Chula Vista’s New Solid Waste Department - Chula Vista Garbage Strike of 2021/2022

Day 29: Saturday January 15th 2022.
I first off want to thank the hard working City of Chula Vista employees and the Republic Services crew featured in the video. During the strike, Republic was placing emphasis on business accounts versus multi family dwellings and this video shows the results.
Despite Chula Vista not having their own carts, bins, extra equipment, extra manpower, or even solid waste management department for that matter, they somehow managed to assume responsibility for collecting MFDs and made sure this amount of trash didn't pile up to these levels again. And from the looks of it, they’re doing/did a great job. On Saturday, they performed a morning blitz on two streets in the center of the city before moving on to the next location. After the rear loader gets full, they start filling up the dump trucks with the CAT to take to Oaty Landfill. Feel free to skip around, wanted to keep it raw to show just how much trash accumulated over the lapse in service.

What a phenomenal video!! I’ll admit I sat and watched every minute of it, and man was it entertaining. I’m a rear load junkie, so those shots of the truck backing right up to the piles and just chewing away at them was awesome. Great coordination from everybody on site to make this happen, and efficiently and pretty quickly too. Really unfortunate for residents and customers with the whole strike thing, but you’ve got some A+ content out of it, and I’m loving every minute! Great job!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I had a great time filming the strike videos, everyone I came across was so kind and professional and was there to just get the job done, no matter what it took. They're still playing catch up and probably will be well into February but at least the strike is over! Thanks again!!

First of all, WOW!! I didn’t think anyone would be able to film that RL but yet here we are! It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to see CV picking up their own trash. Was the Blue Crew drivers working? I heard Andrew from CV was driving the RL. I noticed that they picked up some bulky items too! Republic wouldn’t usually touch anything outside the container. I just loved that shot you got of the FL and RL together! Great job again!

@zp12684 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Josh! Blue Crew was working but only on commercial this day. The driver of the rear and front load were both from the CV yard, didn't catch their names though. Can't blame the rear load driver for crossing the picket line to support him and his family especially during week 4 of no pay. The front load driver was too new to join the union yet.

It seems like it was more efficient to just back the truck to the trash and throw it right in. Instead of the loader. But further on in the video they seem to only load a part of the loader to not miss the truck opening. Guys worked their asses of. Respect!!

Been waiting for someone to post a video of this operation! Looks to be neat, but that bucket definitely is too big. This is CV's ocu version. Do you know if this is still going one? The city's line is still up so I assume it is unless republic has catched up by now, goes to show what happens when you strike a big city (if cv is big).

@zp12684 2 жыл бұрын

Agreed, the bucket is too big for this but probably just right for when it gets used in the Streets Division. Wish he would have used the bottom open feature but it was still pretty cool seeing it being used on trash. As far as I know, the city was suppose to end this route yesterday.

Can only guess they had city bosses who know the gear they got and need to get the job done right first time suggest to have a crew and scooper then have a trash truck close by to unload and clean around areas anytime. and to by chance have cars parked in the way was a pain i guessing to get the scooper close enough to fill and unload any stop. seen no updates but hope the city made the corp foot bill for what it caused any.

I've been watching this series of footage you've posted and I'm thinking to myself of what is the worst kind of strike a city can have? When you're garbage company workers decide to whine and let things get to bubonic plague levels of mass garbage piles. I never thought I would see this in the modern era where a state has gotten so bad that it allows the trash to pile up to disease levels because a Union is controlling the workers to strike at the littlest of setbacks. At this point, I think California is going to turn into a trash ridden shithole because over in LA county near the ports, the railroad looks like a landfill from it being mass robbed by criminals and homeless who leave huge piles of trash just like that. I pray for those of you in California to get your act together and take your state back because the rest of the country is hurting from what you escape to only put in our laps.

This strike in Chula Vista was almost and close to the 2006 Taormina Industries strike in Anaheim. It effected not only Anaheim but the neighboring cities they were contracted to like Garden Grove, Yorba Linda, Brea, etcetera. Fullerton was the most effected at the time, since the city still had manual collection service prior to the switch to automated in 2009. It got to the level of where almost all the garbage piled up covered the dumpster and filled the spot they're placed in. I strictly remember as a child watching my family members load up my dad's old pick up truck with garbage that overflowed next to our apartment. He had to remove it since I was only a 4 year old, and it was a health risk for me due to my age at the time. I'm happy that those residents living there had their accumulated waste taken care of.

@HyperActive7 2 жыл бұрын

@@NorthOCRefuse2016 I wouldn't let my trash even get to that point because one, it wouldn't be healthy for anyone regardless of age, two, the smell, three, rats. That and I live in a nice area and want to keep it that way. If you noticed in the neighborhoods versus the cities, they didn't let the trash get that out of hand and I'm sure they did weekly runs to the dump because nobody wants to be THAT GUY the entire neighborhood complains about. This footage is invaluable to the point where it gives us a stark warning about what happens when you Unionize a state and the Union has mass control over your workforce in city services.
