1. A vertically adjustable collection arm assembly mounted to a structure for picking up refuse cans comprising:
- an arm mechanism for picking up a refuse can, a housing coupled with the arm mechanism;
the arm mechanism being translatable within the housing to extend and retract for picking up the refuse cans; and
a lift mechanism for raising and lowering the arm mechanism, the lift mechanism coupled with the housing, the lift mechanism is directly mounted to a vertical surface of the structure to enable vertical movement of the arm mechanism with respect to the structure.
