Waste management can be a complicated subject, because so many stakeholders are involved and regulations differ from place to place.

But despite the pervasive everyday need to manage waste, since the debut of the Dempster Dumpster in 1935, for a long time very little changed in how waste is contained and collected. Dumpsters, wheeled carts, surface bins, and climate-controlled rooms were the default, and everyone just took on the costs — both clear and hidden — and inconvenience associated with these legacy solutions.

Fortunately, there’s a better way to manage waste.
