Lego Maniacs' Guide
“This truck has got to be one of the best among the medium-size town vehicles. It's useful, functions well, and stands out as a realistic model. All of this with only 103 pieces including two mini-figs and some fun elements. It is fully functioning as a loading garbage truck.... More A small platform on the back of the truck holds a trash can and lifts it at an angle to dump the can's contents through a tailgate/chute into a spacious storage area. When the truck is full, the entire storage area tilts (just like a dump truck) and the hinged tailgate opens up to dump out all the stuff.”

“This 1987 garbage truck set stands out with its functional rear lift and tilting compartment, designed to replicate real-world operations. The set includes two minifigures, garbage bins, and rare printed recycling panels, making it a well-designed addition to any collection.”
