A truck fitted with a rear loading compactor in combination with a system of equipment facilitates the picking up of leaves from City streets. Compaction of the leaves allows more carrying capacity and fewer trips to the dump thus improving efficiency. The leaves are raked into the gutters by property owners. A two-man operation, the truck driver operates a sweep mechanism from the cab of the truck. The driver lowers the sweep and as he drives forward the leaves are windrowed allowing the truck's wheels to straddle the row. As the truck moves the row emerges from under the rear of the compactor and is loaded by one of three different types of loaders; a belt loader, a drum loader or a scoop loader. Each type has its own particular attributes. The second operator rides a side platform and raises and lowers the loader from operating position to running position. The running position is used when hunting new leaf piles or taking a load to the City's compost. A front bumper supported detector warns of unwanted debris in the leaf row. No additional equipments are required during the leaf havesting.
