Summary

INTRODUCTION

Sustainable development is impossible without a well-established system of solid and liquid household waste management. In this context, the problem of waste disposal is acute in Ukraine, as 92% of wastes are stored in landfills or waste dumps [1]. The processes of collection, transportation and disposal of solid waste are provided by special transport vehicles. Among these vehicles, a special place belongs to garbage trucks, which are operated in cities and must meet the requirements of sanitary norms, operational safety, and environmental safety. Since there are no waste processing plants in Lviv, or in most cities of Ukraine, household waste is stored in an open space – landfills for solid waste
