A huge thanks to the super friendly and chill crew for letting me film! After filming a bit in Whittier and some other cities we stopped by Azusa to check out Athens manual collection. Most of route was done but we found this crew wrapping up in a nice HOA. I walked up to the crew and they were very cool with it all and let us know where they were headed and helped us get into some of the smaller sections. Manual collection has been disappearing very rapidly so it was nice to see a fast crew knocking out a very dense route. When they finished up we talked for a while and learned they once tried rear loaders for this route but it ended up being too slow. It also sounds like the HOA doesn’t exactly want to go automated since residents can place out as much as they want and everything gets collected. Really enjoyed making this one so I hope u guys enjoy it!

~Special thanks to the great crew, hope you two enjoy it~

It's about time someone filmed the expanded part of Azusa's Tuesday route. It's not too common that you see homes & condos that were newly built in the 2010's starting off with manual collection. And you can tell a lot of the residents came from other cities or areas with automated collection, as most will voluntarily position their wheeled manual cans with the wheels up against the curb. They probably haven't seen their trash get picked up manually since they were teenagers, or even young kids. Most of Azusa's population doesn't want to go automated since there's no limit on the number of barrels or bulky items they can put out. And this route in particular definitely loves having the ability to put out as much cardboard as they want every week. They love online shopping lol. But there are talks about the city considering automated collection in the future. Great vid!

I'm sure they like this set up because residents can get rid of bulk anytime they want haha

Awesome one I like seeing manual collections.

Awesome video!! Really neat to see new trucks from Athens - as I feel like a lot of what you see on YouTube from them are the older trucks, and in general they just aren't filmed a whole lot. Manual collection is also just very entertaining. I do think that if the HOA rolled out 64's for each stream to each unit, that would probably work as well for Automated, or at least carted collection. Great work!

My manual route in temple city just ended last week

Wow! Nice to see some more manual collection on your channel.

that's surprising they still want manual collection since you'd think HOA neighborhoods out of all places would want uniformed automated containers & collection so it would appear "neater"
