rear loader

Tail-end garbage truck

A rear loader is a garbage truck that collects waste through an opening at the back, where workers throw bags and empty bins into a compacting mechanism.

The term distinguishes this design from side loaders and front loaders, which use different collection methods.

The rear loader rumbled down the alley at dawn.
