Waste Management has serviced the unincorporated region of Highgrove since the Western Waste days. Back in the day, Western Waste and BFI Loma Linda were the main competitors in the city. BFI eventually sold that operation to USA Waste in the late 1990s, and for many years, the trucks came all the way from Corona to service what used to be a small area. In recent years, the Moreno Valley yard took over servicing Highgrove as it continues to grow today. Here are three trucks I've seen on route last year.
(0:00) - 103541: These few streets in Highgrove are serviced by the Corona yard since the big trucks can no longer fit down them. Back in the day, Highgrove was a small town with hardly any traffic, so the big trucks would collect one side of the street, back out and make a T turn on the main road, then back down the other side. Now, a large, busy street cuts through Highgrove, making it impossible for the big trucks to service these few homes safely. WM sends this mini now to do a single pass run through here, then takes it to Agua Mansa Transfer Station for mixed waste processing. Anyway, I stumbled upon this mini hustling through the route one Friday and decided to get some video since the driver was running the truck really well. These minis have a lot of issues apparently so I'm glad I found him when I did. I was hoping to catch their other mini on this route but the times he was coming were so inconsistent that I never saw him on the route after this.
(5:59) - 103869: In the new part of Highgrove, Mike and I found this truck picking up trash. It was nice to see another 2012 moving at a good speed and Victor was really cool. When I filmed this last year, those new Rehrig EGs were barely starting to pop up, so I thought it was cool to see some getting collected.
(9:52) - 103526: In the older part of town, we saw some old BFI Ottos on route. Since the greens truck was in the area too, I decided to grab some clips.
Thanks to all the awesome WM drivers as always!
