There are different types of garbage trucks, and their movements and installed parts vary.

All of the trucks being introduced are made using cardboard.

By paying attention to details—such as changing the shape of the emergency stop switch section, recreating the tail lamps with plastic sheets, and writing the manufacturer’s name—you can complete a garbage truck that looks just like the real thing.

Understanding the movements and features of each type of garbage truck also makes it easier to imagine the materials you’ll need to prepare.

Be sure to try making a garbage truck in your own style.
