Garbage truck or dustcart refers to a truck specially designed to collect municipal solid waste and haul the collected waste to a solid waste treatment facility such as a landfill . Other common names for this type of truck include trash truck in the United States, and rubbish truck , bin wagon , dustbin lorry , bin lorry or bin van elsewhere. Technical names include waste collection vehicle and refuse collection vehicle . These trucks are a common sight in most urban areas.
Wagons and other means had been used for centuries to haul away solid waste. Among the first self-propelled garbage trucks were those ordered by Chiswick District Council from the Thornycroft Steam Wagon and Carriage Company in 1897 described as a steam motor tip-car, a new design of body specific for the collection of dust and house refuse .
The 1920s saw the first open-topped trucks being used, but due to foul odors and waste falling from the back, covered vehicles soon became more common. These covered trucks were first introduced in more densely populated Europe and then in North America , but were soon used worldwide.
