A [[Kerbside Collection Lorry]] is a type of lorry primarily used to collect [[recyclables]] from householders. The lorry has a series of compartments in the body of the vehicle that allow materials to be sorted manually by the collection personnel and placed into these segregated compartments (often termed [[Source-Separated Collections]]). Each compartments is emptied separately at a [[MRF]] or [[Transfer Station]] via forklift, and in some cases the systems have some hydraulic compartments (i.e. for [[cardboard]]) where the compacting hydraulic ram can be used to empty that particular compartment.
