Piece together this garbage-gobbling machine
1 Attaching
The bin is loaded onto the tipping mechanism by the rubbish collector. This will hold the bin in place as it is lifted and tilted upside down to be emptied.

Picking up
When the bin is raised, its lid latches onto the steel frame at the top. As the tipping mechanism continues to move and tip the bin upside down, the lid is held open.
3 Containing
As the bin is lowered to the ground to be returned to the street, a compaction plate comes down to block the back of the truck. This contains all rubbish – and the stench!
