	The system of presenting the waste by the householder can range from boxes to reusable bags which the collection personnel lift up to the side of the lorry and then sort by hand into the relevant part/compartment of the lorry body. The evolution of these systems over the last 10 years has seen development of the trucks to include compaction for compressible waste to optimise the volume of the lorry and reduce the need to return to the [[MRF]] or [[Transfer Station]] too frequently. The quality of the [[recyclables]] collected and extremely low levels of contamination is one of the main attributes that advocates of this system promote over the alternatives.

	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.
