A random snapshot of a new Waste Management garbage truck that picks up garbage cans with a robotic arm that extends from the right-side of the truck seen on its route in Brookhaven, Mississippi on Tuesday, December 17, 2024 at 12:30 PM CST.
Waste Management is the new contractor company that had replaced Arrow Disposal Services, Incorporated (ADSI) on September 30, 2024. These trucks are operated by one-man crews which is only the driver and he only has to line up the robotic arm or ''claw'' as I call it to the cans and push a button.
The previous company had used rear-loader trucks and three-man crews, the driver and two ''hoppers'' riding on the backside of the truck. The major problem with these newer trucks is they would have to make multiple passes on the same streets and do one can at a time which makes them slower and sometimes, they do not always empty the cans all the way. Back when we still had Arrow Disposal Services, the extra two riders who emptied the cans would also pick up any bit of garbage that happens to fall out like cardboard boxes like pizza boxes, these trucks just empty the cans and head off to the next one on its route. Besides than that, these trucks are cool looking.
The bag is the wrong color! Thus, the garbage removal people have tagged it as "bad". It will just sit there for ever, I guess.
What most people think about when they think of the Jerz. Actually the drive between Philly and AC was some pretty farm country.

Garbage is a problem. No matter where we went, we found lots of plastic waste. Something needs to be done.
