GreenWaste Recovery | San Jose's Unique "Loose" Yard Waste Collection (2)

Hey guys, here's a video featuring two of GreenWaste Recovery's many Heil Big Bites.
During the summer of 2021, I made a good effort to try to film these 2002 Peterbilt 320 Heil Big Bites. A photo surfaced of the brand new rear loaders that GWR purchased for their contract renewal; New Way King Cobras(?) and Leach 2RIIIs all mounted on Mack LRs. As soon as I saw that, I knew the clock was ticking for these oldies.
Some of the 2008 Peterbilt 320 Leach 2RIIIs have already been taken out of service and pushed back to the spare role to make way for the new rear loaders, even though they're a full five years younger than these Big Bites. There's nothing that makes me doubt that these aren't next to be replaced. The 2008 CAT 914G loaders have also begun to be replaced with brand new Volvo L45H loaders.
The original #206 as far as I know has just recently been taken out of regular service. My drivers put in a request to have a replacement since it was the slowest performing Heil in the yard according to them. I now have a Mack LR Leach 2RIII running on my route, which I will try to film in the coming months. I do not know if they intend on selling/scraping/parting out the old #206, or if they intend to do what they did with another unit and that was to completely repaint, refurbish, and renumber it. I was intending on saving this video for a later date, but that revelation expedited the release of this video.
I do have one more video of these trucks stowed away. I'm pretty 2021 will be the last summer where these trucks will be regular route trucks.
Thank you to all of the drivers featured for allowing me to film!
Enjoy the video!

I saw one of the new Mack LR rear-loaders the other day. I was VERY surprised to see Green Waste is using Mack chassis for their new trucks instead of Peterbilt or Autocar.
