Bates Pete 348 Leach Rear Loader Slamming Late Recycling

Here's truck 281, a 2020 Peterbilt 348 paired with a Leach 2RIII body, tackling some recycling on Wednesday evening. Bates has almost quadrupled the size of the old American recycling routes over the past few days, as they have gotten more and more behind as the week has gone on. These guys were recorded between 4 and 5, but continued for at least another hour after we left. Special thanks to the awesome crew! Both the driver and one of the helpers previously worked in Arlington with American. Enjoy! Recorded 8/6/2025 with ‪@EastCoastGarbageTrucks‬ Instagram: https://instagram.com/nova_refuse_tru...
