I remember I was very much astonished to see the garbage truck in Vancouver for the first time. It is almost twice as large as the Japanese one. The surprising point is not the size but its dynamic movement. It has two arms in the front part and they move just like a gigantic robot in sci-fi movies. The way it collects garbage is really dynamic and powerful. It stops at trash cans in front of each house and apartment in the town. The arms hold the each can full of garbage and pick it up over it's head to throw all its contents into the tray at the rear of the truck. To tell the truth, I found this garbage collecting scene this morning after a long time because it had been rare for me to be up in this period of time. When I tried to take pictures in which the garbage was just thrown into the tray, the driver told me not to take pictures. I don't know the reason why he refused it. Is it a kind of industrial secrets?
