Chris Hogg expressed precisely :
In which case I assume your bins must be put out close to exactly the
right places for the 'grab' to be manoeuvered to pick it up.

They don't maneuver the grab. The truck drives along the street and
stops at each four houses, the guys grab a couple of bins from each
side, drag them to the rear, where they are picked up tipped into the
back and dropped back down. Where upon the guys drag them back to the
kirb. Any heavy repetitive lifting these days, is frowned upon.

Well, yes, that's what would happen here if the bin had a lot of stuff
in it, whether in bags or loose, but just for one or two bags it's
quicker just to pick them out by hand. FMurtz did say that his lot
didn't touch the bins as it was all mechanical. I assumed he meant
that that included dragging the bin from where the householder left it
to the back of the lorry and locating it on the lifting mechanism.


They do not position the bins at the back
All the bins are in a similar place along the road and the lorry is
sufficiently clever to allow for variations.
This system is used in the suburbs with single dwellings.
A different more labour intensive system is used in built up high
density areas with units and flats.
Beat this for speed with your herd of garbos.

One advantage is that the grab arm puts the bins neatly back in
the place it was left, rather than scattering them
all over the
place like the bin men do

Until the wind blows....
