Ace Solid Waste: The Last 7000

I present you with the first footage of a Ace Heil 7000, which also happens to be the last one. Back in the 90s and early 2000s, Ace has a fleet of Heil Formulas, 7000s and even 2 Rapid Rails! Within the last few years they have had fewer and fewer, until now. The first few clips was filmed last June on Yard Waste when this truck was said to be scrapped, but they decided to keep at for another year so I thought I’d never film it again. Lucky I got the chance to film it again with MinnesotaGarbageKid and TwinCitiesTrash. Also, Collin was driving when I filmed it again.
Filmed on: 6/15/18 & 4/19/19
Filmed in: Lino Lakes, MN & Shoreview, MN
Filmed with: MinnesotaGarbageKid and TwinCitiesTrash
Huge thanks to Collin for all the routes, I would have been able to film this beast without his help!
Waste Connections: don’t yell at Collin for doing anything wrong cuz he’s cool and he didn’t do anything wrong.

Awesome Video! It turned out great and it was cool to see it in different areas.

[@TennisSanitationMan56]

Minnesota Garbage Kid Thanks!

[@TheNVTrashMan]

Cool to see a 7000 from ACE. Still looks in perfect condtition. They should totally keep for a while longer.

[@TennisSanitationMan56]

TheNVTrashMan Thanks! Yeah I wish, after WC bought they they basically switched to McNeilus

[@minnesotagarbagedisposal4099]

Totally

[@minnesotagarbagedisposal4099]

I’m gonna miss this truck

[@MendocinoRefuseTrucks]

Awesome video. Truck has a beautiful sound

[@TennisSanitationMan56]

Mendo carts And refuse Thanks!

[@hunterdawg89]

Awesome video James! Glad y’all filmed this truck before it but the dust. You kinda went all around the twin cities lol. My favorite part was definitely when he did trash in those townhomes. Keep it up James!

[@TennisSanitationMan56]

HunterDawg 89 Thanks! Yeah

[@sidwellsk8er]

Dude has the patience of a saint. I go up, give the cart a second to let the stuff fall out and back down she goes.

[@sidwellsk8er]

With those 60/90 universal grabbers the grip is so soft you hardly ever over grip the carts.

[@TennisSanitationMan56]

John Sidwell he was on yard waste so he had to shake the carts to get all the stuff out

[@sidwellsk8er]

Yeah I figured that out later on, that crap never wants to come out. I think I was a little over five minutes in when I got a good view of what was coming out. Sucks they decommissioned this 7000, they'll probably get something else that will quit working all the time.

[@GarbageSean]

Man this truck sounds amazing! You got a hopper video right? If so, please leave all driving shots in the video.

[@TennisSanitationMan56]

GarbageSean Thanks! I didn’t, check out TwinCitiesTrash, he has a hopper video upload, Minnesota garbage kid will upload his too. I just put a hopper video of Tennis 53 up yesterday tho

[@westernstategarbagetrucks]

What a beast in such good condition, why do they wanna scrap it

[@TennisSanitationMan56]

WMSacramento 7 it’s different from the rest, so they have to get different parts. And it’s running on 17 years of age

[@minnesotagarbagedisposal4099]

TennisSanitationMan56 Wow, that’s a long time

[@garbagetrucksofmnfilmer6955]

Collin is famous

[@Marvo817]

This company used to have Crocodile’s. You ever see one in action?

[@TennisSanitationMan56]

Mike3141981 no they never had a crocodile

[@Marvo817]

I guess it must have been a different Ace location

[@TennisSanitationMan56]

Mike3141981 it probably was, there’s a few in the Us

[@savagedude9689]

Is it gone?

[@minibinwaredisposaldude5641]

[@Jaydenthetrashkid3853]

Heil do us all a favor and bring the 7k back and mack do us a favor to and bring the LEU cab back

[@ct_refuse]

So ACE is a WC company?

[@TennisSanitationMan56]

CT Refuse Yes Ace got bought out by Waste Connections in 2014

[@minnesotagarbagedisposal4099]
