Garbage Trucks

Wagons and other means had been used for centuries to haul away solid waste. The 1920s saw the first open-topped trucks being used, but due to the bad smell and waste falling from the back, covered vehicles soon became more common.

Different types of garbage trucks
1.Front loaders generally service commercial and industrial businesses using large waste containers with lids known as Dumpsters in the US.[3] The truck is equipped with powered forks on the front which the driver carefully aligns with sleeves on the waste container using a joystick or a set of levers.

3.Side loaders are loaded from the side, either manually, or with the assistance of a joystick-controlled robotic arm with a claw, used to automatically lift and tip wheeled bins into the truck's hopper.
