Ford truck for sure... I would like some of what Dion is smoking.
I'm guessing it's an automated "side loader", as they pick up from the passenger side, and everything on the driver side looks closed in from your pics.
From wiki:

Typically an Automated Side Loader uses specialized wheeled carts compatible with the truck's automated lift.[7]

I know this is a bigger truck, but it would make sense with the ladder over the driver's side, and the closed in back.

So, maybe the guy works for a private recycler? I see private blue bins at gas stations for empty oil jugs, and I think there may be companies that pick up recycling from condos and such...
