How It Works

Takes the hassle out of locking and unlocking the dumpster. The customer does not have to unlock it for the hauler because it unlocks automatically when dumped by the truck. The driver's job is simple. Just stay in the truck and lift the bin as if the lock were not there.


To use the trash container, simply unlock the padlock, turn the lever up to disengage Auto Bar and pull the bar forward to free the lids. To secure the container, simply reverse the process.
