Thursday Residential Services
Village Of
North Palm Beach
Public Works Department
Residential recycle and vegetation creates an imbalance in the operational workload
(1) collection blue bins -(1) collection yellow bins -(1) collection vegetation
Different truck for each collection –can not mix blue, yellow and/or vegetation together
After the completion of recycle, Sanitation drivers travel to SWA disposal site
One truck travels to the SWA disposal sight at a time so collection can continue
Routinely unable to finish vegetation collection and have to roll it over to the next day
Number of trucks and staff available are the key factors
We visit each home three times on Thursdays

Thursday Residential Challenges
Front-Load Truck 398
Operational expense are higher for the Front -Load
trucks because there are many more moving parts
It is designed for residential curbside services that
require residential carts
Can not use for paper or glass recycling
Smaller size dump bucket limits collection on bulk
and vegetation services
Roughly 35 feet in length while working on route
Does not fit inside the garage for maintenance
Inefficient and unproductive for the residential side
door service collection method
Kubotas were designed for rear-load trucks and not
front-load trucks
Currently have (4) front-load trucks; only need (3)
for multi-family and commercial dumpsters

We need (4) Rear-Load trucks to run
operations efficiently and effectively
Due to our aging Rear-Load trucks, we are
routinely down (1) truck due to needed
maintenance and repair
Need (5) Rear-Load trucks to make sure (4)
trucks are in operation a majority of the time
Sell Front-Load truck 398 and purchase new
Rear-Load truck; should be an even swap
