by Ann Withanee — October 21, 2011—CleanRiver Recycling Solutions, a division of Midpoint International, Inc., has introduced patent-pending waste and recycling containers that can be easily configured and reconfigured to meet current and future waste stream requirements. According to the company, Transition TPM Configurable Recycling and Waste Containers can be modified onsite with interchangeable opening plates and movable internal dividers to handle up to four separate types of waste and recyclables in a single unit. These units include four-color posters and labels that enhance public awareness and improve recycling effectiveness.
Transition TPM containers are designed so that businesses, institutions and government agencies can implement recycling programs at their own pace and can easily and cost effectively adjust to inevitable changes. “The name Transition is significant because the same container can be used at all stages from a first step collecting trash or bottles and cans to a full multi-stream recycling and composting program,” said CleanRiver President Dave Jarrett.
Lightweight and portable, Transition TPM Series Recycling and Waste Containers are designed to encourage recycling in cafeterias, banquet halls, dorms, special events, parking garages and other high-traffic areas.
Through the design of its interchangeable containers, Clean River says it gives facilities and maintenance personnel the speedy opportunity of keeping abreast of waste and recycling requirements as they occur. When they do, the adaptable containers are ready for quick change.
Transition TPM Series Recycling and Waste Containers are available in 22-, 36- and 51-gallon sizes. They are molded from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) made from up to 98 percent recycled content, making the container itself completely recyclable at the end of its useful life.
