When you hear a giant truck rolling on the street, it could be a compactor lorry! Not all heroes wear capes! These special trucks are the superheroes that keeps our cities clean. But what is it that makes compactor lorry kick-ass?
It has a powerful machine that squashes waste to create more room on board the compactor lorries. Which is to say they can transport a lot of garbage without having to drive it back and forth to the dump. The machine crushes waste by pressing it together with hydraulics, similar to a gigantic trash squisher! This can help cities save time and money by managing waste more effectively.
There is a lot of waste coming out of cities every day, including trash from households and trash from businesses. Without compactor lorries, all this rubbish would accumulate fast, and our neighborhoods would smell and seem dirty. But because of the drivers of those trucks, which carry trash from homes and businesses, cities can keep their streets tidy. These are potentially extremely significant in enabling well-managed waste within cities.
Compactor lorries are also good for the envionment. By crushing the waste, these trucks can carry larger loads of garbage in one trip. That lowers the number of trips to the landfill, which also saves fuel and cuts pollution. Many compactor trash truck run on cleaner fuels such as compressed natural gas or electricity — and are subsequently cleaner for the planet.
Compactor lorries help to make our cities a nicer place to be. In addition, by cleaning the streets, they also prevent pollution and protect nature. They prevent trash from getting into our rivers, oceans and forests. So the next time that you see a compactor lorry, remember that a good things is being done for our community.
And let’s not forget the hardworking American men and women out there driving these trucks every day. They wake up early to gather our trash, rain or shine. They rumble their big trucks on narrow streets and through heavy traffic to make sure our garbage is taken away in a safe manner. Their work is essential to help keep our cities clean. So the next time you pass a garbage compactor truck driver why not give them a quick wave, or a thumbs up, as a small way to say drive safe.
