Rear Lift services in mobile garbage bins (MGB) 240lt-1100lt are perfectly suited for small volumes of waste that can be cleared more frequently, where access is limited and a smaller bin and collection service is required city locations and back laneways, for example.

Suitable Industries include restaurants, cafes, hotels, offices, medical centres, retail spaces and workshops as they are compact and take up less space on site. As they are plastic, mobile garbage bins are lightweight and easy to manoeuvre, easy to clean and can be used both inside and outside your business’s premises.
