Abstract: A residential side loading garbage or recycling truck is provided which is equipped with an easily removable roll off disposal container which can be easily replaced to reduce man hours and travel time spent in the collection of trash or recyclables and to reduce the carbon footprint per truck because of the reduction in fuel used. The foregoing features are provided by equipping the truck with a compacting unit that remains with the truck at all times and a number of disposal containers located at predetermined locations so that once one disposal container is filled, the truck is driven to one of those locations and filled disposal container is replaced with an empty disposal container so that the truck may return to its route without the need to travel to a garbage or recycling center.
