The catwalker was released Friday from a garbage truck garage after completing five days of community service for assaulting her maid.
The British supermodel sauntered out of the Department of Sanitation facility in Manhattan just after 4 p.m., making her exit seconds after a garbage truck rolled through the area.
The pavement and chain-linked fence might as well have been a catwalk: She strutted through in a bare-shouldered, ankle-length shimmering gown and stiletto sandals, then stepped into her silver Rolls Royce and sped away as neighborhood residents and paparazzi ogled.
Her boss for the week, department chief Albert Durrell, said she successfully completed her service.
The 36-year-old supermodel had pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault for throwing the phone at her maid about a year ago in her Campbell's Park Avenue apartment over a missing pair of jeans.
Her maid, Ana Scolavino, required four stitches to her head, since the phone apparently was crystal-encrusted.
Campbell said it was an accident because she did not intend to hit her.
Misdemeanor assault is punishable by up to a year in jail.
In an agreement negotiated with prosecutors, a Manhattan Criminal Court judge sentenced Campbell to the five days of community service, to take anger management classes and to pay $363.32 in restitution to Scolavino, as well as covering her hospital bills.
A chauffeured Cadillac Escalade sport utility vehicle picked her up the other days.

- Glad Ms. Campbell did her time lets see if it helped with her hitting people. Also she should be warned as well as other celbrities if you break the law you will pay a penalty!
This has nothing to do with race or the fact she is a women, it has to do about our Justice system which really needs to be looked into. Ms Campbell along with others who abuse authority need to be reminded if you do the crime you do the time! Regardless of you money or stature!!! - Reply to this comment
- There's is no reason on this earth why someone who poses for pictures for a living is filthy rich in the first place...especially a person who looks and acts like her.

- This whole thing is garbage. She's a spoiled bully who has been allowed to abuse people and continues to do so. Frankly, I don't see what's great about her, she's a scrawny hag. Maybe the growing list of people she has hurt can file a civil lawsuit against her!

- I have to suspect that someone who can only be seen in public if she looks like she's attending the Oscars is not quite sane. What does it get her to constantly be ostentatious about her wealth? Does it make her feel important? Does she think she'll get more jobs that way? Is she sick in the head? Yeah, that must be it.

- The only thing she did was make fools of the judge and the Sanitation Dept. She should be charged with contempt and sent to jail for a couple of weeks...no personal clothing allowed! Every day when she arrived at the site, she would basicly thumb her nose and strut for the cameras...what a waste of air...

- With her attitude, it sounds like she needs another 5 days .... and then maybe another five.
