The Chinatown Garbage Run

[@RecologyChaser]

Great video! Kinda cool to see just the trucks and garbage collectors on the street!

[@cagarbagetrucks]

Glad you enjoyed

Legend has it this route is where the Coronavirus started

[@EBZ-bx7zc]

Actually this is one of the least impacted neighborhoods by the Coronavirus based on the numbers.

Great job guys! These routes have always been so entertaining to watch over the years from those who have been lucky enough to capture them. Like that one guys channel years back that caught the route when it was unlimited trash and a bunch of people just tossing boxes into the truck. Still a pretty dirty route though obviously. Thank you for the footage.

So cool, i saw that episode back in the day too. So glad someone finally came to video this route. Those guys sure keep busy. Fantastic video!

[@TrashhMack]

Fantastic I could watch on for hours! 🇬🇧🙏

[@zp12684]

Wow thanks for getting this!!! I can't imagine what went through their minds when 3 guys walked up to them at 12am and asked if they could record lol but that was great they were so cool with it! I'm amazed how quiet the trucks are, guess the residents can't complain about noise now

[@FresnoRefuseTrucks]

I agree now people don't have a choice the trucks is quiet thanks to cng. But they mostly they complain about the commercial dumpsters

[@trashmonster26]

Fresno Refuse Trucks the truck is diesel, just ran at idle. It’s still pretty loud banging dumpsters all night long, but there’s really no other way to do it

[@sylvainphaneuf394]

i would have said to them i call the police you are kiddos not allowed to be outside and put them in juvy jail

[@RefuseDFW02]

Awesome video! Always enjoy downtown collections especially during sleep hours. Looks like it was easier to record with less traffic. Really enjoyed watching those crews!

[@ct_refuse]

YES!!! I've been wanting to see this for soooo long!!!! This was awesome! I loved that PT1000, especially the neat tippers. Great job! Really enjoyed!

[@noahater5785]

love the white noise backup alarms some of these trucks have

[@cagarbagetrucks]

Yeah, Recology trucks have started to use those in SF. I think it helps with the echo and noise pollution (in addition to safety).

[@doubleaa658]

That’s because people complain about the other loud back up alarm

[@brandokenobi267]

Great video! I’ve always wanted to film garbage trucks at midnight

[@BluFlame3712]

Ah, the infamous Chinatown garbage route introduced to all by Mike Rowe!

[@cagarbagetrucks]

Absolutely!

[@Mongchong_123]

Great footage!!

[@cartman4885]

I am always amazed at how times in these types of videos you see other people filming the same thing...................

[@sylvainphaneuf394]

it s because they are no-brainiacs kiddos who are suposed to be in bed and minding their own businesses

[@GarbageTrucksofSanJose]

been wanting to film SF chinatown for a long time, always liked seeing them run up stairs and in the dark, even though they dont do that anymore. plus, the food of my people is within arms reach lol (albeit basically all of them are closed at this time)

[@gotpcfix]

Garbage Trucks of San Jose we still do. I do every night

[@MendocinoRefuseTrucks]

The dumpsters loud, the breaks are loud, but having actual backup alarms, that's too damn much

[@contracostawaste]

Neat video! Really enjoyed watching. I filmed a split RL in Chinatown, did you happen to see that?

[@FresnoRefuseTrucks]

Nice, I like seeing them in the dark. I watched that dirty jobs episode too and things have changed. Everything is carted and no longer uses sack. When I went to Chinatown in 2016 they still used the sack deal and I only saw green carts out. Recology has done a lot to keep sf area clean, btw did you catch the recycling truck? I wished they sent the split out.

[@gotpcfix]

Fresno Refuse Trucks they do send a split in a small part but the others have containers. We still use sacks for some of our inside accounts. I’m one of the guys on that truck by the way

[@garbagetrucksofsanmarcosca]

Awesome great video dude in the dark yay 😀 bro excellent work too dude. Was this early in the morning ? or really late at night? Just wondering what time this was filmed at exactly.

[@brandokenobi267]

This was at midnight

You gotta eat the lettuces, right, just straight up eat the lettuce.

[@garbagetrucksofsacramento2414]

Hi Colby

[@TheGoalie712]

Why is there that trash can on the back at all times

[@cagarbagetrucks]

This route does have some stops where the smaller carts are considered "drive up" service, so the carts are located in the building itself, so they dump those carts into the bigger cart, then dump that cart into the rear loader.

[@TheGoalie712]

@@cagarbagetrucks oh ok i always wanted to drive a trash truck in san francisco is it hard to memorize all that trash cans inside of the building?

[@gotpcfix]

@@TheGoalie712 I’m one of the guys from the video. We use the can mainly to swap with the same size under garbage chutes so we don’t have to make multiple trips into buildings. It takes a couple weeks per route to get down the inside accounts. There is overlap for different commodities so it helps.

[@TheGoalie712]

@@gotpcfix thanks for the reply I respect your work.Can I make a request to do a POV of your route I think that will be so cool.Thanks again for seeing my comment and replying to it.

No more unlimited trash? Why does Recology have to ruin everything :(

Just spent an hour watching the old leaches and then this :(
