A great waste management plan begins with choosing the right types of containers to suit your needs, and our team at Keystone Waste Solutions LLC is here to help. We’re proud to offer a range of small containers to best meet your organization’s requirements, and in this article, we’d like to go over the pros and cons of each main type of container.
When choosing small containers for your project or job site, there are three main types to consider: front-load, rear-load, and side-load containers. Below, we’ll discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each option to help you determine which one you should select.
- Front-Load Containers: These small containers are designed to fit into small spaces, and their front-facing opening makes them easy to access. Since they don’t require additional clearance space during the loading or loading processes, they can work well in urban areas or other crowded spaces. However, these small containers tend to have smaller capacities compared to rear-load or side-load containers, and they might not be able to accommodate tall or bulky items.
- Rear-Load Containers: These small containers have wide access doors in the rear, making it easy to load and unload even bulky materials. They also have larger capacities compared to front-load containers, so you’ll likely require fewer frequent pickup services. These small containers are often better suited for businesses or areas that don’t have automated waste collection systems, but they can pose potential accessibility issues if a vehicle can’t maneuver to the back of the container.
- Side-Load Containers: Side-load containers are great for urban areas, as they can be easily loaded and unloaded from the curb. However, like front-load containers, these small containers tend to have smaller capacities than rear-load containers.
