Compton Hauling

- On Monday (11/25/13), I paid a visit to one of the coolest WM facilities in California - Compton Hauling. Many of you might have seen Bill and Zach's video of an ex-Western Waste Stagg ASL, which ran out of this yard. So you probably can guess that this yard has some really cool garbage trucks. Unfortunately those ex-Western Waste Staggs are no longer in operation, but I was very surprised to still see what this yard ran.
Since this is a smaller operation, this yard does not have very many trucks to begin with - between 50-60 trucks. So when I arrived at the yard, I was kind of surprised to see that none of the regular trucks were back at the yard yet. Last time I was here, most of the trucks were back around 2-3. This yard literally uses every single running truck out there in their operations. I did not see a single spare in the yard.
This yard used to be a former Western Waste yard - probably most visible with the trucks they ran in the past. Since Compton isn't the nicest area in the world, this yard never really got the best trucks running around. They did take delivery of one "Think Green, Think Clean" truck, but for the most part, this yard is run by LNG Autocar WX Amreps. Like I said, this yard sends out 99% of their fleet daily. So what I was left with was the scrap/spare line!
The trucks sitting in the scrap line were a surprise to me. I had no idea 98% of these trucks were going to be there. A couple of them aren't actually going to be scrapped yet. The coolest thing about the scrap line was that 90% of the trucks there were all inherited from a buyout, merge, etc. The only original Waste Management truck there I think was 101258. Every Peterbilt you see here is ex-Western Waste -- which you probably could tell from the orange paint peeking through. The two Amrep Octo ASLs you see at the beginning of the line are both ex-LA units. The McNeilus New-Century is ex-WMX. The STS is the only truck I'm that I'm not sure where it's from. On the other side of the line, the container truck is ex-Klistoff and Sons. The Volvo Amrep Octo FL is from a small company called Innovative that was based in Carson, CA. They only had three trucks. And the Volvo Wittke FL is from WMX I believe.
Many of you might now know this, but Compton's main operation in Dumpster repairs. This yard has a special truck (which you will see in the video) that goes around to sites all over Southern California and picks up old, rusted out Dumpsters. Then they take them over to this site, fix them up, repaint them, and send them back out. The process takes about 8 days, and the Dumpster shop has 8-10 guys working 10 hour shifts.
Also, on a side note, two of the Klistoff brothers are still working at the Compton Hauling yard. Hopefully one day I'll find them on route!
A BIG thank you goes out to every employee of Waste Management involved in my tour, especially Heros, the tour guide. He came in on his vacation to tour me around the facility and I really appreciate that. I'm looking forward to another adventure with him very soon! And of course, thank you to all Compton Hauling employees I met for being so friendly.
Enjoy, like, and/or favorite! I had a great day filming this, but it took some effort on both Waste Management's part and my part in order for this to happen. So PLEASE enjoy! Pictures will be up on Flickr soon.
Filmed with USAutos98.
Thanks for watching!

A lot of great trucks in there! Sad to see the older ones get retired. Excellent video!
***** Thanks! Yeah it was sad, but awesome to hang out in the scrap line though haha
Great video! I really like how you were able to tour to yard and see all these pieces of history before they are scraped. I wish these trucks were still running though!
Thank you! haha yeah I got really lucky with this tour. Thank God I was able to get it! And yeah of course, we all do :) Thank you for commenting!
Awesome job my friend!!!! I remember when me and Wis Trash(clubpenguindude160, former user name) wanted to take a tour at the S. 13 street yard un announced and it took for ever to find some one able to give us a tour, well we got vests to keep and he showed us around the yard but he said we cant take pictures because we saw the can yard and some of the new Autocar ACX McNeilus Autoreach with a yellow arm. They had some old rls there and that new roto press green waste cylinder rear loading garbage truck. But this was an awesome video I really liked it!
Thanks!! Oh that sucks :( But still, the tour must've been awesome haha and those trucks sound really cool, especially the Autoreaches and Rotopress. Lol maybe one day camp out in a car and take pics from inside :D haha thanks for the comment!!!
WOW! I guess you got there right on time to see some of the good stuff still present. I remember a couple years ago when my yard converted to CNG, I took a trip to the yard around the same time as you did and was surprised to find that they've already had gotten rid of some trucks and there were lovely new CNG trucks sitting in the places of where the old trucks used to stand. It's sad to see that such awesome trucks unfortunately must come to an end... such as being put on the scrap line. A lot of really cool and good looking trucks there. Man I had thought at first that all that orange was rust and I thought to myself "wow, how can they let their trucks go like that" but then remembered that that orange is living Western Waste colors and I was astonished to see how much was showing, especially on that one amrep at 2:20. Now after seeing that it makes me want to examine the EX-Western truck that Alex and I filmed, to see how much paint was showing from there.
Overall really cool video and thanks for sharing :)
Thank you!! Yeah I must say, it was good timing haha these trucks were so awesome to see - I still cannot get over my luck on this tour! Yup! Good ol' Western colors ;) Thanks again - always enjoy your comments!!
lol when the video started i was SUPER excited. very nice trucks. too bad the trucks i grew up with are now retired. and that STS. Never seen that before. is it a custom? great filming and trucks
haha shoulda seen me at the yard when I saw these! The STS is not custom, but definitely rare haha Thanks man
Dang, 202188 got retired already.. I was really hoping a video of that truck would some day make it onto youtube. That "OG" Elliptical looks great in their colors, especially paired with the 320. Also, is that old pete "310" Wittke one of the trucks they arent scrapping yet? I'd really enjoy seeing more of that in operation if it does still work from time to time.
Yeah ever since I found that truck on Maps, I've been wanting to get it in action, but I hardly ever go to this area. And I agree - it does look really good. I don't believe they are scrapping that 310 Wittke, none of the trucks in that line (Klistoff to Volvo Wittke) had an "Out of Service" sign on it so it might still be operable. I'll ask the manager next time I see him. Thanks for commenting!
Damn, some classics here! A shamed to see most of them get the boot. LOVE all them Xpeditor's. That WHITEGMC STS was awesome! Also, that WXLL Amrep is the Ex Blue Barrel Disposal one. Navymailman has pics of that, A shame that's going to. I would love for you to email me this pics as well :) Awesome video bro loved it!
Thanks bro!! Haha yeah best part about the Compton yard is their classics :) Yeah funny thing is that I didn't even realize it was an STS until after the tour! And I knew I saw that Amrep somewhere before haha I will send them to you right away! Thanks for enjoying and commenting!
Wow! Every single truck goes out on route! Great vid! Can you get footage of one of the Petes?
haha yeah! Or at least most of them - I didn't see a single truck in the actual lot, but there might be some of them that are spares like the Volvo Amrep ASL. And I can certainly try, hopefully there are still some on route. Thanks for the comment!
Great video! I'm assuming this is the scrap line but regardless I still enjoyed the trucks.
Thank you! Yeah most of the trucks in the video are, but I think some of them are spares.
Does Compton have any more of the old fleet left?
Nah I think their fleet is actually newer than LA Metro. They do a lot of refurb projects for other sites but that's about it
WMmaster626 Ah ok because I would like to check out Compton Hauling sometime
I found out they actually have a Mack LE Wittke from Baldwin Park, so they might have a few more surprises around.
whats the 1s with the white paper in the drivers window are they the junk they dont use
yeah the paper says "Out of Service" unfortunately
***** love the trailer of bins
THETRASHKING1 haha yeah I've been wanting to find that one for a long time
***** come to South Gate California to film the trucks and the carts and we have roto and huskylite
+Hector Bernal What trucks work in South Gate these days? Sorry for the late response, comment never show'd up in my inbox :-)
