A City of Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation Volvo recycling garbage truck. Chicago Illinois. March 2009.

I took this photo on Chicago's northwest side somewhere north of Higgins Avenue near Harlem.

Seen here on a lovely day in the early Spring of 2009, is a City of Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation Volvo recycling garbage truck.

The cab is wearing the standard light blue color scheme used on the regular City of Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation vechicles, but the garbage truck body is painted in the "New" dark blue color scheme used on the recycling trucks.

It was unheard of back then when I was growing up in Chicago during the 1960's and 70's, but the City of Chicago has been making great strides with recycling programs and going green environmental campaigns in recent years.
