    I HOPE YOU GET THIS COMMENT! This is a follow-up to your previous 'Reply' and my subsequent 'Reply"--- Regarding what I said as to three (3) trucks being used in my area instead of two ("as you mentioned in your 'Reply'"), if, by chance, you mentioned my Comment to the GFL D2 Route Supervisor, I want to thank you as things were changed today! Two (2) trucks were used as you said in your 'Reply'! An ASL emptied the blue bins and a split rear loader, 7803, did the green bins and the recycling overflow. That 7803 crew did a great job this morning given the bad weather and the two-truck regimen worked like clockwork and was much better than the three-truck regimen that is being used. My area is at the beginning of the map and by 10 AM my entire area (west of Jane and south of Lawrence) was completed. I hope this "change" will be permanent where I live as it seemed to go much smoother than what has been done previously and utilized two trucks with three workers as opposed to using three trucks with four workers. If you see that 7803 crew, tell them they did a great job this morning. Hoping your crew made it through the bad weather today. Have a great weekend and Merry Christmas! --- John

    I see a total difference on video here from where I used to live. I remember that the driver of the truck in my neighborhood had to set the brakes at every stop.

    Hello again! Great video! The problem I have with the GFL's ASL trucks AS A TAXPAYER is that, where I live, three (3) separate trucks have to do the same job (i.e. green bins, blue or grey bins and bulk item/overflow recycling) that your single rear loader truck does with a two-man crew. Albeit in the old days the rear loaders had three-man crews but where I live (Jane & Lawrence area) three separate trucks having to do the job of one must consume an enormous amount of fuel together with increased expenditures. I realize the ASL's are "ten times faster"--- I was told that years ago, but is the added cost for vehicles, fuel, etc... warranted? I have always loved rear loaders from the very beginning so keep up the great work, my friend! --- John

      The benefit of using a side loader for the main blue/grey bins and a split rear pack for green and overflow is it enables them to cover an area 3-4x larger with those two trucks compared to what I can do with my truck. Because of this they’re more commonly working in teams as they will sweep from one side of the district to the other as a group. It’s more efficient as these areas north of eglinton don’t have the park cars on the road which rule out the side loader use further south. The crews north of eglinton also use less trucks overall than our crews in downtown and midtown with more of them having been transitioned to clean CNG fuel than ours. My truck is one of three on my crew which has transitioned to CNG

      @@TripleGTrucks Thanks for your reply and explanation. Much appreciated! To be specific regarding my area (west of Jane and south of Lawrence), A GFL ASL will dump the blue/grey bins, another ASL will dump the green bins and a McNeilus rear loader will pick up the overflow/bulk items. That is three trucks, not two. Sorry for any confusion. I like what you said about using two (2) trucks. Regarding what you said about parked cars, there are LOTS and LOTS of cars parked (legally) on the streets up here during the day, especially in the Lexington Green area where I live and the drivers of the ASL's are always having to get out of the cab and bring the bin(s) out to where the arm can grab them and where the parked car doesn't accidentally get "dinged". It defeats the whole purpose for the ASL if the driver is forever having to get out of his truck to position bins for emptying. I see it every week.... ABOUT MYSELF--- I have spent a lifetime watching garbage trucks and learning all I can about the waste collection industry. It began in the 1950's when our family owned a machinery company in Cincinnati, Ohio that supplied machinery and machine parts to many clients including a few in the waste collection industry. My watching garbage trucks along city streets goes back to the days of LEACH rear loaders with the rear ram door that would come down and sweep back and forth into the truck. GarWood had those also. Great Memories. You can see all of those vehicles on the Internet. In 1960, I was allowed to bring a garbage pail with tin cans out from the curb to the truck on my grandparent's street (I was 8 years old) and dump it in the rear hopper while the mechanism and conveyor was still in motion. It was a day I will never forget! The truck was a Daybrook Power Packer rear loader, City of Cincinnati Public Works Waste Collection truck No. 4201. From World War 2 to around 1960, the Cincinnati tin can collection was North America's FIRST "recycling" waste collection. My interest in garbage trucks increased over the years and, after our family moved to Florida, I was "indirectly" involved with the creation in the 1980's of the Waste Resource Recovery/Waste-to-Energy garbage plant in Pinellas County, Florida. It's still going strong today with upgrades being made. I'm now living out my golden years here in T.O. --- John
