Every year for over a century, the City of Pasadena has a New Years Parade called “The Rose Parade”. After the Rose Parade, the attendees leave behind a massive amount of trash. If anyone has ever wondered how the Rose Parade is cleaned up, here is the method used. Pasadena Public Works arrives to the parade route around 11 pm after the Parade with several dozen crew members, trucks and tools. There are Leaf Blowers, Rakes, Water Trucks, Street Sweepers, Dump Trucks and Backhoes.
In previous years Pasadena had a more interesting method where they would attach a carry can or commercial dumpster to all the cities Front Loader Garbage Trucks. The backhoes would empty all the trash into the dumpster and the Front Loaders would empty the trash into the hopper. The Street Sweepers would also fill up so they would dump their load into the street and a Backhoe would pick up the trash and empty it into the Front Loader. According to one of the Dump Truck Drivers, now the Dump Trucks and Street Sweepers go the city yard to unload all the trash.
Thank you to the hard working Pasadena Public Works crew and Happy New Year to Everyone!

Wow! What a neat operation! Really neat to see all the different equipment used. I always like seeing those water trucks in action, and I think that's certainly a smart way to utilize them. I never realized Pasadena had so much CNG equipment, would've been cool to see their old stuff. 8:55 - they really had some full loads! That was crazy! 14:03 was another good view of all the trash left. I still can't believe that I never thought to go watch this before you told me about it despite living so close all my life haha thanks for heading out here, turned out great! Hopefully next year they use "real" equipment :D

It is a neat operation and they certainly use a lot of equipment! The water trucks were driving up and down the streets several times and the blocks were soaking wet. The backhoes were diesel but other than than pretty much everything was CNG. There was a massive amount of trash at 8:55 and 14:03, that was the beginning of route where the T.V. cameras and announcers are along with all the bleachers. It is certainly fun watching the cleanup and I hope they go back to using Garbage Trucks. Thanks for watching and I am glad you enjoyed the video. Happy New Years!
That's nothing compared to New Orleans Mardi Gras.

The Pasadena Rose Parade is a rather large parade route that is over 5 miles long. I only filmed a couple different areas and a small portion of the Pasadena fleet that working that night. I'm not sure if this still happens but the local landfill Scholl Canyon use to open at midnight because the Refuse Trucks would all fill up from the parade route and needed to unload. I would enjoy seeing a video of the clean up from the Mardi Gras Parade. Thank you for watching and your information.
