Domestic Garbage Services


Here at Solo Resource Recovery we specialise in the collection of garbage, recyclables and green organics using the S.O.L.O. system (Single Operator Loading Operation). We were the co-founders of the system and as a result are able to provide the most effectively designed and engineered vehicles.

Solo are the leaders in dedicated and divided bin services, having pioneered the automated wheelie bin collection system and implemented many design improvements since we introduced the system in 1991.

Services Provided

Solo can provide garbage services in any of the following Mobile Garbage Bins (MGBs or wheelie bins):


 

  • 80 litre
  • 120 litre
  • 140 litre
  • 240 litre undivided
  • 240 litre divided
  • 360 litre
   

All bin sizes use an automated bin lifter to empty the garbage into the collection vehicle.
Material in the bin is emptied into our specifically designed collection vehicles. The bin (and any divider) line up exactly with the chute in the truck which guides waste and/or recyclables into their respective compartments in the vehicle. The vehicles are now designed so that each compartment is tailored to its contents, whether it be garbage, comingled recyclables, paper/cardboard or plastics/cans/glass. Compartment walls are angled and packing mechanisms are differed to maximise collection volume, provide easy emptying and minimise breakage of glass.
   
The benefits of divided bin services are:

 
  • Ease of use with single bin. No recycling schedules, one trip to kerb.
  • All waste is collected weekly.
  • Cost is significantly reduced due to the need for only one bin and one vehicle to service each tenement.
  • Surveys show a high participation rate.
  • The service can easily extend recycling facilities to Council parks and streets.
  • The environmental impact is less given fewer bins and fewer vehicles
Solo can customise services to suit varying budgets and objectives. We are flexible and well resourced to offer solutions using various vehicle types and bin types and can tailor bin supply and maintenance programs to suit.
Solo dispose of garbage collected responsibly, in accordance with the Council's directions. All drivers and staff are fully trained in Quality Management, Occupational Health and Safety and Environmental Policies and Procedures.
