2 brand new Autocar ACX Heil Liberty garbage trucks in the hills of Sonoma!

These two little things showed up a couple months back to replace the two 1998 mini Rapid Rails that Recology ran on this route. Surprisingly, they didn't replace them immediately, deciding to use the Liberties as spares, not sure why. Then, last Friday I happened to be at the yard, and I asked a driver what was up with that, and he said that they had finally started using them on the route they were bought for. Lucky for me, I had Monday off, and I headed out there, finding these two immediately. Drivers were still getting used to them, but overall liked them better. In my opinion, I still think they would be better off with a Rapid Rail, the Python arm is just too big for these narrow streets. Anyhow, enjoy the video!

[@GoGarbage]

Amazing Video! Great Quality

I loved both trucks! Same with the scenery.

[@RecologySpencer]

Lord that is a tiny truck! Really shiny looking since they're practically brand new. These are slow but not compared to the Rapid Rails lol, for a replacement I'm a fan of these trucks, sure are unique! Glad you could find these on route out in Sonoma!

[@DavidmillerMilker]

What a great video I enjoy watching your video I like your videos a lot

[@AZTrashTrucks]

Nice work! I'm actually petty happy with Recology's choice of trucks here...Its way better than just another Sidewinder. They seem to fit this route pretty well! What a cool place to film too! Great work!

Sick Video Charles! I can’t wait to film this truck in a few weeks! Even though its awfully slow lol 😅

[@MendocinoRefuseTrucks]

Beat me to it haha. Funny enough you filmed this on the exact same route Aengus, Nic and I filmed the Volvo. We ended up finding one of these later on. Nice video!

[@RecologyChaser]

Very awesome video! So glad recology is buying these to (unfortunately) replace the mini rapid rails. Would be cooler if they got co collector ones (if those even exist lol)

[@garbagetrucksofsanmarcosca]

Awesome video bro I like both of these brand new trucks.

[@GarbageNation]

I did hear a driver talking about a "mini python" that might be coming to the yard soon.. That would be a treat to see! Awesome Video man!

[@RecologyChaser]

Why would smc be getting a mini truck

[@GarbageNation]

There's routes that the msl has to do because it's so tight

[@WMAC_Master]

Dude these are awesome! I should get out there, if only it wasn't so far lol The proportions look so off too haha Are the 1998 RR's still alive?

[@THEAZREFUSEGUY2006]

Nice job catching these on route! so are the RR's officially no more?

[@SonomaMarinGarbage]

On route yes sadly. They’re still at the yard, not sure what the plan is for now. I heard they were planning on selling them at an auction to run somewhere like Nevada Utah or something like that

[@THEAZREFUSEGUY2006]

alright thanks for the update. you should see if you can go into the yard an do a walk around vid before they go

[@Adan94748]

I tried making the truck on Roblox
