City of Deer Park: Freightliner M2 Heil DuraPack 5000 Rear Loader Garbage Truck

Here’s another pretty ordinary truck out of a suburb just east of Houston. Deer Park runs a small fleet of these for twice weekly trash pickup, either on Mon/Thurs or Tues/Fri. These trucks were spec’d to have footsteps wrapping around the tailgate, something I’ve definitely never seen in person before. Also, instead of the usual neon high-vis, all crews have to wear red which I think is a cool touch. As neat as manual bins would be, they don’t have a curbside recycling program, but people can drop them off at the city’s transfer station. Hope you guys enjoy! Thanks to the chill crew for letting me film and Tim the supervisor I briefly spoke to!
