3.4 LOADING, COMPACTING AND
UNLOADING
3.4.1 PLANNING YOUR ROUTE
With a side loading refuse unit it is important
to plan your pick ups properly. You have to
know your route and what type of refuse and/
or recyclable you will have to pick up. It is
even more important when you are working
with a commingle type side loading garbage
truck because some of the refuse has to be
thrown close to you, and some of it in the
farthest part of the hopper. A pre-planning of
your routes reduces the amount of walking by
the operator, which will drastically increase
your one man operation efficiency. It will also
reduce the danger of having the operator to
walk to the opposite side of the vehicle and
maybe even across the street.
