While most of Waste Management's fleet in Santa Maria is relatively uniformed, they had a couple oddball garbage trucks running around. This ex-Anderson Rubbish truck was one of their neat units that was being used as a spare back in 2021. When GI Industries bought Anderson, the initial plan was to have the Octos replace the aging Freightliner Condor Octos at both Atascadero and Santa Maria. For various reasons, only 2 Octos made their way up to the Central Coast, and AWA was quick to send this truck over to Santa Maria after a short time of using it. From what the driver said, the controls on this truck were backwards from the usual Amrep he drove, which is why he struggled to operate in a smooth manner. Despite that issue, I wanted to grab some video with how good the truck sounded, and also with the more unique blue Cascades that populate the area. I've only seen blue Cascades in this color in Northern California for the most part. Definitely neat how HSS chose to not only use Cascades in this shade of blue, but also put the iconic HSS logo on them too. Unfortunately there weren't any Zarns in this area but I would have loved to see this truck picking them up. Also a big fan of the aluminum rims on this truck - by the time GI put aluminum rims on their Octos, I barely had a chance to grab pictures of them, let alone video.
Thanks to the driver for making this video possible and a big thanks to Eli for showing me around!
