dc.description.abstract	Low efficiency in collection and transportation of garbage and environmental pollution with the currently available vehicles such as open dump trucks, tractor trailers are two of the main problems encountered in solid waste management in Sri Lanka. This paper proposes an innovative design using a currently available tractor trailer improve above problems. The capacity of waste transported is improved by compacting the garbage using a hydraulic system. A closed body is built with safe unloading system to overcome the environmental pollution.
