How much gasoline is used by the fleets of garbage trucks used in recycling programs in the US?

How efficient are the Recycling Transportation Vehicles(mpg)?
How far do they travel? Are all areas serviced(rural areas far from centralization)?
What percentage of people don't utilize recycling programs, but have trucks visit them anyway?
How many extra garbage trucks are on the road to provide extra capacity for the possibility that people will recycle on an inconsistent basis?

i drive a recycling truck in Australia for the city of Casey we have 4 trucks on that run.. i go through roughly $500 a week on diesel servicing about 1500 house give or take 100 on my own a day.. in Australia every municipality has a recycling program built into the rates they pay..
