LA Sanitation - West Valley Sunday Route

This past Tuesday hundreds of workers across the city gathered together and went on strike, causing a massive delay in public services, one of which being trash collection. Tuesday thru Thursday routes got delayed through the end of the week, pushing all the Friday routes into the weekend. As was the case in at least West and East Valley, only trash routes were run on Saturday, leaving several people confused as to when their other two containers would be picked up. Then, for the first time in recent city history, about a dozen side loaders rolled out of the West Valley yard bright and early Sunday morning to collect the enormous Friday route's green waste.
It was pretty wild watching residential trucks collect on a Sunday, not just for someone who has been filming for 10 years but also for the residents who have also never witnessed anything like it. After talking with a couple drivers, it sounds like those who worked Saturday and Sunday signed up voluntarily to get some overtime. From what it looked like on my end, there was just a free-for-all of who was collecting where and at what time. And remarkably enough, the few drivers that did end up working today seemed to finish all of it before 2pm.
You'll see several neat trucks in this video, from a free falling CNG 320 to a diesel 520 rental. Enjoy the fun line Peter and I set up as well. Huge thanks to all the awesome drivers for their dedication and for letting us film.

Great video! That’s crazy they were picking up on Sunday. All of those trucks are pretty cool and especially the white Amrep

Very good video

Awesome video! Only witnessed Sunday residential collection once back in 2021 when Republic was catching up here after the strike. Definitely weird to see but always makes for an interesting time whether you get to witness it in-person or watch someone’s video about it. Cool to see a rental Amrep as well as the zippy CNG Amrep and a Diesel Octo. Do you know if they just have that one rental or if they got multiple?
