ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A weighing system (22) for a refuse truck (24) having lifting means for engaging and lifting a refuse container (26). The weighing system comprises a transducer (42) which is mounted on the lifting means of the truck for sensing the weight of the refuse container for producing an electrical analog signal. Electrical digitizing means convert the analog signal to a digital signal which is indicative of the weight which is sensed by the transducer. A limit switch (44) is operatively connected to the transducer (42) so that the transducer is energized at a point when a full container is supported by the lifting means and when an empty container is supported by the lifting means for the purpose of determining the weight of the refuse in the container (26).
