A garbage truck is a truck specially designed to collect municipal solid waste and transport it to a solid waste treatment facility, such as a landfill, recycling center or transfer station. In Australia they are commonly called rubbish trucks , or garbage trucks, while in the U.K. dustbin lorry , rubbish lorry or bin lorry is commonly used.

A skip (British English, Australian English, Hiberno-English and New Zealand English) (or skip bin) is a large open-topped waste container designed for loading onto a special type of lorry called a skip truck.
A side-load bin tipper was fitted to a garbage truck as early as 1929, by the Heil company in America. [6] In the 1950s the Dempster Dumpmaster popularized the front-end loader variant, with bins being tipped over the cab of the truck. [7] Both types of integrated bin tipper are now common on municipal refuse collection trucks.
These trucks have large prongs on the front which are aligned and inserted into arms or slots on the dumpster. Hydraulics lift the prongs and the dumpster, eventually flipping the dumpster upside-down and emptying its contents into the garbage truck's hopper (storage compartment). Other dumpsters are smaller and are emptied by rear-loading trucks.
I challenge the use of "Dumpster" or "Junk Truck" to refer to a garbage truck in any English-speaking country. A "Dumpster" is a brand name for a type of bin lifted onto a garbage truck, not the truck itself. If no source for this is provided I propose we edit out these terms.Sedimentary 22:37, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
