Here in Reno everything goes to a transfer station and gets reloaded onto a drop deck extra capacity trailer, like those used in the oil fields for makeup water. Furthest roundtrip is 50 miles between transfer station and dump which seems to be a common distance in my experiences. So figure a 3 hour trip to and from dump including the dump of contents would make the pickup vehicle useless for a large portion of the day in most municipalities. They stopped dumping from the pick up vehicle before I left the small town I lived in 20 years ago and that dump was only 10 miles out.

Pretty sure we have one trial electric powered truck. Really stealthy except for the clunk of trashcans being emptied and the air brakes moaning or the massive signs proclaiming electric powered. Supposed to have high efficiency regen brakes but I haven't talked to the driver.
