  -> Thank you very much!
disagree  SafeTex: Without an explanation, I can't see the link between a type of vehicle with a container on the back into which you throw rubbish and the route taken by the vehicle.

agree  Mario Marcolin: Two kinds of vehicle here, a garbage truck for trash can content, the second a flatbed truck for loading trash cans - both on a fixed route, a "slinga"

  -> Thank you very much!
agree  Cynthia Coan: This translation seems plausible, because (1) garbage trucks tend to travel an established route at regular (e.g., weekly) intervals, and (2) one possible translation of "slinga" is "trail" (See http://en.bab.la/dictionary/english-swedish/trail).
