Storage Containers

Protection of valuable tools and building supplies on construction sites is becoming increasingly difficult and expensive. Storage containers are available to safely, conveniently and economically protect your property.

All metal storage containers measure approximately 22 feet long, seven feet wide, and eight feet tall. Locking doors are available on these containers. Steel covers protect the door levers, which can be secured by the customer’s padlocks. Removable shelf brackets can be delivered with the storage bin for organization of tools and building materials.

Storage containers are transported to and from your business, job site, or home for a reasonable charge. A monthly rental fee is charged for the use of the container. Storage containers can be rented for as few as 30 days or as long as the customer desires.

Compactors and Balers

Sales, Installation & Repair
Compactors and balers compress a large volume of waste to help reduce hauling service and cost. Ask your Service Representative for information about collection service, equipment installation, or repair.

Recycling makes sense... and can save you money!

Businesses that divert recyclable materials (office paper, cardboard, beverage from rubbish containers can potentially reduce trash service and collection costs.
