1 Hour of Awesome Garbage Trucks! The Best and Baddest Trucks of EJ Harrison
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
I've been wanting to make a compilation like this for a while now but only just got around to editing it. Despite the sheer size of this video, this is not even all the footage I have, and you are sure to see more full videos of some of the trucks in the near future.
A little over 6 years ago, wanting to take advantage of a newly acquired drivers license, I took many trips around SoCal to film in areas where public transit wouldn't take me. After one successful trip to Newbury Park to film EJ, I soon made several more to Ventura, Camarillo, Fillmore, and beyond. Each trip had the sole purpose of finding their older equipment (like so many of us do) before it was phased out. I was ecstatic to finally film what I though then, and still consider to be, one of the coolest private haulers in Southern California. It's crazy to think that 5-6 years later I would be driving some of the very trucks I was filming then - with the very intention of filming them as I knew they might not have much longer on the road. While many of the trucks showcased in this compilation have since been retired, or rebodied for that matter, a good few surprisingly still see routes multiple times a week. Nonetheless, the unavoidable arrival of new trucks has slowly begun to replace parts of the fleet one by one. However with a team of highly skilled welders and mechanics, the company is preserving bits and pieces from the past by rebodying old Amreps onto new chassis, so we can't complain too much in that regard.
Having spent hours going through this footage prior to uploading, it was cool seeing what I was able to document back then. It was especially neat seeing aspects of the company that no longer exist, such as much of the Thousand Oaks contract and every other week recycle/yardwaste collection. I encourage you to use the legend below to work your way through the video and skip around as much as you like. Whether you want to watch specific trucks, or just binge the whole thing! And as always, a big thanks to all the drivers for allowing me to film!

Watched this a few times, so many goodies. Miss the days of 310s running around all over the place out there but still a solid variety these days. You are lucky to work for such a badass company!
I think this video you just uploaded is the mother of all Harrison content… So much to see, I am about 10 minutes in and will have to come back to finish it later, loving those 310 FLs so far.
