Athens Services
Avocado Heights, CA
Athens Services won the contract for the Avocado Heights franchise in January and began servicing the area on April 1st. Similar to WM in Santa Monica Mountains, they didn't have enough time to get new carts for the area in time for the start. Most residents still have their old WARE carts and we saw many around the neighborhood. I missed a picture of it but there was a cool turquoise WARE Rehrig in one area. Couple old carts that caught my eye were some old WMX carts from back in the open market days and some WARE carts that were spray painted into new colors (black -> green).
Anyway, looks like Athens rolled out new carts within the past week. Residents received new Rehrig EVs with different colored lids, something new to Athens. What's cool about these is that the logo is reflective, hence why they look rainbow colored in the picture. That's a county mandate for the contract, as people were crashing into carts in the early morning.
Not sure what truck collects the area but I think recycle is a fast driver based on the lid flips. Today was also the CCU for the area. Only saw a Heil RL and an LNG 320/Amrep. Not sure what else might've been used but they also had a clean up in Monterey Park so I'm curious if any other old stuff was used.
