Beginning
in the Summer of 2003, the City of Warwick instituted a convenient,
exciting method
of trash and recycling collection -- the automated system.
Automated
collection is a technologically advanced system of refuse and
recycling collection and disposal. The system is called “automated”
because a special truck, equipped with a mechanical/robotic arm,
automatically lifts and empties special trash and recycling containers
without the driver ever leaving the cab of the truck. This is
a system designed to improve the efficiency of the Sanitation
& Recycling Division, make the task of putting out garbage
easier and cleaner for the resident, improve the appearance of
the City and greatly reduce the injury potential for City employees.

The
new automated system is safer, more efficient and requires less
labor to collect solid waste. In addition, because the mechanical
arm performs all the lifting, there is no risk of injury to the
driver. Each residence receiving curbside service is provided
three containers: one 96-gallon wheeled cart (gray) for garbage,
one 65-gallon wheeled recycling cart (blue) for bottles and cans,
and one 65-gallon wheeled recycling cart (green) for paper and
cardboard at no cost. The new system is the next step in improving
trash and recycling service to our residents.
