The system of presenting the waste by the householder can range from boxes to reusable bags which the collection personnel lift up to the side of the lorry and then sort by hand into the relevant part/compartment of the lorry body. The evolution of these systems over the last 10 years has seen development of the trucks to include compaction for compressible waste to optimise the volume of the lorry and reduce the need to return to the [[MRF]] or [[Transfer Station]] too frequently. The quality of the [[recyclables]] collected and extremely low levels of contamination is one of the main attributes that advocates of this system promote over the alternatives.
