Garbage Truck Recycling Page

A hardworking garbage truck visits a tidy neighbourhood to collect two wheeled bins beside houses, a tree, and fluffy clouds. Try green, blue, orange, white, or yellow for the truck, dark grey for the tyres, and a contrasting shade on the rear lifting arms. Colour the bins in two different recycling colours, the houses warmly, the tree green and brown, and the road pale grey. Begin with the large cab and compactor body, then trace the curved lifting mechanism and finish the mirrors, safety lights, steps, and wheels. Begin with the biggest spaces using gentle pressure, then add stronger colour to lights, panels, patterns, and other small details. Younger artists can use one solid shade in each shape, while older children can blend two related colours, add stripes or dots, and draw extra scenery in the open space. As you work, say the vehicle name—Garbage Truck—and notice the wheels, windows, controls, and special parts that help it move and do its job.
