City of Albuquerque Solid Waste - ''The Retirees''

Here is what was once the awesome diverse fleet of the City of Albuquerque Solid Waste Management Department (CABQ SWMD) All units seen in this video have been retired from service and auctioned off. Most units still live today, thought out different hauling agency's across the US. That, or they just sit in a dirt lot and do nothing. Esp, as metal value is low, not many places are really scrapping trucks, well here anyways. Anyways, enjoy some of the last footage you will see of these old school relics pounding out some routes!
A huge thank you is always in order, to the awesome dedicated collections drivers, and the agency its self, the City of Albuquerque Solid Waste Management Department for taking care of our beautiful city, and providing efficient, safe, and cleanness services! Great work to all who work at CABQ SWMD.

What year were all these units retired? I'm surprised the city didn't retire them early
