One of my missions this past winter break was to document a hauler in Southern California that has seen little to no spotlight on KZitem. It just so happened that Westside Waste, a family owned disposal company out of Taft, CA, has had no videos on KZitem until Marcus (WasteMan226) and I headed out there the week of Christmas 2020. With some help from Isaac (Northwest Garbage Trucks) who had passed through the area just a few weeks prior, we ventured out hoping to find their blue and green painted Volvo Bridgeport with the OG ghetto looking bridgeport arm.
Our first trip out there was a slight bust being that they really had no residential route to speak of in any of their service areas on Wednesdays...just cardboard collection downtown (too hard to film) and our paths happening to cross with a really friendly bulk crew who you see loading the Freightliner FL80 Heil 5000 in this video. The very next day we headed out to Taft yet again, with word that they would be doing double routes that day, essentially finishing up for the week on a Thursday being that Christmas was on a Friday. That Thursday we found far more residential trucks (unfortunately the blue Volvo Bridgeport seemed to be out of service), including a friendly driver in an older Autocar Bridgeport, a 520 Bridgeport with the newer style arm, and a couple Autocar ACX and even an LR Bridgeport that we didn’t end up getting any footage of. Overall, Westside Waste is a pretty cool hauler and I’m happy to get some of the first footage of their trucks. Though they have definitely been modernized/“brainwashed” by the Bridgeport fad that has seemed to take over the lower half of California’s central valley, they still keep things relatively interesting with a diverse selection of chassis’ that is pretty un-uniform compared to most other haulers. Being 100% diesel also makes their fleet slightly more out of the ordinary in the state, though not surprisingly due to their secluded location.
Huge thanks to the friendly drivers who let us grab video, and I hope this video finds you well if you happen to be watching it!
