Original – A Lōdal Evo T-28 waste collection truck operated by Recology in San Francisco, California, USA. This vehicle is a side-loading compacting waste collection truck. Waste is loaded into the hopper located in the middle of the vehicle, which is then compressed into the body by a hydraulic ram.

  • Oppose – Little or no EV. Sca (talk) 16:03, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Obvious EV.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:59, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - Looks quite bizarre without a background. I would consider the unprocessed version if it were used in the articles instead. Kaldari (talk) 05:23, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose While this is a clear and useful image, I agree that the absence of a background is a problem: professional photos of vehicles tend to have either relevant backgrounds or some kind of neutral backing rather than portraying them as floating in space here.

    • If I were writing a print encyclopedia, I'd definitely use this. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the encyclopedias I had as a child used something similar.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:58, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • There are plenty of professional photos of vehicles with a white background. For example, garbage truck on Getty that is selling for $375. dllu (t,c) 05:02, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Very nice, clear photo that has no obvious problem areas. The white background actually seems to make this vehicle/photo pop out even more, which is nice. Goveganplease (talk) 15:31, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - I see how an artificial background can be distracting, but this being a piece of machinery, not just a vehicle, and this being an encyclopedia I am Ok with it. I see sufficient EV to support. Bammesk (talk) 16:20, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
