Waste Management of the Desert -Mack Autoreach
Palmdale, CA
6/12/17
This Mack Autoreach is an ex Waste Management of the Desert (Palm Desert) truck that currently resides in Palmdale, 135 miles from Palm Desert. In 2006 Waste Management of the Desert sold all their assets and contracts to Burrtec. Before Burrtec took over, this Mack Autoreach was relocated to Corona along with 4 other Autoreach ASL's. In 2011 after recieving several Recycle Long Beach Mack Wittke Curotto Cans, Corona sent 4 ex WM of the Desert Autoreaches to Palmdale and 1 to G.I.
WMmaster626 and I decided to make a trip to Palmdale (and a pitstop at Blue Barrel Disposal) once we found out Palmdale recently received new LNG Peterbilt Amreps. There were several different trucks we wanted to find, but our first priority was a ex WM of the Desert Autoreach before they are gone. The driver Janel was very nice and certainly knows how to drive this Autoreach like a pro and was incredibly fast especially for a 15 year old truck that has worked in tough conditions. Janel picks up 2,000 carts on Wednesdays and she told us she would be working late every Wednesday if she did not rev the Autoreach. WMmaster626 and I were lucky to not only catch this truck before it went into a gated community but we also found a Mackrep (Mack Amrep) working on the same block in a couple clips. This is also what we believe is 1 of 5 ex WM of the Desert trucks still around that Waste Management still owns. Unfortunately one of the WM of the Desert trucks I filmed last year 263265, was recently retired by Baldwin Park (www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBIlVGUgIJM). Baldwin Park still has 1 Mack Wittke from Palm Desert that is a spare commercial truck. If you want to find a Waste Management of the Desert truck I recommend looking soon. Many WM yards had ex Waste Management of the Desert trucks until recently. El Cajon, Moreno Valley, Corona and G.I. all had at least one Waste Management of the Desert truck at one point, but no longer do to our knowledge.
Big thank you to WMmaster626 for all the information about these ex WM of the Desert Autoreaches. Also, thank you to the Autoreach driver Janel who certainly did not disappoint and the Mackrep driver.
