never do body swaps unfortunately as far as I know
I love the cab at 3:24!
lucky you! wish the wmac yard was open for tours.
nice to learn about their history; yes they did have some unique trucks
did you get any carts? oceanside had cool cascades
Hey I know that front loader 264666, I drive it every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday up here in Mendocino County.
Haha that's really cool!!
Wish these Volvo’s were here.
Same here haha. Good trucks
Nice seeing the “old skool “ photos
102937 runs at the AV now, right?
Last I heard, yeah. Haven't seen it in years though
Idk where it ended up, but its not out of AV. Might be in one of the benz yard or could even have been scrapped. Idk
Probably Corona
