• Modular construction for easy and cost-efficient maintenance

• Monitor the progress of your waste collection teams

Optional Upgrades & Extras

• Access to a cloud-based AI-powered bin management platform that can be accessed by a smartphone or computer to enable you to plan, optimise and forecast collections
• The unit can be easily modified in situ to adapt to a 360L or 120L bin if your needs change in the future
