The Garbage Trucks Involved in Trash Hauling
Here at LeBoeuf Rubbish Removal, we’ve got a fleet of garbage trucks to meet the needs of our residential and commercial customers, from the smallest household to the largest commercial enterprise and construction project. From residential garbage and recycling to specialty projects that need dumpsters or bulk pickup, rest assured that we’ve got the right vehicle to help. Check out the gallery below to see all our waste management vehicles in action!
Curbside Pickup: Side Loader Recycling & Garbage Trucks
If you’ve seen a LeBoeuf garbage truck roll through your neighborhood, chances are it’s one of these doing its rounds at single-family homes to pick up garbage or recycle.
![The automated arm allows the driver to stay inside the truck, which is a great feature to keep a route as efficient as possible. This is the most common truck we utilize at LeBoeuf Rubbish Removal! The hoppers on our truck range from 28-37 tons.]](https://leboeufrubbishremoval.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Side-Loader-Truck-1024x768.jpg)
These are most obvious at work when the mechanical arm grabs trash carts from the curb, lifts them up, tilts them to empty the contents into the truck’s hopper, and then sets them back down. It’s important to place your garbage and recycling bins properly to avoid issues with servicing.
Complex Services: Front Loader Recycling & Garbage Trucks
For bigger jobs, a front-loading dumpster might be used instead of one or more garbage or recycling bins. This is the most common for commercial enterprises or apartment and condo complexes.
![These trucks use a hydraulically powered lifter with arms or forks to pick up the dumpster and dump the contents directly into the hopper on the top of the truck. Our front-loader trucks have a capacity of 40 tons!]](https://leboeufrubbishremoval.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Front-Loading-Truck-1024x682.jpg)
These trucks need room in front and above the dumpster to properly service them. To learn more about these services, read our blogs on commercial waste management and apartment & condo complex waste management.
Multi-Purpose Haulers: Rear Loader Recycling & Garbage Trucks
When you think of garbage trucks, these might be the first types to come to mind. While generally older models, these trucks have the advantage of not being specialized, meaning they can be used for residential pickup and rear-loading commercial dumpsters.
![Rear load trucks in the waste management industry feature a rear opening where hydraulic systems manually load or lift waste.](https://leboeufrubbishremoval.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Rear-Loading-1024x682.jpg)
These systems require multiple operators for the smooth servicing of carts, so many of our routes use side-loading trucks when available.
Dumpster Services: Roll-off Trucks for Open-Top Dumpsters & Compactors
For even bigger services, such as construction projects, residential or commercial clear-outs, or home remodeling, one of our roll-off trucks can drop off and pick up one of our variously sized open-top dumpsters, as well as deliver compactor units.
![Using hydraulics, the truck’s hook mechanism lifts one end of the dumpster and rolls it off the back, carefully placing it on the ground or picking it up. This is the smaller of two types, usually referred to as a “hook truck.”](https://leboeufrubbishremoval.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Dumpster-Truck.jpg)
![While smaller hook trucks handle 10and 15-cubic-yard containers, larger open-topped dumpsters and other units, like this compactor-with-container, require the use of longer-body roll-off trucks with a more robust frame and powerful hydraulic systems.]](https://leboeufrubbishremoval.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Compactor-Roll-Off-1024x682.jpg)
We offer dumpster rentals at 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 cubic yard open-top roll-off containers. Want to know which is right for your project? Check out our sizing guide here. If you’re thinking about getting a compactor for your business or complex, learn more about them here.
Bulk-Item Pickup & Cart Dropoff: Rack Body Trucks
Not all projects are dealing directly with garbage. For those, our smaller rack body trucks can make short work of it, whether it’s dropping off new garbage and recycling bins for use or part of our bulk-item pickup services.
![Carts being unloaded by Ethan, Eric, and Caleb LeBoeuf! Learn more about how LeBoeuf is family-owned and operated here. The use of a hydraulic tailgate allows the lifting of larger bulk items with ease.](https://leboeufrubbishremoval.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Rack-Body-Truck-1024x682.jpg)
