Frontier Waste Solutions’ First Weeks in Helotes TX

Effective March 1, Frontier became the new hauler for the city of Helotes, taking it from Republic. After Republic bought out C6, Helotes became a contract that Republic had some struggles with. After a little over a year with Republic, Helotes decided that Republic just didn’t cut it. In February of this year, they terminated their contract with Republic and awarded it to Frontier, further expanding Frontier’s presence in the San Antonio market. Here are the two trucks that frontier brought in to service the city, collecting on their second week here. Frontier rolled out brand new trash cans to all residents but just put stickers on all the recycle bins, as C6 had rolled out recycle bins here a little over a year ago. While it sucks that a city full of Zarns got replaced with new carts, it’s cool that some buyout carts are sticking around. The Pete 548 McNeilus will have a full video in the future while the ZR just has the clips seen here. Enjoy the video!
Big thanks to the friendly drivers for letting me film!

Awesome video man.

The tippers on the 548 Heavy Duty RL are fast! Glad you filmed that one. The ZR was also cool to see. Too bad all those Zarns are gone and replaced with EGs, and the cart lids make it pretty confusing. Yellow lids are usually recycle but they were used for trash in this city. Great video!

Indeed they were fast. I was pretty confused why they chose to use yellow lids for trash here, not sure why they did that. Thanks!
