Collection Tools
- Heavy-duty leak-resistant bags
- Rolling carts or totes
- Grabbers and cleanup supplies
Launch with the right gear from day one so routes stay fast, safe, and consistent.
You do not need expensive fleet investments to start. Most new operators can launch with standard collection gear, safe transport setup, and reliable documentation tools.
Standard operating procedures matter more than premium hardware. Document your nightly prep checklist, route handoff, and incident escalation process.
Every team should carry a route map, emergency contact protocol, and clear contamination policy. This reduces service disruptions and avoids property-level complaints that can derail early contracts.
Use a system that captures pickup status and violations in real time. Strong reporting is often the most valuable "equipment" in your stack because it proves performance to property managers.
