RE: Rubbish, Bins, Trash, and Does increasing population density actually make sense in the eyes of local town planning?
Not to mention all the additional wear and tear on the roads themselves by having large, heavy vehicles (often heavier than the prescribed road mass) - driving over small suburban streets meaning that they need to be repaved sooner than they would otherwise!
With smaller vehicles, and more nimble collection teams, the saving over a longer term is greater.
Well, the size of the truck is not such a issue around here. Streets are build quiet solid, especially in urban areas. And if the truck is small, it would mean wasting a lot of time going back and forth to the incineration plant or land fill. Especially with 3 guys on the truck, that is rather unproductive.
