Los Angeles City Hauling

Here is a look at Waste Management Sun Valley post-RecycLA transition. During the first few months of 2018, the haulers of RecycLA had a significant increase in undiscovered accounts by the city, and scrambled to get trucks from all over to accommodate the increase in work. Waste Management transferred many garbage trucks from across Southern California to Sun Valley, some I didn't even know where around. The yard was so full that trucks were parking in front of each other, and more were stored in the front parking lot. It was a nice few months full of some surprises! Notable trucks include: (0:06) - 210968: Waste Management San Gabriel Pomona Valley sent their frontline commercial spare to Sun Valley to help out with the craziness - I was surprised to see it show up here randomly! (0:23) - 102782: I saw a picture of this truck on Instagram, and that's when I knew WM had transferred some trucks to Sun Valley to help with RecycLA. This Mack LE/Amrep HX-450 ASL was transferred from Irvine, and it was especially interesting to see Mack Amreps here once again. Back in the day, Sun Valley had several Mack LE Amrep HX-450 ASLs parked here to service Santa Clarita, so seeing the CNG versions of those trucks here was a really cool throwback. (0:34) - 211477: This truck came from Health Sanitation Service (HSS). Their drivers take excellent care of the trucks up there, and some even have their names on the door! (0:52) - 408371: Sun Valley had this prior to the RecycLA transition, but I never knew how good it sounded until they started moving trucks around the yard! Really nice sounding 2000 Mack MR Amrep Roll Off - definitely wish it ran on more weekends back then. (1:11) - 263586: This Mack LE Wittke FEL was converted to a food waste truck by GI in 2016. It didn't run route much unfortunately, so when Sun Valley needed trucks, this was one that they sent over. Nice looking truck and I was happy it got some hours in for a few months! (1:56) - 205362: This was probably the biggest surprise to me on that day! I had no idea WM Oceanside still had Volvo Wittkes, but this and one other truck were sent to Sun Valley. These 2000 Volvo Wittkes are some of the meanest sounding trucks, as shown at (5:37). (2:06) - 414035: This monstrous Peterbilt 367 Amrep Roll Off was sent to Sun Valley from El Cajon. The driver on this day serviced some really tight areas and said the truck barely fit the clearance to service the stop! (2:26) - 206669: This was the last old truck from the old Sun Valley days. 206669 started out as a WM San Gabriel truck (didn't know that until last year) then went to Compton and finally Sun Valley. (4:12) - 262986: Another Volvo Wittke from Oceanside. Being early 2018, I had no idea Oceanside still had Volvos up until then! (4:29) - 412564: The last International Spartan roll off that still has the old Looney Bins colors! I've always wanted to see a Looney Bins colored truck so this was an awesome surprise. (4:41) - 403899: The old BDC WhiteGMC Road Commander roll off! The grille on this thing was in perfect condition - really nice truck. (4:47) - WMI Turn Key: Here's a cool little relic from the old WMI days. Sun Valley was the North Los Angeles yard and serviced the City of San Fernando and had accounts in and around Santa Clarita. (5:16) - 213455: One of several brand new LNG Amrep FLs that showed up to Sun Valley for a few months before going up to AV & Fresno. (6:43) - 212970: Peterbilt 320/Amrep FEL from Corona (7:12) - 102780: Along with 102782, 102780 was sent from Irvine to do apartment recycling. (8:08) - 213133: The awesome Armando Saavedra in his old truck, 213133! At (10:04), you can see a line of Blue Barrel trucks fueling up at Sun Valley, which was a really interesting sight to see! A big thanks goes out to everyone at Waste Management - Los Angeles City Hauling for letting us come by to see the fleet!
