 Bags You can include in this category any hand-loaded garbage, such as cardboard boxes, bundles of garden waste and generally anything, which will not easily fit into the bin. It is also common for loose bulky items to be placed along side of the bin so as to save space inside the bin. Normally this loose garbage is lightweight and easy to load by hand. Often collection rounds include a combination of bags and bins. This is common to areas, which are busy converting from bags to bins and to mixed rounds where vehicles are required to service areas with both bags and bins For this application, a Low-Level lifter is recommended. The main reason being that the lifter will not be in the way, whilst bags and other hand-loaded garbage are being thrown into the compactor hopper. (also see:High level versus Low level)  Bins The 240 litre two-wheeled bin is the most common bin and generally used for residential areas. These bins are often referred to as the “wheelie bins”. Whilst the 240 litre version is produced locally other sizes of this type bin are also available, namely the 120 litre and the 360 litres (not common in South Africa). Then there are various larger four-wheeled bins, these bins have a capacity of 500 to 1100 litres. While most of these larger bins are also made of plastic, there are some galvanised steel versions available. Due to their size these bins are normally only found in business areas and at apartment blocks. The various types of bins:  Should your collection round consist of only 240 litre bins, a split comb High Level lifter is recommended. This allows the bins to be emptied whilst the compactor is running and each side of the lifter to work independently. This type of lifter should easily be able to empty 1200 bins per 8 hour shift. If you are required to service both two wheeled and four wheeled bins a single or interlocking comb High Level lifter is recommended. These lifters are also often fitted with trunnion arm pick-ups for the larger bins. (also see:High level versus Low level) Skips Sometimes the lifter may be fitted in a detachable frame so that it may be removed and refitted. This allows you to easily empty skips and then return to emptying bins. Some Low level lifters are mounted in such a way that they do not interfere when skips are being emptied, others are easily removable.
RCV's are expected to be capable of collecting:
