Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

Why do recycling bins have divided compartments?

How do wheels and handles help waste collection workers?
Durable wheels and sturdy handles make it easy for residents and workers to roll heavy bins filled with recyclables to the curb. Automated lifting arms on garbage trucks hook onto handles to tilt and empty bins safely.
