Abstract

A method of receiving and transporting solid waste includes providing a strong, disposable waste container and a disposable pallet for supporting the container when the latter is loaded with waste. After loading, both the pallet and the container can be lifted onto a rear transporting section of a truck. In one version, the pallet and container are placed on a rear end section of the truck and moved to a forward position by a conveyor system. A forklift unit can be used to lift and move the container and pallet. In another version, the truck has movable sidewall members that can be moved from an upright position to a second position that allows the pallet and container to be loaded from a longitudinal side of the truck. For this method, the truck is equipped with a tiltable rear transporting section to allow the container and pallet to be dumped at the disposal site. In one version, this truck is tilted towards one longitudinal side in order to dump.
