Pomona -- Residential (WM)

- Waste Management's residential accounts in the City of Pomona have always been one of the most interesting things to me. Since these HOAs don't fall under the city's regulations, many have had the same level of service with WM for more than 20 years. This means that some of the accounts in the city are still manually collected - something hard to find from WM in Southern California. However, with more and more recycling mandates coming from the state of California, automation has slowly made its way to Pomona. Seen here are three garbage trucks that service the city.
(0:00) - 264515: Over the summer, I found out that one of the last manual accounts in Pomona was being automated. My task at work one afternoon was to put together the automation letters for the Tradewind Condos HOA. On the Wednesday of that week, the route manager introduced me to the driver who does the route, Jose Maldonado. He told me what time he usually gets to Tradewind, and the next day, I met him out there to see the last manual collection at this HOA! Riding with Maldonado is David Castillo, who was training with him for the day. At the time, David was one of the newest additions to the team, transferring from WM's Lewisville yard, and wow was he an amazing driver. He became the fastest driver in the yard (one of my favorite stories was how he covered the RL route for a day and finished by 11 in the morning) and was going to be the new driver trainer. Unfortunately, David had to transfer back to Texas because of some medical issues in his family so this was the only time I ever got to see him in action. Anyway, it was really awesome seeing this route get collected before it was automated. As much of an automated fan as I am, I liked how this was manual because Maldonado used to take a Curotto Can out to service this and one other manual account. Huge set outs at some of the condos and somehow, people got carts from all over the County. The cart roll out came through the Saturday after this was filmed so I'm glad I got it just in time.
(11:34) - 263453: Today, I went out to La Verne in hopes of seeing Rosendo Pimienta. I thought he was covering a recycle route but it turns out that he was one of a couple guys scouring the city for Christmas trees. He ended up going out to The Oaks community to collect a few trees over there, so I was glad to be able to catch a Mack over here again.
(12:36) - 105531: About a month after I filmed Mike in this HOA last time (2 years ago now), he received a brand new "Think Green, Think Clean" Amrep since he kept breaking down. I was curious as to how he'd handle this HOA now in an ASL, so today, I stopped by after Pimienta finished. He's able to maneuver through the tight streets much better since there's no bucket in front but still has to get out quite a bit to move carts around like when he had a Curotto. Arm speed on the truck is actually pretty good - overall Mike said he likes this truck quite a bit.
Hope you all enjoy a glimpse of Waste Management's residential work in Pomona! Only one manual account remains and the days are numbered before it becomes automated.
Thanks for watching and thanks to all the WM drivers featured in the video! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
been a long night of trying to catch up on all these late night uploads lol. Great seeing a wM manual collection! Also hot dam does Mike have it tough in that H.O.A, probably is loving how much difference a few feet in length between the ASL and curroto makes
Thanks! Haha yeah he said he's liking the Amrep more, only complaint is how tall the cab is
Great video, loved all the trucks
Thanks dude
What time do you live in? No trace of garbage separation !!!!!
Awesome video dude! That’s cool how WM still has a manual route in SoCal! Those guys are pretty fast to. Wonder how that LA cart got out there. That Mack looks really nice sucks there weren’t many trees out. That Amrep was really fast from Curroto to ASL not bad compared to Rubens situation. Overall great video!
Thanks bro! Haha I was surprised so many people had carts over here, especially seeing some from Claremont, LA, and Valley Vista. Yeah the Mack wasn't even planning on going to Pomona but when I told him there were a few trees in Pomona he went over to pick them up. Oh man I bet Ruben misses the Autoreach! Thanks again!
I’ve really enjoyed my time at WM ... but do to poor management and poor equipment I’m forced to leave ... it’s been a great 3 years I really enjoy what I do ... sad it has to come to an end like this . Great video bro
So sorry to hear that, hope you will like wherever you end up at 👍 if you don't mind me asking, what site were you out of?
Thanks for watching man

Does waste management hire brand new cdl holders and how much do they pay new guys?
Nice vid, Aaron, this use to be Jose Mentado's old route Pomona hand toss route , truck still looks good, I can't believe it still has the 3 points of contact sticker on it , lol..
Thanks Omar!!!! I always wanted to see Mentado on this route! Haha yeah I love those 3 point contact stickers, good job with that ;-)
that curro can and wm truck are really dirty, they dont have a truck spa at Operations?
The first truck in the video was actually scheduled to be washed right after he got back from this route haha
Nice Vid Man
Ur My Favorite CZcamsr
I never miss one of ur vids
What’s ur favorite department
Like G.I. Or Something
Thanks man appreciate the comment. GI is definitely my favorite 👌 and yeah I work part time at WM right now
Holy crab, Mike Vasquez finally on ASL , wow I thought I would never see the day , crazy , by the way Rs Rs is me also , I commented a bit ago on Mentado's old hand toss route, are those 2 new drivers on that route , never see them before and don't look familiar, must be new hires,,,,
LMAO! I was surprised too, thought he'd be in a Curotto Can forever! Yes sir Maldonado transferred in from Santa Clarita and the other guy he was riding with was a transfer from Texas. Maldonado took over Mentado's route after he was let go :-( Good guys.
Thank you as always for the comments Omar, love hearing from you!
Nice Video Man
I can’t believe how good the ASL is
Waste Management is an Really Good Company
Do u work with WM?
I take it they dump at the new transfer in Pomona except for greens and recycle?
Pretty sure it's all taken to Azusa
forgot about that one lol haven't seen the new transfer in Pomona I still see city trucks dumping burrtec MRF unless that's for greens and recycle
Nice video dude, but sad to see so many recyclables like boxes going in the garbage
Thank you, you'll be happy to hear that recycling has now been implemented in the first HOA!
Where I live it costs *MORE TO COLLECT AND PROCESS* than they make reselling the recycled stuff

Yes
0:45 I think that they wanted that little bin empty not in the trash

Cool video! It's amazing that the HOA route like this lasted as long as it did. I'm guessing they were grandfathered in? Are they going to introduce organics as well at a later date? Seems that they generate more than 4 yards. Awesome to see some Burgundy WMX Toters still surviving in the other HOA!
Thank you! WM has been trying to get them to automate for years and they finally agreed to it, especially since recycling was offered for free. No organics planned yet but wouldn't surprise me with all of California's crazy mandates. Tons of cool WMX stuff in that second HOA!

where in pamona is this?
Off Reservoir
Love the trucks nice vid 👍
Nice video. What is your favorite football team?
Thank you. Probably gonna have to go with Green Bay 👍
Nice video!
Wow! Great job catching the last of the manual operations while you could! Those were some supersized setouts. Did they collect recycle separately at all or just mix everything? Great carts in the HOA too.
Thanks! They didn't have recycle at the first HOA until they automated so it did make for some great set outs.
wow that's a lot of garbage on that Street
Haha yeah they throw out a lot
