Automated Split Body Side Loader Truck

West Valley Collection & Recycling collects your garbage and green waste carts with our new state-of-the-art automated split body side loader trucks. The driver operates the trucks mechanical “arm” which lifts heavy carts. Then s/he flips a toggle switch to control a flap, which funnels the material into the appropriate compartment of the truck.

The split body holds 31 cubic yards and 9 tons total with the compartments being split in a 60/40 capacity. The green waste occupies the 60% compartment and garbage occupies the 40% compartment.

This automated split-body technology is appropriate for weekly collection as it enables collection of two separate materials in a single pass. The number of collection vehicles on the road is reduced, thereby, decreasing wear and tear on city streets, creating less noise and fewer air emissions.
