sanitation trucks

Municipal waste vehicles

Sanitation trucks are vehicles designed to collect and transport garbage, recyclables, or other waste.

The term emphasizes the public health function—sanitation—rather than the material handled.

Sanitation trucks wake me up every Tuesday at six.

Also called garbage trucks or refuse trucks.
