1990-2005 The New Garbage Truck
After the world realized the dangers of hazardous waste, and the benefits of recycling there was only one thing left to consider; waste disposal technology. How do we collect this waste faster, cheaper, and more safe? The 90’s became the age of the refuse truck. During the 90’s many companies made huge breakthroughs with hydraulics, engine power and safety.
In 1991 the EPA set standards for landfill groundwater protection, monitoring and post closure care. These standards were very significant for future sites because they demanded standards that would save the future of landfill operations. Meanwhile more than 3000 household hazardous waste programs have been setup in all 50 states.
Around 1994 President Bill Clinton issued executive order 12873, which required federal agencies to buy and use recycled, and use environmentally safe products. He created the Office of Federal Environmental Executive to enforce the order.
In 1996 the nation reached their goal of 25% recycling rate, then turned around and set 35% as the new target.
During the 80’s and 90’s the EPA monitored all waste contents and recycling rates to measure what we waste most and what we can do about it.
In 2000, more than 5000 U.S. cities are using Pay-as-you-throw programs, which charge residents based on amounts of garbage they throw away.
From 1990 to 2000 technology of Garbage trucks changed dramatically. All different types of trucks have large powerful hydraulic arms and packers. They are able to pack and haul two or three times more garbage than the first models. Below are some of our industries newest and most current trucks. Each caption explains what the trucks operational purpose is and how it compares to others.
The Rear Load Truck was very popular throughout the 80’s because it could dump large rear load containers and accept hand-throw bags. This modern day model also dumps residential cans. It’s only disadvantage is its slow time, or two drivers need to operate this truck because someone needs to hook up and operate dumping from the back of the truck.
The EPA’s studies continue to help us understand our waste problems and how we can fix them. They continue to help us understand the dangers of substances, water contamination, medical waste, incinerators and much more.
