Transportation vehicles can be categorized as collection vehicles and haulage vehicles. Collection vehicles collect the waste in areas where it is generated, and, if the processing and disposal facilities are at a long distance away, these vehicles then transfer their contents to haulage vehicles at designated transfer stations for transport to the disposal facility. In developed countries, there exist standardized designs for these vehicles, consistent with normal waste characteristics and working conditions. In developing countries, waste from community bins is transported by various types of vehicles, ranging from general purpose vehicles (trucks) to highly mechanized compactors (UNEP, 2002). It has been observed that the efficiency of general purpose vehicles is low for waste transportation, mainly because the waste is a low density material. On the other hand, there are difficulties associated with copying the designs of highly mechanized vehicles used in the developed-world due to differences in local waste characteristics and operating conditions. However, in many countries, appropriate designs are now being developed through innovative approaches, extensive testing, and trial and error.
