Burrtec ~ Manual Garbage Collection in the Mojave Desert

Way out in the high desert just north of Arrowhead and Big Bear is a small community called Lucerne Valley. It is one of the very last places known in Southern California to have their trash service entirely done manually. In fact, I can probably count on one hand the places that still exist in SoCal that still have all streams/mixed waste done manually. Being that automation has swept across the country in the past few decades, this method of collection is like a throwback to what it used to be long ago. Along with a classic truck such as this early ‘90s WhiteGMC Maxon Legal One, it was truly a rare filming experience. Huge thanks to the very friendly driver for letting me document this operation.
