Frequently Asked Questions
Refuse collection is the process of collecting waste materials from households, businesses and public spaces. Waste collected includes food waste, garden waste, packaging, recyclable waste and bulky or electrical waste.
This waste is collected typically by local authorities or private waste management companies through the use of refuse collection vehicles.
Refuse vehicles are specialist waste collection vehicles designed to collect waste and transport to designated disposal sites.
RCVs typically operate by using hydraulic systems to lift bins and unload waste into a hopper. The waste is then transferred into the truck’s body, where it is compacted for efficient transport. When the hopper is full, a compacting blade compresses the waste, allowing the truck to carry larger volumes. At the end of the collection route, the truck’s hydraulics lift the hopper, reverse the compaction, and unload the waste at recycling plants or landfill sites. Despite variations in design, all RCVs are designed to efficiently and safely remove waste from homes and businesses.
The different types of refuse collection vehicles include:
- Front Loaders – These vehicles use powered forks to lift and empty waste containers from the front into the hopper.
- Rear Loaders – have a rear opening for operators to manually throw in waste or use an automated lifting mechanism.
- Side Loaders – Have openings on the side which can be loaded manually or by a joystick-controlled robotic arm, with a hydraulic system for compacting waste.
