The carrying frame has support arms for holding a container. The support frame is generally upright with the carrying frame folded adjacent the support frame when the carrier is in a container carrying position on the truck chassis, the center of gravity of a carried container located forwardly of the rear wheels of the truck. The support frame extends rearwardly with the carrying frame unfolded when the carrier is in a container pick-up position. In the pick-up position, the support arms on the carrying frame are located past the rear end of the truck chassis and extend rearwardly therefrom to engage a container on the ground. Moving means move the support and carrying frames between the carrying position and the pick-up position.
