L.A. Sanitation’s Finest: Small Rear Load Garbage Truck on Illegal Dumps (Pt.1)

One of the Sanitation’s Livability Service Division’s (LSD) programs is the Altered Shift Illegal Dumping program. This shift works from 3PM to 11:30PM Monday-Friday. They take care of the awful piles of trash this city has that have been illegally dumped. Alleyways are most susceptible to illegal dumping in Los Angeles, so certain equipment go in these alleyways to collect. Small equipment that can easily navigate these alleys. Here we have a satellite truck (Ford F-550 New Way Diamondback RL) doing just that. These little machines can pack a good load, I’m talking 2-3 tons (even 4 if you really push it), however it does also depend on the type of material you’re collecting. You’ll see these trucks have a TON of power and can crush almost anything you throw in. These awesome guys were able to pack this truck out with 2.4 tons to show for it. The twins definitely kick ass, and took care of business and left all the stops looking clean and much better than when they first arrived. So enjoy them here working overtime collecting illegal dump piles in the Pico Union and Leimert Park neighborhoods of L.A. on an overcast Saturday morning. Big thanks to them! Thank you for watching! Look forward to more videos of the twins in action. I’m anticipating at least 4 more videos of them as I was able to record them working together 2 Saturdays in a row. Filmed: February 17, 2024 in Los Angeles, California.
