A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a body, a refuse collection arm, a position sensor configured to detect a position of the refuse collection arm relative to the body, an object detection system configured to provide object detection data within a range of locations relative to the body, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive an indication, based on the object detection data, that an object is within the range of locations, in response to the indication that the object is within the range of locations, determine an initial location of the object relative to the body and determine if the object is an obstacle or a refuse container, and control operation of the refuse collection arm by limiting movement of the refuse collection arm to a grabbing position.
