Abstract
Abstract Solid wastes are collected from house to house pickups with a truck in which a standardized container forms an integral part of the truck body. Garbage is placed directly into the container where it is compacted by a conventional garbage truck injector. When the container is filled, it is sealed and the entire container removed from the pickup truck and transferred to a long distance transportation means. After transport to remote areas, the garbage-filled containers are emptied and returned for reuse. Alternatively, conventional garbage trucks may eject their loads into standardized containers for long distance transportation.
