Garbage Truck and Sanitation Worker on a City Street
Coloring guide
The star here is a smiling garbage truck with big round eyes and a cheerful grin. Beside it, a young sanitation worker in a cap and safety vest tips a wheeled bin onto the rear lifting arm. A separate bin with the three-arrow recycling symbol sits on the pavement up front. Round-leafed trees and a few bushes frame the street behind the truck, and a sidewalk curves along the bottom of the page. Thick, clean outlines and large open shapes are easy for little hands to fill in. Reflective yellow or orange works for the worker's vest, and fresh green on the recycling bin will make the symbol pop. Download and print it free for class time or a rainy day. Kids who like City coloring pages usually enjoy Flowers and Forest too.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Start with the big areas: color the truck body and cab in lime green, and the truck's back panels in forest green.
- 2Fill the lifting arms and the bin lid details with golden yellow, leaving the small highlights on the arms uncolored if you like.
- 3Color the worker's vest in lemon yellow, his shirt in bright blue, his pants in deep blue, and his shoes in brown; use peach skin for his face and hands and orange for his cap.
- 4Paint the recycling bin bright blue and the bin the truck is lifting in emerald green, then color the road light gray and the sidewalk medium gray.
- 5Keep the eye whites, headlights, and the recycling arrows white, and color the windshield pale sky blue. Optional: add darker tones along the bottom of the truck body and the wheels for a bit of depth.
