In Seal Beach, residential trash collection is mainly automated, or in part of the city, semi-automated. But there is this one small strip of beachfront homes along a one-way alley which receive twice-a-week manual collection using traditional style trash cans. Property owners of multi-unit buildings can also choose to use a commercial bin instead. This is the same truck I filmed last fall collecting carts in the narrow alleys, this time with it's usual crew. This small route is collected as part of a commercial load on Mondays, and residential on Thursdays. The odd catch to the one-way alley, is that the crew has to travel the opposite way since the truck cannot make a proper right turn at the alley's end. The bin used as the bucket for manual collection is borrowed from the first building with commercial service and brought back at the end of the route. However, since the Thursday area is semi-automated alleys, they bring a proper bucket with tippers. Big thanks goes to Javier & James for the video....and parts 2 & 3. Comment and rate please.

PART 3: Coming soon

At the time, everything was recycled. This load was taken to CR Transfer (CR&R) for sorting. The crew then began dumping at Rainbow Transfer & Recycling five days a week due to them being a Republic company. Rainbow no longer sorts through regular trash, so none of this material gets recycled anymore, as of today. Giving even more reason for the Long Beach yard to streamline the collection process.
