Released in 2012, it contains 212 pieces and fits into urban scenes focused on road activity and municipal services.
Garbage Truck depicts a city service vehicle for a LEGO City layout. Its placement in City, Traffic connects it with everyday road use, utility vehicles and the background activity that makes a town setting feel occupied and functional.
The set contains 212 pieces and 2 minifigures. The characters are a man wearing blue overalls over a white V-neck shirt, a blue cap, beard and glasses, and a woman wearing blue overalls over a white V-neck shirt and a blue cap. The build is centred on the truck and on a general refuse collection scene, with no need to assume undocumented mechanisms or accessories.
This set suits builders who want to add a municipal service vehicle to a street, depot or working city scene. On display, it provides a recognisable utility vehicle among other urban models. For play, it supports traffic and city maintenance scenarios. Within a City collection, it belongs naturally alongside other Traffic sets and service vehicles concerned with daily urban life.
