City of Elk Grove Recycling & Waste Cart Roll Out & Roll In

It’s been a while since I posted and I guess I have been a little lazy and trying to get more footage and school starting. I got more stuff ready to post. But here it is! So 3 days I was informed by Kenny that the roll out was starting in Del Web neighborhood. So that Monday I was busy in the morning then I had time to find the crews doing the rollout. As soon we drove in we saw Black, Blue and green carts. We found a crew right away and I asked to film. All the guys were super cool. And I even saw the supervisor. After a little bit we ran into 4 more crews. A crew for every color picking up new or old cans. After a while I went to find a other recycle crew and talked to them for a bit. After a while I ended up with a crew doing the old green waste cans this crew was a super chill and wanted to be on camera a lot. After a second they let me started dissembling carts, wheels and even let me on the trailer. So shout out to them. Also was pretty cool to be the first person to film the rollout. These cans haven’t been replaced for over 17 years. Back in the day (2000-2003) BFI had pythons and autoreachs and maybe some automators. These toters and Rehrigs have been worn and sun fated badly from this summer heat. As today it is 107 degrees. Most of my older EG cans are really fated from the sun. But it was a good idea to do it now before these carts slowly die. Kinda sad to see these go. Some of the new Q series and some M series are still can be used for another 15 years but the color code changed so. I took 10 carts so far and we haven’t barely started week 3 yet. So if your a collector get down here! We have lots of Toters, Rehrigs and Some SSIs! Also Shout out to the amazing crew for letting me film and help out! Filmed: 8/1/22, 8/5/22, 8/9/22. Filmed with: iPhone 13 Filmed in: Elk Grove, CA *TO THE ROLLOUT COMPANY & REPUBLIC SERVICES THIS IS ONLY FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY AND NEVER TO GET ANY ONE IN TROUBLE*
