The present document describes a collection container or vehicle-mounted articulated arm for discharging bins in a collection container. The arm comprises an attachment section which allows for mounting the arm on a collection container or a chassis of a vehicle carrying a collection container without effecting any alterations to the existing mechanism/structure of the collection container and/or the truck on which the collection container is provided. The arm also comprises an articulation mechanism which allows the arm to extend for grabbing the bin, lift the bin upward to discharge its content in the collection container, lower the bin to place it back on the ground, and retracts back toward the collection container for storage and/or transportation. An arm according to the present embodiments may be made from light materials such as aluminum without affecting its lifting capacity. In an embodiment, the weight of the bin applies a pressure on the arm, which pressure causes the arm to retract after grabbing the bin.
