Abstract

A relatively few years ago, a new technology for residential refuse collection was introduced in urban America. This was the automated collection of residential refuse using standardized roll-out containers, or carts and it occurred in 1969-1970 in Scottsdale, Arizona. In the years since, just over 300 communities in the United States--and I understand some in Canada as well--have implemented automated or semi-automated, cart-based residential refuse collection systems.
