A garbage truck!

Did You Know?
"Flies" means both the insect and the action of flying - garbage trucks attract flies but don't fly! Modern garbage trucks can compress trash to one-third its original volume. The first motorized garbage truck appeared in 1920. Waste collection workers lift an average of 5 tons of garbage daily. Americans generate about 4.5 pounds of trash per person daily. Garbage trucks are among the most dangerous vehicles to operate, requiring special training and safety protocols. Recycling and composting help reduce landfill waste significantly!
