Fast, Lid Flipping and Revving Wayne Curbtender
City of Cedar City Sanitation
Cedar City, UT
7/1/16
Let me start off by saying, if the city of L.A. or WM Moreno Valley ever had a Wayne Curbtender, this is how it would operate.
I have been to Cedar City before and I was curious what refuse trucks Cedar City used for residential collection. I had driven by the local landfill (Iron County Landfill) previously and I saw a Curbtender parked there so I assumed it belonged to Cedar City and I was Curious what else Cedar City ran. So before I went to Cedar City to film, I asked WMmaster626 to please help find some Google Street View images of the trucks. At first, we struggled to find any trucks but we noticed in the images that several lids were flipped and a few carts were even tipped over. Eventually WMmaster626 found a Curbtender on Street View with several lid flips on the block. So I decided I would hunt for the Curbtender when I went to Cedar City.
While WMmaster626 (and Alex Clemmans) were filming G.I., I was in Cedar City filming the American LaFrance Wayne Curbtender. I started out by looking for the Curbtender in the older part of town that is full of Reuters but the Curbtender ended up being in the newer area that morning. The driver was really nice (like every Utah driver I have encountered) and he informed me Cedar City has a total of 2 American LaFrance and 1 Peterbilt Curbtender. The Peterbilt driver was out of town so the 2 American LaFrance drivers had to cover his route too, which probably added speed to the 2 drivers.
The Curbtender was a blast to film and it had the operating style that WMmaster626 and I had expected from the Street view pictures. Although there was little black smoke, the truck sounded great especially when it would take off from house to house. At the end you will see a puzzling block in Cedar City consisting of about 6 houses that either have a blue Red Rock Waste (Allied Wastes equivalent of Pacific Waste in Utah) Toter or BFI Roto all next to their garage. There is no Allied Waste/Republic in Cedar City and the closest yard is a full hour away in St. George.
Thank you to the nice driver, who’s name I did not get because I did not want to talk to him for too long since he had a much larger route to cover with the Peterbilt driver out that day. Also, a big thanks to WMmaster626 for helping me find pictures on Street View.
