As a business owner, you have plenty to worry about. From employee retention to advertisements, the last thing you need to worry about is replacing containers to keep your business thriving. Investing in durable, high-quality carts has many business benefits. These benefits include creating a safe working environment, improving job efficiency, versatility, freeing up floor and counter space, and more! Material handling carts are essential equipment for many industries that want to improve employee and business success. Proper material handling carts allow employees to complete their daily tasks efficiently and safely, which means your company runs in an organized and structured fashion. To find the best containers for your business, we will break down some of the basic needs for each industry.
Food
Many restaurants and processing plants utilize commercial recycling containers to recycle organic waste. These containers prevent groundwater contamination that may cause hazardous walking areas within your business. With leakage prevention and portable movement, your employees will no longer worry about stepping in waste.
According to the EPA, the United States produced 292.4 million tons of waste in 2018. [1] Consumers today care about the impact on our environment and the health of the population. By utilizing commercial recycling containers, businesses can improve their public brand, reduce their environmental impact by decreasing their material waste, and save money.
Our commercial recycling containers ensure quiet, trouble-free pickup and removal without disturbing the space of its location. Once a waste management company picks up the recyclables, it will be taken to a facility where the materials will be reused after sorting. These lightweight and durable containers keep their aesthetic appearance with resistance to color fading from UV rays, saltwater, and most chemicals. Plastic commercial recycling containers are customizable and easy to clean.
We also offer commercial trash cans of all sizes and colors for placement within your business. These heavy-duty waste bins, made with tough polyethylene construction, have an offset lip for securing plastic garbage bags. DPI offers several customizations including drain holes, stenciled numbers, and stenciled letters.
Plastic stack nest totes and tote boxes are perfect for moving around dishes, storing holiday decorations, and other bulk loads. These heavy-duty plastic totes are stackable, nestable, and available in an assortment of colors. With tough polyethylene construction, there are many available sizes and customizations.
Industrial
Construction workers use mobile plastic tilt trucks, plastic utility carts, or plastic bulk carts to transport supplies such as wood pallets, household goods, furniture, roofing materials, and more [2]. Lightweight and durable, our utility carts deliver superior organizational functionality for industrial businesses such as construction zones, manufacturers, and warehouses. Proper equipment enables employees to move materials such as heavy equipment, waste, and textiles easily and safely.
Other workers within the industrial industry may use our industrial plastic bins or stack nest totes to store uniforms, tools, personal items, and safety equipment. Our industrial plastic bins are made with hi-tech poly, phenolic, and polyurethane casters.
Plastic traffic barricades can be used for a variety of applications. DPI meets OSHA height requirements for handrails, and we also offer plastic safety barricades with a metal fence panel that can be used for construction sites, military installations, festivals, concerts, government facilities, and general security and privacy. These lightweight safety barricades are made of durable plastic with a water filled base to support a 6 ft x 6 ft chain link fence panel for temporary security. No tools are required for installation and the interlocking panels connect for additional strength.
Debris from construction or demolition is collected with commercial recycling containers or commercial dumpsters. Home remodeling or construction projects can produce recyclable materials, such as roofing shingles and several types of metals. Disposal costs decrease when waste is properly disposed of in these commercial containers and is dropped off at their correct facility by the waste management company. These industrial plastic products allow companies to save both time and money!
Textiles
By 2026, the global textile dyes market is projected to reach $15.5 billion. [3] This ever-expanding industry requires reliable materials to keep up with the demanding market. In the fabric and clothing manufacturing industry, processes such as textile dying to obtain the color and pattern are needed to provide quality to their customers. Our industrial plastic bins are utilized as textile dye tubs because of their unique properties and customization options.
Textile dye tubs are easy to clean between dye sessions and lack sharp edges that could snag the material of the product. Made from hi-tech poly, phenolic, and polyurethane casters, they are lightweight and mobile for easy transportation. Furthermore, our textile dye tubs will stand the test of time against harsh dyes.
Commercial recycling containers and commercial trash cans are ideal for this industry. Of the 100 billion garments produced each year, 92 million tons end up in landfills. [4] Our commercial containers can help organize the recyclable material from waste and improve the global impact of the fashion industry.
Hospitality
Places such as hotels, motels, cruise ships, and resorts rely on the housekeeping staff to provide clean rooms for guests. Housekeepers are responsible for changing linens, removing trash, and sanitizing the bathrooms. [5] To do their job efficiently, housekeepers require various equipment to keep the premises at the highest standard of appearance.
Our linen and laundry transport carts, linen transport trucks, and linen exchange carts are a perfect place for housekeeping staff to place used linens in while cleaning a room. These commercial laundry bins allow employees to transport items like bedding, towels, and uniforms quickly and productively
Commercial recycling containers and commercial dumpsters allow businesses to remove and sort waste systematically. Our lightweight containers remain durable and aesthetically pleasing regardless of the heavy foot traffic within the hospitality industry. Hotels, resorts, hospitals, etc. benefit tremendously in efficiency from industrial plastic bins. Without them, housekeeping staff may struggle to keep items organized throughout their shift.
