- I was lucky to get the opportunity to take a tour of the Carson Transfer Station along with my friend. The staff there is extremely friendly and the transfer station itself is a lot of fun to tour. I was able to see many rare/unique garbage trucks running out of the Los Angeles Hauling and Compton Hauling sites. This yard also has tons of older equipment from BDC Special Services, like WhiteGMC Road Commanders. Lots of awesome trucks and carts here. This video mainly shows the trucks unloading on the tipping floor of the facility.
The Carson Transfer Station is owned and operated by Waste Management. It takes in trash and yard waste from much of the South Bay area. Their operations run 24/7 - literally. They have tractor trailers running out to the El Sobrante Landfill in Corona, CA to unload the trailers and come back to pick up another load every hour of the day. They have two shifts of drivers, day shift and night shift. Many of them work the night shift just because there is less traffic on the freeway and at the landfill during the night.
I was able to get a tour of the El Sobrante Landfill a little over a year ago as well. I learned that their facility takes in garbage from many cities across Southern California. They receive trash from their own Inland Empire Districts - Corona and Moreno Valley, the North County district- Oceanside, LA Metro Districts -- Carson and Compton, and as of this year, the San Gabriel Pomona Valley District -- Baldwin Park. So it was impressive to see so many hauling companies sending their garbage out to one landfill.
This was actually taken over a year ago at the start of 2013. I was originally going to make this my 100th upload, but I haven't been getting footage because I've been so busy. I very happy with the way the video turned out, and I'm glad I was able to capture so many cool trucks in here.
Highlights of the video:
- Autocar WXLL Roll Off, powered by CNG
- Peterbilt 320 McNeilus ZR
- Autocar ACX Amrep HX-450 ASL with yellow arm (2)
- Volvo WX-42 Wittke FEL
Also at the end there is a picture slideshow, so be sure to watch all the way through the end! Got a little surprise in the slideshow! Unfortunately, I did not get a picture of the WMX International Pump Truck that they have. For some reason I didn't get a picture. I was actually waiting to get to that side of the yard to get a closeup picture instead of a far away shot, but we never did get to it unfortunately :( I believe they do still have it though, so next time I'm in Long Beach, I'll try to get a picture.
HUGE thank you goes out to all the staff from Waste Management Inc. for allowing me to tour the Carson Transfer Station and the El Sobrante Landfill!
Also, I highly recommend you to watch the video in HD! It definitely improves the quality of the video.
Thanks for watching! Please comment and/or like!
GarbageSean Thanks! Yeah and the walls made all the engines even louder too! They were honking to let others know they were coming out because a back-up alarm isn't too useful when all the other equipment is also backing up as well haha And I will right now then!
Great variety of trucks! A lot of CNG trucks in here, some LNG too. Really cool look at that WhiteGMC roll off!
compressed natrul gas you know it
Great footage! WM sure has a great variety of trucks! It's always nice to see them unloading. Great shots of the trucks!
Thanks! I agree, but their variety was WAY better just a few years ago lol It was fun to watch them unload, my first time actually!
great video! Someday, you gotta visit the davis street transfer station. not sure if they are open for tours, but i know schools can get tours
Nice
This is amazing! I think this is just an awesome video!
Thanks bro! Appreciate it!
Tippers: 0
Full Ejectors: 6
Roll Offs: 7
the los angeles trash trucks from harbor come transfer here too
***** Thanks! Yeah LA Hauling and Compton have a pretty good variety, but it was a lot better just a few years ago. Gotta love the CNG haha jk WhiteGMC Roll Off was my favorite!
How many roll off trucks are at the transfer station
Damn good work bro, happy to see some transfer station footage! They sure do have some badass rigs, I was so stoked to see that WXLL roll-off :D Sounded epic to. Great work man, one of your best videos yet!
Thanks bro!! Yeah there were some awesome trucks here! That WXLL reminded me of ABQ's lol when I saw it outside the transfer leaving, I was like, "Oh man I hope it comes back!" And then it pulled in 15 minutes later haha Thanks again bro, really appreciate it!
Hey guys I like garbage trucks make one of WCA please : )
Way nicer trucks! We got junk up here in mass. I drive an 09 , they won't even let me wash it.....
Thanks! Haha down here in Cali we've been getting new trucks every year. There's a fleet, GI Industries (my most recent video), that washes their FLs daily and their other trucks at least once a week!
OMG I seen this truck collects on Carson that's what I saw
Cardboard mixed in their too?
4:42 were did 144 come from
for earth day burrtec will let you tour the MRF they have
Sweet! I really want to go, maybe I'll see you there?
I have been wanting too tour that place forever ive seen how it works cause they have a public recycle area in back and you can see them sorting
WMmaster626 did they get all the workers there? and how did they get all the trucks?
+Evan Takemoto Yes, all the workers are WM employees and trucks are bought from different manufacturers
So there is zero separation/recovery, it all just goes to the landfill?
At the time of this video, whatever went here was the waste already picked up from the trash and greens containers. Recycling went to a different facility
do you have time for more questions? i might need some...but if you dont have time i guess i can look for more video but if oyu have time i guess i can stay
+Evan Takemoto Yeah I have the time
Seems like a pain to dump there.
Nope, this place works well for the drivers. Close to all the routes and traffic moves fast in and out.
***** i mean its one door in, one out,then you got to watch out for other drivers.we have 11 doors to back into,and that seems like a safer way to do it.
I got a vid about it.
I94SOUTH Yeah that is a good point. It's an old facility, so they probably didn't consider safety when they were building it lol I'll check out some of your videos as well.
WMmaster626 how did they get to know where the trash place is all teh time and can i commet other youtubers like batmen and robins minecraft youtube channels?
+Evan Takemoto The trucks have GPS so they know how to get to the transfer station. Not sure what your second question is
what was he saying about waste to energy? nice video!
If I remember correctly (this was over a year ago lol) he was talking about the El Sobrante Landfill and their waste to energy plant. Thank you!!
Your Welcome, thanks!
oh its okay i can try myself
are you on
Do mor of these type of vd

WMmaster626 how does the trash get recycled
+Evan Takemoto Check out this video: czcams.com/video/CAdLf-Wwk64/video.html
It has some good information on how the recycling process works
Great vid man! Lots of roaring trucks in here! Why were some drivers honking their horns?
By the way, check out my new vid I just uploaded! You're going to love it!
OK! WMmaster626 i love your you tube channel! i think its awesome ! i need help to play mine craft i have it but i want to play with a you tuber for my channel .. do you think you could help me?
+Evan Takemoto Thank you Evan, really glad you enjoy. There are a few users on here that play, ask Waste Man 226 or WM Trucks in Diamond Bar, I think they both play
Carson station て言うから、私が住んでいたトーランスの最寄り駅かと思ったら、ゴミのステーションだがや！！
Cardboard mixed in their too?
Yeah it was a trash compactor but the place that used it put cardboard in there too instead of getting a recycling compactor.
So this is just a transfer station not a MRF where they sort out everything basically
Trashman590 Just a transfer station here. They might have someone go through it but idk for sure
