Retrofits & Upgrades
LBin™ systems can be retrofitted to most traditional waste transfer sites.
Eliminating all the Major Safety issues and significantly improving material recovery.
Upgrade your unsafe & inefficient Sawtooth or Pit Waste Transfer Station
Retrofitting an LBin System on an old school Sawtooth or Push Pit WTS can result in the following benefits:
Major improvements in site safety
- Eliminate Falls from height & Into bins
- Reduce user-on-user contacts
- Reduce user-on-staff physical interactions
- Eliminate machine movements through user areas.
- Reduce truck movements through the user area.
- Reduce user site time by >50%
- Reduce user Strains & Sprains by eliminating the need to carry and lift items over the waste transfer point
Improve Reuse Recovery
- Identify valuable reuse and recycling items before they are committed to bulk waste
- Swap out LBins with recoverables for extraction away from the public
- Eliminate the need to store & move recovered items in the public area
- As reuse items are placed in the LBin and not thrown over a wall or into a pit there is less damage, ensuring higher value and less repair work.
Intercept Problem Waste
- Tyres, Paint, Gas Bottles, batteries, fire extinguishers, poisonous chemicals and others can represent substantial issues if they are permitted into the bulk waste stream.
- Lay & Display of each load in the LBin allows for problem waste to be identified & Intercepted before it contaminates the bulk waste.
- LBins with problem waste can be swapped out, the items can be extracted by skilled staff safely and away from the public.
Intercept Hazardous Waste
- Lay & Display allows hazardous waste to be Identified and intercepted before it contaminates the bulk waste.
- LBins with hazardous waste can be sealed & swapped out. Removing the hazard quickly & safely from the work area.
- Hazardous chemicals are contained in the LBin preventing site floor contamination.
- Combustible materials and fires are contained in the LBin prior to the bulk waste stream, preventing larger site fires
Fee Recovery
- With Lay & Display items with unit recharge rates like Tyres can be easily identified to ensure accurate customer charges.
- Problem or hazardous waste can be easily identified as belonging to an individual customer. Remediation costs can be targeted to the customer.
- Contamination by Hazardous waste can be contained to the material in the LBin reducing the extent and cost of remediation.
- All major injury types common to WTS are eliminated, reducing Worksafe punitive and lawsuit exposure.
Site Cleanliness
- With users able to back their vehicle up to the LBin waste is deposited on the floor of the LBin and not the WTS.
- Loose materials, rubble, soils and garden waste can be pushed from the user vehicle directly into the bin, rather than being shovelled swept and carried to a Pit.
- Chemicals & Oils spilt in the depositing process are captured in the LBin and not on the WTS floor.
