Ventura County Garbage Can Roll Out
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Back in July 2023, Ventura County approved new solid waste haulers for the counties four new solid waste service areas. Three haulers submitted bids and two were chosen, Athens and EJ Harrison, with WM not being selected. EJ won the North, Central, and Southwest section while Athens won the Southeast section. Both haulers officially commenced service on January 1 2024, ending G.I.’s long run. The contracts mandated SB1383 compliant carts which meant a full replacement of every cart on route. Seen here are the rollout crews finishing up EJs section in Lynn Ranch, just outside of Thousand Oaks. After talking with them, they said it was their last day of the rollout and they only had around 900 carts left. After finishing up in Ventura, some were headed down to Oceanside to finish stickering cart lids, while others were headed back home to Texas after spending Christmas and New Years away from their family.
I was not able to stick around for the roll in which happened the next day. According to Eli, the crews are taking the carts to Simi Valley Landfill for storage. I’m not too sure what WM will do with the carts, but if I were to guess, any cart that isn’t black bodied with a Waste Management or WM logo will be scrapped.
Thanks to Eli for the route info and a big thank you to all three crews! Hope you find this!

Reminds me of filming the West Marin rollout back in 2021 with all of the EVRIIs, the International/Freightliner flatbeds and the enthusiastic crew banging the carts with their hammers. And to think I still need to put the rest of my footage from over 2 years ago into a mega compilation... glad you could capture this one!
Rollouts are always fun, never met a crew that wasn't enthusiastic about filming! Hope to see your compilation come out soon, it's what got me to subscribe to your channel ;)
Do you have a video of the Santa Clarita rollout
another one bites the dust
Damn just realized they are slapping stickers on the bins…new bins and all but that alone makes them out of compliance with SB1383 🤣
That is tough that they are still using palnut instead of snap on wheels
Palnuts hardly ever fail, they're just a pain to get on and off
Do you think you will be able to get more footage of the manual organics collection in Santa Cruz?
I will try!
Awesome video man.
Nice seeing ej getting new contracts
That's a unique system of how the government manages trash contracts. I have never seen cart rollouts in Oregon. Very lucky for you guys to document this
it is not unique at all.
Thanks! They aren't all that rare, but definitely aren't common either. I'd say a major one happens once a year, but it just depends on when contracts are up.
this video makes me want to scream
I feel like wm cannot win anymore contracts unless they buy out other companies. Regardless, I love watching cart rollouts, and am lucky (maybe not) to have witnessed one my self. Great work!
Wish i could take a few of those carts, I need some for CRV
Harrison is badass they can take all the WM they want
Wish I could have taken a few too lol.
@@zp12684 no car space?
@@WMAC_Master no space at home
Nice Work! A little disappointed to see all of the variety go, Little surprised They went with toter, considering that they don't have the IML capability, given all of those labels that had to be put on by hand... Hopefully someone can get around to saving a few of those old WM containers out there!
Great Work!
As far as I know Toter does have IML capacity but hardly anyone uses it. I know Recology did when they rolled out San Mateo County a decade or so ago. Thanks!
Interesting, makes me wonder why EJ went with sticking them on by hand, when getting them as IML would save time, and maybe money in getting them printed and shipped to the roll out company.
The GI cart system was always a unique system. Sucks SB 1383 is getting rid of it
Biggest loss for Gi Industries. What areas do they still have?
Simi Valley, Westlake Village, Santa Monica Mountains and Calabasas
thank God@@brettk3588

Is Athens helping them out? I see employees in Athens vests
The crew recently rolled out one of Athen's new Ventura county areas so that's where he got the vest. They're contractors
