Let me introduce you to the $100,000 dollar crew in the fifth installment of our New York City Tour! Driver Noel and helper Tony were featured earlier this year in a CNN Money article (link below) spotlighting how much someone could make in the sanitation industry and they were gracious enough to let me tag along for the night. Crown Container is owned by brothers Jerry and David Antonacci whose family has been in business since 1959. Located in Queen's, their 17 trucks service more than 5000 customers throughout the five boroughs. Crown Container also operates a transfer station which receives recycling and C&D. Noel and Tony have a dedicated route in Flushing, NY and pull 40 tons nightly on their wet route which mostly consist of heavy restaurant's who sometimes require two collections a night. They drive Crown's newest addition to the fleet, a 2016 Mack Granite Loadmaster Excel rear loader complete with New York City compliant side guards. My thanks to Noel and Tony for letting me come along and see how trash is really done in New York, you guys are true professionals and a blast to hang out with!
