Athens Services' Infamous Christmas Recycling Overload

Down where Athens Services collects in Redondo Beach, CA, residents are known from past footage to rarely ever crush or even flatten their boxes after Christmas... resulting in the Athens employees and their trucks' packers to do all the work, unfortunately. You will see that what comes out of the carts seems to be much less than what looks SHOULD be packed in the carts - and that's because many people (aka inconsiderate dumbasses) stack maybe one or two whole boxes inside the carts, and then leave a pile of other bags and unflattened boxes beside the cart for the crew to manually chuck into the hopper (which is quite frankly entertaining)

First is 912 which does Matt's (ATSF Pony) route. Very personable and friendly driver (I think he said his name was Joel) driving an ACX paired with a McNeilus FL and a Curotto Can.

Next is another ACX paired with a Heil Rapid Rail. Due to the terribly small hopper size, 914 had to take a few too many manual packing breaks. Heil obviously did not anticipate the Rapid Rail collecting mountains of uncrushed boxes.

Here you have it, and stay tuned for much more entertaining footage to come in 2016, including G.I. Industries, NASA, Republic, Xmas Tree collections, and MORE!!!

Happy New Year and best of luck for everyone's filming adventures in 2016!
