A combination front receptacle for use with a front-loading type refuse vehicle (10) in the collection of refuse. The combination front receptacle is supported on the front forks (16) of the large dump arms (14) on the refuse collection vehicle and includes a front receptacle (32) and a refuse can handling assembly (42). The refuse can handling assembly includes a trolley extension (44) for moving laterally along the front of the front receptacle, a lifting arm (46), pivotable on the trolley extension, and gripping fingers (48) operatively connected to the lifting arm, for gripping a refuse can (38) and dumping it into the front receptacle. The front receptacle has an open top and is sufficiently large to allow the dumping of a number of refuse cans prior to requiring emptying into the main hopper (18) of the refuse collection vehicle. |
