Athens Services | Autocar ACX - Heil Half/Pack Odyssey (Christmas Trash)

Hey everyone, it's rather late to be posting Christmas related videos, but I had been pretty busy over the past month. But before it gets too late, here's the second of three videos I managed to get. Featured in this video, is definitely not everyone's favorite of newer trucks nowadays, but these guys do get the job done pretty fast still. It's a Heil Half/PackFreedom front loader, on an Autocar ACX chassis collecting trash on the Thursday route in Glendora. It took me a while to find stops with a reasonable amount of cardboard and bagged wrapping paper, as these would be the more "Christmasy" stops. But I think the footage turned out alright. Thanks to Valentin & George for allowing me to film. Leave a comment & rating, and thanks for watching!

As a reminder to those who wonder, the trash in this city is taken to a sorting facility where recyclables are removed from the regular trash. It's not possible for them to get all of it, but the amount they do recover is enough to keep the city in compliance with CA's minimum 75% requirement.

I honestly can't stand to listen to this truck, but the crew made it such an entertaining video. I can't believe there's a manual collection route this big that still exists in LA of all places. Great job!

It's great seeing more manual footage, especially holiday footage when there are huge setouts. The Heil is really not that bad of a truck and also the crew was super fast., it was entertaining seeing them tossing cans.

same thoughts as you, truck may not be special but it still looks like it would be fun to do, so it's definitely fun to at least watch. impressed by the driver's timing of the pack cycles, once in here he even was able to start lifting the arms while it was still retracting. awesome job, thanks for another one of these 5 star videos. too bad uws or nasa don't have any contracts to collect cities manually, I'm sure they'd make it just as entertaining with good rhythm and possibly even some neater trucks

Truck sounded awesome when revved in my opinion. Does all this stuff go to a dirty MRF. Crew was super fast! Great post!

Wow some people have huge set outs! Love how the crew works really fast. Seems like they could use a bigger bin though. It all goes to a MRF right?

Never seen a heil freedom doing this before. Why can't they just do automated? Saves energy for the guy lifting and running

[SuperOptimus]

Wow.. these people don't believe in recycling?
