Used Freightliner Garbage and Recycling Trucks for Sale in Quebec

Looking for a used Freightliner garbage or recycling truck for your waste collection operations? At Groupe Gamache, we offer a carefully selected inventory of used Freightliner refuse trucks to meet the needs of municipalities, waste management companies and recycling operators across Quebec, Canada and North America.

Refuse collection trucks operate in one of the most demanding environments in the industry — stop-and-go routes, heavy compaction loads, frequent hydraulic cycles, and operations in all weather conditions year-round. The chassis must be robust enough to handle daily compaction stress, the powertrain must deliver reliable torque for frequent loaded starts, and the hydraulic system must perform cycle after cycle without failure. Freightliner meets these requirements with purpose-built vocational models powered by Detroit Diesel engines.

Our team helps you identify the right vehicle based on your collection type, body configuration, service territory and budget. Each available unit is presented with its full specifications.

Why Choose a Used Freightliner Refuse Truck?

Municipal and commercial waste collection demands equipment that simply does not stop. Choosing a used Freightliner garbage truck means betting on:

  • Vocational chassis built to withstand daily compaction loads, hydraulic stress and the repetitive punishment of refuse collection routes
  • Detroit Diesel torque for reliable starts on fully loaded collection routes — essential for stop-and-go urban collection
  • Exceptional parts availability and service network across Quebec, ensuring municipal and private collection schedules are not disrupted by extended downtime
  • Models compatible with rear-loader, side-loader and front-loader refuse body configurations
  • Lower acquisition cost than new, allowing budget optimization for body maintenance and fleet renewal

Freightliner Models Used for Refuse Collection

Several Freightliner models are well-suited to refuse and recycling collection applications.


Freightliner 114SD: The most widely used Freightliner platform for refuse collection in Quebec. Its vocational chassis, Detroit Diesel reliability and compatibility with major refuse body manufacturers make it the reference choice for municipal and private waste collection fleets.

Freightliner 122SD: The preferred platform for heavy-duty refuse applications — large rear-loaders, front-loaders or roll-off configurations requiring maximum payload capacity and chassis strength.

Freightliner M2 106: Used for lighter refuse applications — recycling collection, smaller rear-loaders or urban routes where maneuverability is a priority. Appreciated for its versatility and ease of driving in tight residential areas.

Freightliner M2 112: A medium-duty option for refuse applications requiring more capacity than the M2 106 while maintaining good urban maneuverability for mixed residential and commercial collection routes.

FAQ – Used Freightliner Garbage and Recycling Trucks

Why choose a Freightliner for refuse collection?

Freightliner vocational trucks are among the most widely used platforms in North American refuse collection fleets. Their chassis toughness, Detroit Diesel reliability and compatibility with major refuse body manufacturers make them a trusted choice for municipalities and waste management operators.

What refuse body configurations are compatible with Freightliner trucks?

Freightliner vocational chassis are compatible with rear-loader, side-loader, front-loader and roll-off refuse body configurations. Compatibility depends on the specific model, wheelbase and GVWR. Our team can help match the right chassis to your body requirements.

What should I check before buying a used Freightliner refuse truck?

In addition to mechanical inspection, check the hydraulic system (cylinders, hoses, pump condition), the compactor body condition (wear on compaction blade and ejector), PTO operation, and the overall frame condition. Refuse trucks accumulate hydraulic cycles quickly — body condition is as important as chassis condition.

Can I get help choosing the right Freightliner refuse truck?

Absolutely. Our team helps you identify the right model based on your collection type, route density, body configuration requirements and budget — to find a reliable used Freightliner garbage or recycling truck that keeps your collection schedule on track.
