Priority Waste - Mack MRU / Heil FL

Turns out that green wasn't for life. 007 is now 307.

That's pretty cool they were able to acquire all of those GFL contracts in MI and grow so much. Hopefully they can maintain a better service. I saw an article recently speculating GFL may be looking to completely offload their hauling business. If they did I bet LRS would snap up a lot of the remaining Midwest stuff. Nice video!

It will be interesting to see how things shake out for them in the long run. They've been struggling majorly since they took over. Largely due to the GFL fleet being severely neglected. But they're also the only real option anymore. WM no-bids everything, Republic exited residential here too.

@@mtr82952 I heard a bunch of GFL employees were putting in their two weeks, and yeah republic did sell their residential contracts to priority as well, WM is focused on landfills and commercial I believe. Stevens is still around, but the only city they got over here is riverview and Monroe. Maybe tringail could expand on residential and make their way down here

@@mtr82952 Yeah I saw a couple news stories with the usual 'customer hasn't had trash picked up in weeks' and interviewing Priority saying they were handed a fleet of junkers with several unfit for operation. IIRC a good chunk of the fleet was old Rizzo stuff so I can imagine they've had some poor maintenance over their lifespan. Locally St. Paul has finalized their new contracts with FCC and Eureka! for the coming periods. FCC will takeover 90% of the city April 1st 2025. SP Public Works will commence hauling the other 10% then as well. FCC is working on building a new facility in the city and will get a brand new fleet of CNG trucks for the contract. Hopefully everything switches over without too many issues. WM has been fine for trash collection but they've already missed my YW once this season and twice had to delay pickup due to staffing or equipment. Eureka will continue with the recycling, they've gotten a little better lately but still get the cart left in the street sometimes or super late pickup time like they're shortstaffed.
