Capture more Recycling and Organics, From Multifamily to Downtown
Organic waste makes up over 25% of all municipal solid waste and is a major contributor to odors, pests and mess when not properly contained, as well as harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Paper/cardboard and metal/glass/plastics both represent a further 25% respectively, so 75% of all MSW could be diverted from landfills and retained within the circular economy. As landfill costs are set to increase dramatically over the next few years, many cities are now requiring separate collection from homes and businesses to improve waste management and reduce environmental impact.
High-density areas present unique challenges when it comes to organics collection. Shared waste facilities often suffer from contamination, lack of user accountability and difficulty keeping collection points clean and accessible. Without proper containment, food waste can quickly attract vermin and create unpleasant conditions.
metroSTOR organics cart enclosures and dumpster enclosures provide secure, easy-to-use deposit points that help keep large, shared collection areas clean and well-managed. Designed to minimize mess and deter pests, these enclosures encourage maximum waste diversion while physically preventing contamination and allowing operators to monitor and control access if needed. The result is more waste diverted and a safer, cleaner neighborhood.
