Garbage truck which is also called "dump truck" comes to visit our residential area twice a week. Sundays and Wednesdays are the days where two huge garbage trucks would make rounds in our neighborhood to pick up waste in the garbage bins of each houses. Another garbage truck is designed to pick up garbage from the shop houses where the waste is large in amount.
Some people would hide themselves away from the truck while others cover their noses with hands or close the door. However kids are one of the kind. They are awed by the garbage truck because the huge truck could "eat " up the trash in one gulp. It is amazing how to divider of the truck is able to shove in the trash one by one.
When you were a kid, do you watch the garbage truck movements?

Our garbage truck collects the garbage twice a week, it is all automatic, humans do not need to touch the garbage bins, there are no bad smells coming from the track, nor from the bins. We must close all our garbage in plastic bags that are sold by our municipality.

oh that is a good way to discard garbage. Here in Malaysia, we reuse plastic bags from shopping malls, although there are huge black plastic bags to be bought in stores. Not sold by them. The men had to push the garbage bins to the truck in order for the machine to lift up the bin and throw in the garbage. That is why the truck, men and our bins are very , extremely smelly and stench.

@peachpurple We must use only the bags sold by our municipality. Each municipality has a different color for the bags, you must throw your garbage in the bins of your place, because it's there that you pay the tax for the garbage collection.
