Trucks used for collection from Strathcona County

To help reduce the number of trucks required to drive through the rural area of Strathcona County, only one truck is used for collection. This special truck uses a two-split stream separator. Recycling and organic/waste goes into the same area of the truck, however they are dumped into different slots (hoppers) where the materials are kept separate.
