==Other Configurations==

The body of an [[RCV]] can be configured to collect multiple materials, something which has become more common since the early 2000's. This might include, for example, a split body to facilitate a [[Twin Stream Collection]] and/or an additional separate non-compacting section for [[food waste]] at the front of the lorry (often known as a 'pod') with its own lifting device on the side of the [[RCV]] ~~as shown in~~ the ~~pictures~~ below:

Three examples of the main configuration options are set out below.

===Split Body===

Example of Split Body [[RCV]] for [[Twin Stream Collection]] - the pictures and video footage below show a 70/30 split body, but other configurations are possible.

==='POD' Configuration===

Example of 'pod' on front of on RCV for [[Food Waste]] Collection - the pictures show this on a larger RVC lorry, but this can be configured on a smaller lorry dedicated to [Food Separate]] collection arrangements where there is no compaction in the body of the vehicle.

===Rotopress===

The Rotopress style of [[RCV]] is less widely adopted in the UK, but can be used for the same range of activities as the [[RCV]] configurations described above. IT is often seen to have specific benefits in collecting [[green waste]] (potentially mixed with [[food waste]] as a [[Green Comingled]] arrangement) to the way it mixes the waste during collection.
