Garbage Trucks Eating Christmas Trees - 2018 Edition

- 41 Christmas trees being collected by 9 private and municipal trash trucks in western Los Angeles County.
The City of L.A. makes the first appearance of the video, back to their old ways of collecting all trees with their standard automated trucks on green waste. Last year rumor had it that most trees outside of carts were collected by a front loader (at least on the Westside). Seen throughout the video are three 2016 CNG Amrep HX450s and four 2005 diesel Amrep Octos.
The second appearance of the video is made by Universal Waste Systems in the Mesa Heights Garbage Disposal District. Seen is an older beat up 2001 Crane Carrier with a Pak-Mor Load-Liner body on it.
Lastly you'll see one of the City of Santa Monica's CNG Crane Carrier Scorpion ASLs. The city's main tree collection effort comes when they sweep the city on Sundays throughout January with their rear loaders. However, this driver's second and final load of the day ended up being a measly 73 cans due to the fact that it was an overtime day and they had extra drivers helping out which left plenty of room in the truck to collect a few trees for fun.
Big thanks to Victor, Raymond, Rafael, Humphrey, Wallace, and Eddie from the City of LA, Bobby and Octavio from Universal Waste, and Eduardo from Santa Monica. Filmed January 2018 - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
It was fun seeing all those different trucks collecting all those trees, especially the Scorpions and the Amrep N3s. The tree at 8:20 surprised me. I seriously thought it was going to hit that car coming at the other side. I guess it just barely missed it. Great video!
Ha that one tree got some air. Does look like it over shot the truck.
lol the driver and I both aren't sure if it actually hit the car or just barely missed it. the lady stopped and looked back at the truck, but then just kept driving. thanks!
8:00 Best One.
True dat
Good to see something different and unique, only happens once a year but the Christmas tree collection is pretty neat. The Santa Monica driver seemed like a pretty cool guy, 73 bins was a light load, wonder how many the small Scorpions can normally pack? Sounds like in one of your clips around the 4:00 minute mark a woman must have asked you something, probably why where you filming. Can't stand that, can't they just leave us alone, pisses me off as they can ruin a shot. The Amreps were ok too, I still find the rocker switch arm controls a bit weird compared to a joystick, I suppose they are easy when you are used to them. Just interesting that the Arizona councils use Joysticks in their Scorpions and Wayne's but in California they like to use rocker switch controls.
on an average route these trucks can get roughly 300 carts in a load. Heavy routes like the area he does on Tuesdays pack the truck to the max after 200+ bins and on light routes like what he does on Thursdays they can take upwards of 350. It's actually quite funny how much rocker switches are favored over joysticks in Greater L.A. Many haulers and companies in the area specifically request to not have joysticks put in on their trucks (no idea why).
Nice video Tony! It was really neat seeing all the trees get collected. Do the trees pack pretty well in the Amreps? It seems to get backed up at times but ends up going in the truck eventually
it all depends on how they land in the hopper. If it's a smaller tree that lands completely flat, or if it's a larger tree that lands stump first they tend to pack okay. The larger trees that go in nose first can cause some serious problems which is what was happening with the second truck in the video. Thanks!
So doctor please explain to me again why it is that I like watching videos of garbage trucks picking up Christmas trees?
Cool

Hey Wastemantony, since you post pics of many Santa Monica trucks and the interiors. Why don't you get a pic inside the bridgeport since they are entertaining in my opinion. Maybe post it on flickr or make a vid of it to put on this channel. Good luck on your channel and God bless you!
I wish I could, but they retired those trucks a little over a year ago now.
Hahaha the guy in 0.50 and the guy in 7.00 are cousins
