Freightliner Condor/Dempster Recycle One

To kick off my West Coast Road Trip Series, I'll start off with a truck I've been promising footage of for several months now. This truck runs from my local yard, it arrived here sometime around November of last year. It is a later-model Dempster Recycle One mounted on a Freightliner Condor chassis. The main difference on the body between this truck and the older-model Dempster Recycle One's I've filmed previously is an automatic tailgate locking system, actuated by the tailgate's lift hydraulics. The older ones used a turnbuckle locking system that had to be manually locked and unlocked before the body could be unloaded. The automatic locking system on this truck allows the operator to remain in the cab while at the unloading site, providing greater safety for operator. Aside from that, the body is nearly identical to the ones I've filmed before. What makes this truck particularly interesting is that it is mounted on a newer Freightliner Condor chassis, an unusual chassis to see with a curbsort recycle, especially the Dempster Recycle One. Enjoy this footage, you will be seeing this truck again in the near future, I assure you. And a huge thank you to the very friendly driver for allowing this video to happen!
As always, thanks for watching!

I rememberwhen San Jose had Dempster trucks (I'm not sure if they were Recycle Ones, which I remember Green Valley using in Campbell, Los Gatos, and Saratoga, but they certainly were Dempster MSLs). The Dempsters were on recycling, and handling the trash were Amrep ASLs. Then, in the summer of 2002, Waste Management lost its contract with the city, and two new haulers were brought in: GreenTeam in west and central San Jose, and Norcal in East, South, and North San Jose. GreenTeam used Labrie Cool Hand Co-Collectors (a discontinued model, and I can see why), while Norcal used Heil Rapid Rails. Then in 2007, Norcal lost their contract over a dispute with San Jose, and were replaced by Garden City Sanitation (using Labrie Automizers) and California Waste Solutions (using McNelius Autoreaches, though I did spot a few Rapid Rails). Norcal still serves the fringe areas of the valley with Rapid Rails and Liberties. As for the aforementioned Green Valley, they were replaced by West Valley Waste in 2007, and they use Automizers, as well as MSLs (I'm not sure which model they are).
Around the time Garden City started serving the old Norcal areas, GreenTeam started adding Automizers and Experts, replacing some of the obsolete Cool Hands. Now, starting next Monday, GreenTeam is getting a new fleet of CNG trucks from Trillium in Chicago. I saw a picture of the new truck, and it's definitely a front loader. So it's likely that GreenTeam is switching from conventional ASLs to front loaders with Curotto Cans (which I've wanted to see in action first-hand for some time).
Yard trimmings, for as long as I've been alive, has always been done by Green Waste. For as long as I can remember, they've used a novel approach: using a CAT frontloader (I call it the tractor) with a Case Tink Claw to load piles of yard waste into the back of a Heil Big Bite (and later on, a Leach 2R-III). When I was little, the Heils were green, just like their tractors. Then, in 2001, they were repainted white, and in 2002, tippers were put on the sides of the hoppers that allow the frontloaders to load them. The last time I saw one of the older green trucks was in 2005. Though new tractors were brought in around 2008, and the Big Bites have been supplemented by the 2R-IIIs (but not totally replaced, I still see alot of them), the same method is still used. But if the truck and tractor are running behind, Green Wast will send an Automizer to pick up the trimmings in carts.
