Garbage Trucks Cleaning Up Mardi Gras

After seeing pictures over the last few years of the absurd amount of trash left behind after Mardi Gras celebrations in the French quarter of New Orleans, I decided this year I would drive out and catch it on film. I arrived the night before and walked around to see the masses of people partying on bourbon street. Upon seeing how packed the French quarter was, I knew the next morning was gonna be just as heavy as I had hoped. And sure enough as I walked from my hotel to bourbon street at 3:30 the next morning, I saw some of the biggest & messiest piles of trash I had ever seen. Shortly after arriving, I commenced filming the companies handling their stops. I spent most of my time following the 2 IV CCC Heil 5000s, and the 2 MRU 5000s they switched into after packing out their respective trucks. You can also see some River Parish Heil Pythons, A Waste Connections Mcneilus, A Ramelli Mcneilus, & a clip of the litter cleanup operation. Everything was filmed on bourbon street or a side street.

Enjoy!

Thanks to all the crews for letting me film!
