City of Tucson Environmental Services

A near 2 hour drive from Phoenix lies the city of Tucson. The municipal run solid waste department was one of the first to have a complete Scorpion ASL fleet with around 65 or so units. In the past, the city of Tucson has ran pretty much everything from Lodals to Rapid Rails for curbside and alley operation. This video showcases the current oldest (and now retired) Scorpion ASL 7051 followed by a Mantis AFL, and then the newest Scorpion ASL 7097. The city of Tucson has now received 11 new 2016 Scorpion ASLs. Enjoy the footage!

Man that old school 320 looks awesome haha think those might be my favorite generation of the 320. Love the light green turn-keys too. It was fun seeing the Mantis handle those large dumpsters! Side saddle CNG looks great. Great video! Tucson has some awesome trucks!

It’s crazy how 7051 went from the recycle truck in this video to a CNG scorpion to an Amrap 520 N3 to now a spartan

Great video! I really enjoyed the 300s, that driver was very good at picking those up!

Amazing video! I sure hope to film in Tucson. In the mean time, I will be filming some of the rear load fleet of Scottsdale.

[@RefuseArizona]

Thank you! That's great to hear man, can't wait for the footage!!

[@dagve71]

Great Video!! Surprised they still have 7051 running. Too bad the city doesn't have anymore Autocars. I believe the city also has three white mini Condor RRs for smaller streets. What area was this?

[@RefuseArizona]

I have no idea, I didn't know the area but was directed to the location of the routes. they all were in the ghetto part of Tucson. They have actually two of those mini rapid rails. Thank you for the comment!

[@RefuseArizona]
