L.A.'s 1st Amrep "N3" Automated Garbage Truck
Here it is L.A. Sanitations first Amrep N3 arm!
This truck was orignally bought with the original Amrep arm but they decided they wanted to test one out so they swapped the arm.
Its been a while since this truck has been bought but it finally found a route! Thanks to a few inside sources. ;) I was able to finally track down this beast after months of asking and wondering where it went. Overall I can't complain, it does somewhat suit L.A.s conditions. From what I heard the N3 arm is built more toward easier maintenance since there are less sensors and breaking systems for the cart system. As well as it being substantially lighter by about a few hundred pounds I believe. Overall I think the city couldn't have chose a better spot to put this on route extremely compact and lots and lots of trash. Well I can blab all day about this truck but what do you guys think?
I hope y'all enjoy!
A personal thanks to the driver for his kindness and professionalism in those streets with impatient not so smart drivers just simply making his job harder. He handled it really well with cars just coming out from blind corners and always trying to get in front of him.
Thanks again to the driver and the City of Los Angeles Sanitation for making this possible.

Awesome video! Absolutely love how this truck has to deal with the arm slowing down at the top and is still able to flip those lids. very fun to watch!
think Mike is correct about the timing being the biggest factor in lids staying open or shut when the N3 is through with them. awesome driver and stellar filming here, I'm a major fan of
I came here to figure out if I parked too close to a trash can in L.A. Thank you for this video!
Haha glad you were able to head out there and find this truck! Wow! What a cool truck! I was quite surprised to see it flip lids and the speed of the arm was much faster than before. I was also quite shocked and surprised to see LA finally use this truck on route. I'm also surprised to hear they're gonna buy more of these after hearing that a lot of drivers hated this arm. Man so many insanely long lines of trash too, it's actually pretty sad in a way. I hope to find this truck sometime this summer as well. Great footage! Can't wait to see more of these pop up!
Ay dude! I just filmed this driver today. I've filmed him in 36513 before. He was in 488 today , 206 was down. He mentioned you! Real nice guy!
Awesome Video TrashMaster684 and Efficient Driver !
So... You're the first one to film this! I was wondering who would be first to film LA's new N3s. Really like the speed of this one, and I'm also happy that it flips lids. After some of the other videos of the N3 arm, I was getting a little scared!
Man this driver is awesome
Enjoyed this video so much😀
And people say N3 can't flip lids lol. So this is a south LA truck? Driver looks very familiar to me. I think I've filmed him before in an Amrep Octo, if it truly is him. Arm moved pretty fast which made it a lot of fun!! Great job!
Great video Sean! I'm glad that your the first one to get video, I can't wait to see the 25 that they are getting soon on route. I also wonder which yards will get the n3 trucks. I sure will miss the old trucks and the LNG Octos when the 80 new trucks replace them though. Nice video again!
Nice video
Gerardo Hernandez love you
Future of LA Sanitation if what I hear is true. And I couldnt be happier either. I really like these and this one is particularly smooth too which is awesome to see. good stuff, Ive been waiting for someone to track one of these down. theae things move through a line of carts so much more efficiently than the older versions too, especially compared to modern versions of the previous arm. I hope this arm takes Amrep to the next level.
Great video! I noticed this truck lid flips a lot unlike others. Is this the only one LA has? Liked and faved!

Is this unit still in service?
He is my trash diver in south la 206
I figured someone else would get footage of 206 before Tony, Kirk and I did, as we planned to do so sometime in these weeks following the South LA Open House where we got the route. Nevertheless, awesome video. I don't think I've ever seen an N3 open nearly every lid on its route, then again this is after all an LA truck ;). Did you happen to ask this driver's opinion on how he likes it compared to the regular arm? I personally won't mind seeing more of these around the city once their next order comes in. In terms of the actual trash in this video, it really can't get more South LA with lines of overfilled black cans probably full of recyclable materials and the occasional blue can full of trash. Speaking of which, brings me to a question that no one has ever seemed to be able to give me a straight answer on... Does South LA take all trash to an MRF to be sorted?? Otherwise I don't see how in the world the city can claim to recycle 76% of its trash. Besides that, thanks for sharing this unique footage. Did you ever happen to see my video of 36270 in West LA? We are finally starting to get in the 2016 units, slowly but surely.
Awesome video!!! I've been so excited to see this on route! It's really interesting to see how different drivers operate the N3, like this guy just throws the arm down (which is really fun to watch) similar to the WM one in El Cajon, and there's other drivers that sort of stop the arm on the way down, like the Republic one. I sort of expected LA to operate their N3 like this haha Man there's a lot of trash out there! You think the lines out here are bigger than the ones you filmed in Chinatown [almost a decade ago lol]? Curious how long this truck has been on route, I noticed the rims are still super shiny which looks awesome. Do you know if this truck came with those mirrors? After West Valley, I realized a lot of their HX-450s have those new mirrors, so I'm curious if they were installed within the past few years since I never knew so many trucks had them. Fantastic post! Great to finally see this!
