First we have an AMS SP-L owned by Switch 1988 collecting cardboard in one of the Northern areas of Genova. It's my understanding that Genova has at least two haulers, Amiu for the central areas by the port, and Switch 1988 up north in the mountain areas.
Second is Amiu collecting more cardboard with one of their little trucks in central Genova. These trucks are responsible for almost all the waste in this area of Genova, because they fit down these little pedestrian alleys. Not sure who the manufacturer is, but they have at least two models, the R105 and R108. The R108, (seen here), is equipped with a packer very similar to the packer on the old Revopak.
Thirdly is a Farid Micropac collecting food waste in Rapallo, a little ways east of Genova. Then is another Micropac, collecting cardboard from a business.
Then is a Farid Minimatic collecting trash in one of the five small towns of Cinque Terre. That was the craziest thing I've ever seen; there's what LOOKS like a normal public litter bin that residents bring and put their trash into it. Then the trash just falls right through it, into a large metal container. Then when the truck comes, the driver pushes a button on a remote that raises the entire thing up, then a door opens and the trash he ejected into the hopper of the truck, much like a pup-to-rear loader transfer. After he does that, he sits there for a while and lets anyone with extra trash or large businesses bring their trash over.
Then is a Farid Minipac collecting more cardboard in Genova on a Friday evening. And with an extremely handy pedestrian bridge right over that stop, I managed to get an excellent hopper shot of that truck.
Then lastly, is one of the garbage boats used for collection in Venice. Workers wheel these carts around picking up trash, then bring it over to the boat to be emptied, and so on. The trash is emptied into a container, which then is likely hauled by larger boat or train to the mainland.
