In a [[Kerbside Collection Lorry]] the approach relies on the sorting of materials into separate sections of the lorry to ensure removal of any contamination in the material collected. In communal/multi-occupancy locations some of the systems set out below are used due to the large volumes concentrated and aggregated in one place i.e. at a block of flats. | ||

There are three primary systems for the collection of compressible waste from businesses via either [[Wheelie Bin]], an [[FEL Skip]] or [[REL Skip]]. The choice can be determined by the volumes produced and in the case of the latter two options may be a function of the types of system preferred/used by a waste collection company in a geographical area. In all cases separate bins/skips are used for separate materials (i.e. [[residual waste]], [[cardboard]], [[DMR]]) which are in turn collected by separate lorries. In some cases, where the volumes are significant, businesses choose to have a [[Static Compactor]] on site for compressible waste and then use the lorry system below for heavy waste to move it | There are three primary systems for the collection of compressible [[Waste|waste]] (such as [[Cardboard]] and/or [[Residual Waste]]) from businesses via either [[Wheelie Bin]], an [[FEL Skip]] or [[REL Skip]].
