With means provided in the driver's cab (8), one of the waste containers (4) can then be selected for emptying by means of the image displayed on the viewing screen (7), following which a jib (2) mounted on the refuse collection vehicle (1) moves towards the selected waste container (4) on the basis of control signals generated by the device, lifts said waste container up and moves it into a position in which it can be emptied. The device also comprises means for reading out information provided on a waste container (4) to be emptied, as well as recording means for storing information. <IMAGE>
