Old Garbage Truck in the New 'Hood - 36823

Last year around this time we moved out to the West Valley right by the edge where the city turns into county. Sanitation wise, West Valley also happens to be the yard sporting some of the coolest and fastest trucks in the whole city. The majority of the diesels that got transferred here a couple years back are the same ones I grew up seeing over the hill in West LA until about 2017, so it's pretty fun to have those trucks on my route once again. It's pretty obvious they are run faster and harder than they ever had been for the first 12 years or so of their life in West LA, and the fastest one I've seen to date (at least in my opinion) oddly enough happens to have collected trash in my new neighborhood.
I used to see 823 several times driving around my old part of town years ago, and if memory serves me right, it might have even collected at my old house once or twice. Unfortunately, this truck burned down last week likely beyond repair. See photos here: www.flickr.com/photos/lafd/52...
Big thanks to the driver for letting me get some video! Enjoy!

I actualy saw 823 after It was burned to a medium rare, I was walking in the hallway at school and saw a tow truck drive by and 823 with a burnt cab getting towed.

Is this still a common sight out there? If so, I gotta head down there to see it in person! Lol.

[@socalgarbagetrucks2585]

In West Valley absolutely. Other yards pretty much no. Id definitely recommend a trip out here to see these in person if you haven’t done so already.
