It was now possible for Recycling Alternative to design a truck body, Recycling Alternative’s ® Zero Waste truck ™, to collect the three streams of recycling, compost, residuals in one stop. The truck is also equipped with a wash system, weigh scales for reporting, as well as route display and billing programming. An automated system using the driver’s remote control designates which container is to be top loaded and the lifter carriage moves to the designated container. A unique concertina system allows the totes to be loaded from ground or off dock level. There are no more long drives out of town because Recycling Alternative can offload and consolidate three streams into three separate roll off containers or compactors. The Zero Waste Truck body can also be configured to be set up on a hook or wire system. One person can now operate a multilateral stream of collection.
