The company, which has been supplying both municipal and private haulers with plastic containers for waste since the 80’s, has developed alternatives to the metal and plastic commercial containers currently available based on input from industry groups and their customers.
The new containers have been designed to withstand the abuses that all commercial containers suffer during the collection process. Both the rear and front load containers are manufactured with UV stabilized 100% recyclable, polyethylene resin that will not rust and will never need painting.
Rehrig’s front load container features replaceable pocket sleeves with integrally molded-in bumpers that add sidewall thickness and protection against repeated wear and tear. They also include molded floor beams and stepped sidewalls to provide support against sagging and bowing and the crowned lids resist droop and prevent water collection.
Shawn Kruse, business manager of commercial container at Rehrig, said: “Throughout the years we’ve worked with municipalities and haulers to identify their needs and develop innovative products that provide efficient solutions for the industry.
“Our new plastic containers weigh 1/3 less than comparable metal containers yet are engineered to last longer and reduce or eliminate most repair costs.”
