Waste Management Carry Can Garbage Truck on Heavy Fall Leaves and Pumpkins!

Hey everyone! Here's some fall footage from my route 🍂
Hard to believe it's that time of year again - the first video I ever recorded in Seattle was on my trip up during Thanksgiving 2022 before permanently moving here. That was also one of my favorite videos of all time, and still is, given the vibrant colors in the Northwest. So, needless to say... I've been excited to get s'more fall footage this year! As yesterday was Veterans Day, I had the day off of school - which meant a Friday trash day at home! Amiss light rain and yellow trees, I followed my compost driver through the entirety of his route in my neighborhood and managed to get these 15 minutes of footage. Each residence is allowed 10 free leaf bags per week for the month of November (instead of $7/extra), and a few homes took advantage of this - now I have a glimpse into what you East Coasters get to film such high volumes of haha. Almost half the cans had one or several pumpkins from halloween two weeks before - definitely the most colorful these Carry Cans are gonna get! As usual, I had a ton of fun recording these clips - always happy to bring more WM of Seattle to the table! Huge thanks to my driver, Kenny, for always allowing me to film - Enjoy the video!!

[@WMAC_Master]

well i see that there is indeed an east coast vibe to this. Great work! one of my favorite wm cities on the west coast

[@RecologySpencer]

During Leaf Season, yep! Thanks, WM of Seattle is pretty unusual given their system of collection - and WM doesn't service residential in many other big cities I know of.

[@RecologySpencer]

Thanks man!

[@zp12684]

Never realized Seattle homes could produce this much organic waste! How many extra loads does he have to do this time of year? Loved the camera work too, you got some really cool shots

[@RecologySpencer]

Driver said he has to double load sometimes in November... although not on my route, at least not this week, as it's his lightest.
