Sanitation Department Unveils New Roto Pac Trucks

The Garland Sanitation Department has added two new Roto Pac trucks. The innovative vehicles represent a significant leap forward in our commitment to efficient waste collection.

The Roto Pac boasts an auger system that shreds trash as it's loaded. This feature offers a multitude of benefits for our community and our Sanitation operations.

• More Trash, Fewer Trips: The Roto Pac's compaction power allows our drivers to haul significantly more tonnage per trip. This translates to fewer trips to the transfer station reducing daily offloads from three to just one! This translates to a reduction in fuel consumption and emissions, benefitting both our environment and our budget.
• Faster Processing at the Landfill: Since the trash arrives at the landfill already shredded and compacted, the landfill requires less time and resources for further processing.
• Reduced Landfill Footprint: The compacted nature of the trash from the Roto Pac means it takes up less space at the landfill. This translates to a longer lifespan for our landfills, a crucial factor for sustainable waste management.
