Conditions of operation and care of containers

Overfilling of waste containers and places of waste accumulation near the containers is not allowed. To clean the container, it is necessary to remove the wheels from the brake, drive it to the garbage manipulator, which will hook the container to the pins (comb grip) and clean the container from waste by tipping it over. When the container is suspended on the lifting device, the lid must be closed, which means that the lid must not be opened in any case due to overloading or for other reasons. Otherwise, the cover may be damaged by parts of the lifting device.
