load
Explanation:
While "tura" does mean the trip made by the vehicle, I think translating it as "...per load of removed waste" or something similar would sound best in English.

I guess the definition which I provided doesn't get displayed so I am amending the suggestion with this as well:

Load
Pronunciation: \ˈlōd\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English lod, from Old English lād support, carrying — more at lode
Date: 12th century

1 a : the quantity that can be carried at one time by a specified means; especially : a measured quantity of a commodity fixed for each type of carrier —often used in combination <a boatload of tourists> b : whatever is put on a person or pack animal to be carried : pack c : whatever is put in a ship or vehicle or airplane for conveyance : cargo; especially : a quantity of material assembled or packed as a shipping unit

collection


Explanation:
Iako "collection" ne znaci bukvalno "tura", smatram da u datom kontekstu ovo ne treba prevoditi "word for word' ili "rijec po rijec", narocito ne ako je krajnji korisnik (citalac) u Americi jer im "per bout" nece nista znaciti, a ako to jednostavno zamijenite sa"each time the trash has been collected", tacno se zna da se misli na svaku pojedinacnu turu. Naravno, ovo ne znaci da nema i boljih prijedloga, sto cu prepustiti kolegama.

agree  Anira: I ja mislim da bi u ovom kontekstu "garbage (or trash) collection" bilo ispravno rjesenje.
