Eco PRT Bin
FEL Truck Lineup

Front Load Container

  • Commonly used in industrial and commercial properties, designed for a permanent waste solution.
  • Ideal for any business or property that generates a large amount of waste on a weekly basis.
  • The main benefits are the same as a rear-load container, i.e. your waste is stored in a metal bin that is resistant to fire, rodents, insects, leaks and odors.
  • Bins are great for customers who have the space, and they do a great job of facilitating the separation of recyclables. They are also efficient, safe and reliable.
  • Unlike rear-load contains the driver does not have to exit the truck, the driver, instead, pulls up to service a front-load container.
  • Available in the following dimensions: 2 cubic yards (80" L x 41-1/2" W x 41" H), 3 cubic yards (80" L x 42" W x 42" H), 4 cubic yards (80" L x 79" W x 42" H), 6 cubic yards (80" L x 80" W x 53-1/2" H) and 7 or 8 cubic yards (82" L x 82" W x 74-1/2" H).
RSF Reciever Box

Stationary Compactor

  • Our Roll Off trucks service customers utilizing Stationary Compactors.
  • Often used for recycling cardboard, but can be used for dry waste.
  • The compactor is “stationed” onsite while the receiver box breaks away and is hauled to a dump site for waste or recycling.
self contained

Self-Contained Compactor

  • Our Roll Off trucks service customers utilizing SC Compactors.
  • Primarily used for wet material applications.
  • Mainly restaurants or food waste applications.
bale

Bale Route

(Typically, Tractor with 53' Flatbed trailer with ramp for forklift)

  • A service type that is used to collect baled product ONLY, typically when the supplier or customer has the bales located at Ground Level.
  • Often serviced without any charges and is paid a certain % or $ value below the OBM/RISI Recovered Paper Market.
trailer

Tractor Trailer

(Typical Tractor Truck with Van Trailer)

  • Trailer service is performed via Staged Trailer or Live Load.
  • Sometimes customers have their own trailers and trucks and will deliver their material in.
  • When trailers are staged, they are often used as extended storage for a customer.
  • If a trailer is not moving more than twice a month, typically trailer rental is applied as the asset is not paying for itself and the customer is using the trailer for storage more than moving recyclable products.
  • Live loads are just how they sound, the truck shows up either on scheduled pickup time or first come, first serve basis and is live loaded by the customer.
  • LTL (Less than Truckload) is also an option but not frequently done in the Recycling Industry.
box turk

Box truck

(Varies but Typically 24' Straight Truck as pictured)

  • A service used to pick up less than full truckload quantities of material.
  • Box Truck services are always live load.
  • Most Box Trucks have liftgates but typical application is for Dock Height material collection.
  • Material is typically skidded/palletized or is in various Material Handling Equipment.
  • Box Truck Routes may do some "Milk Route" type services but often one customer will store just enough at their location to fill the truck.

  • Gaylords typically need a pallet underneath so a forklift can transport it.  It can be loaded side-by-side on a trailer.
  • Usually, they are not double stackable because of the weight of the pallet, but can be done if weight of material is light enough.

Toter

  • Has two wheels so it can be transported to different areas.
  • It also fits through doorways and elevators for easy transportation, i.e. multiple rooms or multiple floor buildings to bring to loading / dock area.

  • Available in 35, 64 and 96 gallon capacities.
