Garbage Truck Compilation • GFL Environmental of Houston, Texas!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Here’s my grand showcase of GFL’s solid waste operations around the Houston area! There’s been little to no coverage of GFL in Texas over the years, so I figured it was finally time to explore and document their crews hustling around these lime green machines. Overtime, they’ve acquired multiple smaller companies, with the significantly largest one being WCA back in 2020. Each adventure to a different community really showed how diverse GFL’s fleet currently is, including lots of units I didn’t even know they had. There’s quite a bit that’s not included in this video I have yet to find, so look forward to that in the future. I don’t do compilations much because this took almost a year to make, but I’m very interested in hearing which truck(s) y’all found most enjoyable. Without further ado, hope you enjoy!
Thanks to every single refuse truck driver/equipment operator for interacting and allowing me to record them at work!

@@RefuseDFW02 I was a helper. I started soon as I turned 18, they were already trying to recruit me ahead of time while I was 16-17. I live in central florida so my wca yard I’ve known them since I was about 12-13 im 21 now so a lot of the guys seen me grow up lol. But once I got there it was decent at first. But our equipment was shitty. All the trucks in our yard are from 2014, nothing gets fixed at all. All of our trucks literally would get you through half a route only. It was like slavery. We’d start at 5 am sometimes and not finish til literally sometimes 9 pm. The county got so tired of us they gave up the contract and now FCC took over 😂

@@kertifiedsmaxka9213 yikes, I wasn’t too familiar with their work environment when they were still around, but I heard quite a few bad things about them. At least that here some crews were super sloppy. What site in Florida was that? I love older trucks (seeing > working on them) but if no one’s around to maintain them it’s a headache…

@@RefuseDFW02 it was in Tavares FL, there were only I believe one or two other yards in the area, one in Orlando but that’s mainly commercial for some reason. All their trucks are rolloffs and front loaders, and then another one in Orange city florida, we used to trade trucks with them a lot, we’d get a lot of their used stuff or let them borrow our barely working equipment💀
My husband is a district manager in Washington State for a garbage company and my three year old son is obsessed with garbage trucks! He has watched this particular video so many times he has the whole thing memorized! He really loves watching this. Thanks for making!

Thank you! I know you were one of the first people that really wanted to see GFL in another state besides Florida. They ordered a handful of new trucks, and already rolled out new carts to replace the old ones in some contracted areas.
Excellent video bro and nice variety of trucks.

Is that neon corotto driver driving from the other side? How could he see from that angle😱
Your lucky GFL is really good down in Houston. Up here in Raleigh NC, GFL Bought out Waste Industries, replacing professional and loving service to absolute SHIT, Im talking about mistreatment of cans (so you buy one of the new shitty ones that isn't even flexible), drivers using manual side loader trucks to break cans, knocking down other cans without getting out to pick it up, leaving trash on the road etc. Lucky you got good GFL teams and crew. This video is a masterpiece.

Thank you! Yeah you aren’t the first I’ve heard that GFL in other states is terrible. Especially at the management level
they actually bought wca waste back in 2020, it was waste industries they got in 2018 I think, cool compilation of lime green trucks
