everything (except the lighting) is perfect about this photo. WMX carts on a new wmx truck in oakland.
Side note it has been almost a decade since these were last sitting at the yard.

after doing some digging, i was able to find out a bit more about this onepass program: (I love how alameda county is spotlighted)
"Residents of Alameda County, California and Hobe Sound, Florida are enjoying the benefits of a breakthrough in truck design that cuts the number of collection trucks on the road by up to half.
During the 1980's and 1990's curbside recycling programs proliferated and extended to a range of materials such as bottles, cans, newspapers and yard waste. While these programs increased the amount of materials recycled, they often had an unwanted side effect of requiring two or more "passes" by waste collection trucks to collect the variety of materials. For several years, WMI has worked closely with its suppliers to develop a truck design that could pick up trash and recyclables in one pass. The new vehicles were rolled out in 1995 and by year end, a total of 106 trucks were in use at more than a dozen WMI divisions. The design features a divided front-end load bin that keeps waste segregated and delivers it to two or three compartments in the truck body. Compared to a typical design, the truck has a larger capacity and a smaller, more energy-efficient engine, both features that help improve operating efficiency.
In the California and Florida communities where yard wastes were separately collected, use of the One Pass Collection Service has eliminated a third of all pick-ups, while in other communities it is expected to cut them by half. Cutting the number of passes reduces the number of trucks on the road, cuts emissions and fuel use, reduces the chances of accidents, and makes recycling more convenient."
This would be an explanation as to why wmac had so many kanns. I assume that contra costa also got them around the same time. The ones that were in wisconsin and other areas other than here and florida are most likely newer, NON wmx ones.

Several are found here in Wildomar. Prior to CR&R, Waste Management collected here using cart tippers, most likely with carry cans. These carts have all been collected one time by an ASL (Amrep) likely in the transition phase from WM to CR&R, but other than that and some very light tipper wear, these are in excellent condition. A replacement lid and they're like new. All the ones I saw had broken lids, and were only collected one time. Shows how violent the trucks were years ago (same trucks are far less violent now) and really speaks well for the durability of the Rotos on this route which are well over 10 years old since the cascades apparently couldn't hold up to 1, maybe 2 whole collections.

The "WMX" behind GP40 3528 rolls under the Cherokee Rd overpass just north of Oroville, CA on 5/28/72. The westbound is actually rolling eastward at this point as it negotiates trackage that was part of the line change in the 60's with the Oro Dam and reservoir construction.
San Dimas, CA
The cool thing about the City of San Dimas is that there are still tons of WMX carts still around the city for yardwaste.
