Happy New Year everyone!
First off, a big thank you to the drivers. If any of y’all are seeing this, whether I met you just once or have known you since I was barely able to talk, thank you. Truly appreciate everything you guys do not just for the city, but for me personally. Giving me childhood memories to look back on, instilling my interest in garbage trucks those many years ago, and inspiring me to make this channel. A big thanks to the following drivers:

…and anybody else I may have missed. Again, some of y’all I barely just met a few weeks ago, some I only saw once and never again, some I built more of a connection with, and some I’ve even known for almost my whole life. Whatever the case may be, I truly appreciate everything you guys do and look forward to more next year.
And now for the rest of y’all watching. Thank you so much for a great first year. Garbage trucks have been a big interest of mine since I was a baby and it just feels good knowing there’s so many others, whether younger or older, who share this unique interest with me. Really appreciate all of you guys who watched, commented, liked, subscribed, or interacted with me on KZread/social media. Out of the 12 months of this past year, I only consistently ran this channel for about 3 of them. So I’m very happy with what I’ve accomplished in such a short amount of time, hopefully this is just the start of something much bigger. I got a lot planned out for 2024 outside of this channel, but I’m still gonna keep busy with this. Hopefully explore the rest of LA filming the different trucks of each yard. So far it’s only been East Valley, but hopefully that changes this coming year. Maybe even expanding outside of the city to the haulers and companies of nearby cities such as Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Santa Clarita, Burbank, Pasadena, Glendale, and much more. This is only the beginning, and I look forward to what this next year holds.
This is my first large-compilation video, and consists of my favorite clips filmed from this year. I chose these clips either because they had my favorite trucks or favorite drivers. I made sure to include a lot of diesel octos for y’all, hope you guys enjoy that. To all the trash truck lovers, new and old, who are watching, thank you, and Happy New Year!
