Successful recycling infrastructure relies on sufficient storage capacity for maximum anticipated volumes across all streams between collections, whether from households, businesses, streetside or public space environments. Compact metroSTOR units minimize footprint and visual impact, with integral features that enable operators to switch between recycling streams for seasonable fluctuations and changes in legislation. Units can accommodate bulky waste and be specified with access control to exclude unauthorized users, preventing over-filling.

Convenience makes it easier do the right thing, and recycling facilities must be situated within easy but appropriate reach of all points of generation, accessible and safe for everyone to use, including those with limited strength, mobility or vision. metroSTOR product systems are intuitive in everyday use with clear messaging for waste streams, easy load design including ADA-compliant options. Developed to be convenient for operators too, metroSTOR units work with the waste management infrastructure you have, from existing containerized to physical structures.

Waste diversion infrastructure supported with a visual language instantly recognizable for stream type, color coded with multi-lingual signage and clear line drawings is key to successfully educating changing population structures. metroSTOR units minimize consumer confusion and contamination rates with a proven, user-friendly door panel and waste stream aperture design, complemented by informative instruction and regular prompts. Messaging can be specified to maximise impact as users approach, and include advise on where non-accepted items are to be placed.

Waste and recycling facilities that look smart, are clean, inviting for users and instantly recognizable in different settings both local and regionally is central to the success of waste diversion initiatives. metroSTOR clean design enables product series with standardized color-coding, symbols and messaging to be used across all city communications, minimizing confusion with users and contamination rates. Compatible with containers and fleet infrastructure in common use eases successful adoption of new initiatives.

Good containment system design encloses carts and dumpsters to prevent wind-blown litter and reduce illegal dumping which in turn, reduces cleaning requirements in addition to the potential impacts of arson. metroSTOR product systems minimise user-contact with containers enclosed in the open position. Aperture systems physically limit contamination and units are easy to keep clean with minimal labor inputs, particularly relevant for those containing food scraps and yard waste.
