The garbage truck is a necessary adjunct of urban life at tech levels of 'industrial' or above. Fleets of these vehicles, operated by independent businesses or local governments, can be found operating in the streets and back alleys of most urban areas. The model shown below is a typical example, equipped with two heavy robot arms to allow immediate transfer of refuse from suitably equipped temporary accumulation receptacles. Since it is only intended to operate in civilized areas, long duration was not required. Two way communication allows for immediate dispatch of vehicles to sites with full accumulation receptacles.
