The [[Wheelie Bin]] has a lip on the front edge opposite the hinge of the lid, which locates on a 'comb' lifting unit attached to the rear of the lorry. When the comb is engaged the bin is lifted and pivots on the rear of the lorry, and empties its contents into the rear of lorry. The point of waste deposit into the lorry is called a hopper, and within this unit there is a hydraulic ram that pushes the waste into the body of the lorry via a blade through a series of compacting cycles)(see diagram below). This compaction allows multiple bins of compressible waste to be emptied and compacted into the lorry to optimise the weight and the logistics associated with onward transportation for processing. At the point of unloading, the rear section of the lorry, including the compacting hopper unit, opens upwards at the rear of the lorry, and a separate hydraulic ram is then used to push the collected waste out of the vehicle.
