Model History[]

The Garbage Truck / Garbage King is designed to resemble a real garbage truck. The casting has a number of MB742 and was in production from 2008 to 2012 when it was discontinued. It returned in 2019 now named Garbage King, although retooled as the rear is now plastic and the cab is a separate piece rather than being part of the body. The back no longer opens.
