The Nord Easy System of Rapallo, Liguria, Italy

Definitely a rather slow process, but that's made up for by the fact that these hold the waste from an entire block worth of apartments and businesses. ;)
These were easily my favorite trucks in Europe, as it was my first time seeing this European method in person. Aimeri Ambiente (Aimeri Environment in English) runs these trucks on completely separate shifts, likely to avoid interference with each other. Where I was staying plastics/metals were collected Monday-Saturday at 6 am, garbage at 3 pm Monday-Saturday (but at 6 am on Sunday since the plastics/ metals don't get collected), paper Monday-Saturday at midnight, and glass doesn't have a set day or time. It's just collected randomly from what I saw.
These trucks are the Iveco Stralis (except for the glass truck) with the Nord Easy System body on it. These trucks' booms can rotate 180 degrees (as seen in the video) so it can collect containers on the right and left hand sides of the truck. The glass truck is a single axle Iveco Eurocargo, with a smaller version of the Nord body on it as well as a different arm that doesn't fold up like on its full size version. All glass is collected with these minis likely because of weight issues with the glass. Also, (as you get a quick glimpse of in the video) these trucks have hooklift bodies, very similar the PODs in Oceanside so they can simply just be transferred off. These containers are also made by Nord, and come in a variety of different sizes, and with the option of a lid or a hole for bottles.
Color coding is green for glass, blue for paper, gray for trash, and yellow for plastics/metals for those of you that are wondering.
Thanks to the drivers!

    Definitely one of the most unique ways to collect refuse/recycling!

    Dear god I'm so overwhelmed and confused all at once! I think I figured out how they pick up the containers, but how do they open the bottom doors? I must fav this video for the glass collections haha, that's awesome. It's just soooooo damn complicated, jesus! At least they're huge bins that are all over, I assume. I'd be pissed if I had to separate paper from glass from plastics/metals! Awesome video!

    Personally I can't think of a worse way to do this, but far be it from me to keep the Europeans from overcomplicating things. It is pretty cool to see though, nice vid!

    Slow indeed, looks like it takes around 1:10 per bin as long as they don't have to hold it over the hopper for too long, and they would have to if the bins were bigger and/or more full. Most of the bins here don't look close to being full. Between the arm and the hopper, there isn't much room left on the frame for the body, especially shows on the little single axle truck. Then of course the complexity of the arm. cont...
