[edit] Unreferenced?

I noticed the "unreferenced" tag in the article. I'd like to know what kind of references are needed? My contributions to the WCV related articles comes mainly from own experience, but I never wrote or taped it, so there are no references on those things - well, at least not from me, that is.

[edit] Moving front walls

I noticed this line in the last paragraph before "History": Most rear loaders lift the rear section so that the garbage will spill out. Front loaders more commonly have a moving wall that pushes the garbage out.

All the rear loaders I have driven have moving walls as well. When collecting, they hold the waste in order to compact it all from the beginning. The wall automaticly moves forward according to the pressure from the waste. At the waste facility the driver moves the wall back by pressing a button or a handle. G®iffen 16:11, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Terminology

I find this statement curious: colloqually called a 'Garbage Truck', more correctly called a 'Dustbin lorry' Why is 'Dustbin Lorry' more correct? I had never even heard that term before today (for me, they've always been 'garbage trucks'). I think it would read better as 'colloquially called a 'Garbage Truck' or'Dustbin lorry'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pyroechidna1 (talk • contribs) 21:18, 13 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Random text?

I removed some random arabic text, I don't know who put it there but it doesn't have to do with the article. Below is an excerpt.
