#1 The capacity of a garbage truck varies depending on its type. For example, a typical front loader garbage truck can hold up to 40 cubic yards of refuse, which is equivalent to the size of 8 standard dumpsters. An average side loader can hold up to 28 cubic yards of garbage. Rear loaders can hold waste from up to 850 households, and some larger models can transport up to 18 tons of waste. Roll-off trucks can carry about 20,000 pounds, or 10 tons, of waste. These trucks are designed to compact the trash to maximize space, not to transport people. Therefore, the question of how many people can fit into a garbage truck is not applicable as they are not designed for human transport. |
