Manoeuvrability Is The Key For Aberdeen
posted in Articles |Plastic Omnium, Europe’s largest waste containment and recycling company, has won a contract to supply 400-litre, four-wheeled bins to Aberdeen City Council.
The order follows a trial which saw the bin being used in the commercial sector. 200 bins will now be implemented across the city.
Howard Kershaw, waste collection and transport manager at Aberdeen City Council, said there were several reasons for choosing the 400-litre wheeled bin:
“For commercial collections these bins give added capacity and are safer and easier to handle. In the past, we’ve struggled with manoeuvrability issues but after trialling this new bin, we’re confident that we’ll see an end to those problems,” he commented.
Peter McCann from Plastic Omnium said the bins were proving increasingly popular for both commercial and residential sectors:
“These bins have four wheels, rather than two, which means the weight is evenly distributed and they don’t have to be tilted to move them. That’s becoming more appealing to local authorities who rightly place such emphasis on the health and safety of their collectors,” he commented.
