Leach Packmasters at Pomona Landfill, Early 1960's

(Michel Ferro Collection) Landfill served eastern L.A. County from 1957-2000. Here's a brief look at activity in the early days

Sadly this is a very short clip, but what a sight to see: the wining combo of Leach Packmaster and White 3000 cabover. Sign menu reads " $1.00 per ton, 0.50 minimum"

Working for the Pomona city park dept. I remember going there when we get a full truck of wood chips from the wood chipper

the good old spadra landfill, I dumped there many times inthe 80s and 90s when puente hills dump had a daily tonnage limit so you had run to spadra when it would close sometimes as early as 11 o clock in morning, puente hills took away the tonnage limit about 4 years ago and stay open all day

I know landfills are kind of an eyesore in urban areas to many nearby residents, but I actually enjoyed going to them to unload

some of the flashes of light on the film, can be radiation coming from the dirt that's being dug up

LOL those drivers must have had left leges the size of tree trunks with all the cluch'en and shifting they did with those old trucks! Automatics are nice for stop and go all day but thats back in the day when truckers earned there money! Awsome vid!
