La Habra -- Commercial (WM)

As of November 1, 2015, Waste Management is no longer the City of La Habra's service provider. Thanks to all the drivers and staff that kept La Habra clean for over 30 years

Waste Management services the businesses and other commercial stops in the city of La Habra six days a week. Here are some of the garbage trucks used there:

(0:00) - 265091: This is a very unique truck. Though it may seem like the average Autocar ACX Amrep HX-450 FEL combo, there are some interesting parts to it. The first thing is the giant gap between the tag axle and the rest of the wheels. Another cool thing is that this truck has a fold up door, which leads me to the next interesting part. This truck's number (265) is typically an indicator for residential trucks. These all make it a fun truck to film. Behind the wheel of this truck is Arturo Cortes, a very professional, clean, and safe driver.

(2:38) - 211774: As we were looking for residential trucks in La Habra, I saw this truck waiting at a light. He turned into a nursing home which had several Dumpsters for collection. The driver, Jesus Arce (37 years with WM), told us this truck is only four months old! He really likes the truck; said it's like driving the Cadillac of garbage trucks.

(6:38) - 412647: Here is a quick drive by of one of the roll offs that shuttles containers back and forth from La Habra to the transfer station.

(6:43) - 265091: Here is another clip of Arturo from March. Seen here collecting a compactor on a Saturday morning.

(8:26) - 264111: Here is my favorite truck that works in La Habra. The driver, Alfredo (10 years with WM), does the organics/food waste route in the city on Saturdays. He has six stops before he finishes the route and heads off to the transfer station. I really enjoyed talking to him. He works out of the Irvine hauling site unlike the rest of the drivers, who are out of Santa Ana. His truck has a Volvo badge on the grille, even though it is a first generation Autocar. Alfredo works in Laguna Beach on Tuesdays and Fridays during the week in an ASL, 104506, which is the dual axle Peterbilt 320/Amrep and other cities around Orange County on the other days.

Thanks to all the drivers for letting me film and Cody for showing me around La Habra.
Great job to the Waste Management - La Habra commercial team!
