Ever since the late 90s, BFI, Allied Waste, and now Republic Services has held on tight to the Fresno State Athletics Division contract. Numerous RFPs have gone out within the 20+ years but no other hauler seems to want this unique contract. For all the football home games the Bulldogs play, Republic Services is there the morning after (usually 7AM on Sunday) working hard to empty all the trash. Presented here is the aftermath of all the home football games this season. There are over 400 carts that need to be emptied in under 3 hours, and it's not the easiest task, but Ray and Ralph knock it out in no time.

I would like to give a huge shout out and thank you to the drivers behind the wheel, Ray in the sideloads 2419 and 2420 and Ralph in 1244. Ray has been with Republic for 32+ years and has seen It all. He's been around for some major changes including the Allied Waste merger, the Republic merger, and was the first driver to test out automated recycle when Clovis rolled it out back in 2008. It was great learning and tagging along with him on route and I wish him luck in retirement this year. Until then, you can find him driving his organics route in Clovis continuing on the friendships with many of his customers. Ralph is also a great driver and has seen it all too, probably becasue he works literally 365 days a year. A huge thank you goes out to both of you guys!!!

Please enjoy the video! Feel free to skip around, I know it's a lot. Ralph appears in the last video, so if you want a few minutes of FL action, there it is. Comments, questions and likes are always appreciated!

Republic Services: If you see anything wrong in the video, please do not hold it against the drivers. These videos are simply meant to document the work that they do everyday and in no way intended to get anyone into any trouble.
