City of Phoenix in the 1990s 

Great to see all this unearthed. Such a shame to hear about the other lost material. The 7000 sounds amazing. Whoever taped this must have had a broad interest in infrastructure and municipal equipment, since he didn’t limit himself to the trash truck. Looking back at this era of recycling makes you wonder what it would be like if we never adopted single stream across cities like Phoenix. Reminds me of how San Diego is just now getting citywide organics, and all the growing pains that come with a rollout like that. You can clearly see the contamination that was rampant then and just as bad now. The steam roller and street sweepers are a bit more foreign to me, but it would be interesting to hear someone familiar with those comment on how it’s different from modern versions of that equipment. The vacuum at the end was quite impressive, there’s probably reason why we don’t see them around today. Very cool stuff man

Amazing, super cool to see the equipment of the past. Truly a different time. Major respect to you guys for saving this.

This is an Ancient peace of video here, and they have cool trucks

Wow! this is truly something amazing & special to see! Wish this guy was still around so we could see more but this is still pretty nice!

WOW! Just wow, these trucks that phoenix used to have are so cool! great video and super glad you were able to save one of these uploads!

Really cool footage, glad seeing those 7000s pick up those Heils! Looks like recycling contamination in the 1990s was not bad compared to now. Too bad those trucks are gone now.

This is super amazing to see these old heil trucks they had. In the 1990s did they have any other trucks besides formula 7000s and curve shell 7000s?

Super cool to see Phoenix over 20 years ago. What a badass collection of trucks they had. Great job unearthing all this! ( are you going to the Flagstaff Road-eo?)

The sounds of those Heils brings back so many memories

Excellent video bro.
