Wheeled Commercial Waste Carts — 64 & 96 Gallon

The everyday container behind every commercial waste program.

A wheeled commercial cart is the workhorse you see at the back of every restaurant, office, and apartment block — the tilt-and-roll bin that staff fill through the week and roll to the curb or enclosure on collection day. Moulded from a single piece of injection-moulded HDPE, it has no seams to split and no steel to rust, so it shrugs off the daily abuse of being dragged, bumped, and left in the sun. We supply it in two sizes: 64 gallon (242 L) and 96 gallon (363 L), both built to the same dimensions standard that automated trucks expect.

Carts are how most businesses run source separation — one colour for landfill, one for recycling, one for organics — because they are cheap enough to buy several and light enough for one person to move. Where a front-load dumpster is a single large container serviced by a front-load truck, a fleet of carts is serviced by an automated side-arm lifter on a residential-style route, which is why they suit smaller commercial sites and multi-stream programs.

Specifications

64 vs 96 gallon, and built for automated lifters

Choose the 64-gallon cart where space or weekly volume is limited — a small office, a single suite, or a stream that fills slowly like organics — and where staff need a cart light enough to move when full. Step up to the 96-gallon for general waste and mixed recycling at a busier site, where the extra third of capacity means fewer trips to the enclosure and fewer overflow days.

Both sizes carry the moulded lifter bar and reinforced lip that standard automated side-arm trucks grab, so any hauler running carts in your city can service them without manual handling. The two ten-inch moulded wheels won’t go flat, the lid is hinged and attached so it can’t blow away or get lost, and the UV-stabilised resin holds its colour through Canadian summers and salt-belt winters alike.

Colours, branding, and delivery

Carts ship in stream colours — black or grey for landfill, blue for recycling, green for organics — so your program is legible at a glance and staff sort correctly without thinking. Hot-stamped labels and your business name or unit number can be added for properties tracking carts across addresses. Pricing starts at $240 per cart, and because they ship flat-packed by the pallet, delivery is quick and freight-efficient across all 60 cities.

If your site outgrows a cart fleet — when staff are wheeling six carts to the curb twice a week — it is usually time to consolidate into a front-load dumpster; ask our team and we’ll size the switch. For one-time renovation or cleanout debris, a rented roll-off is the right tool instead of any receptacle you own.

A few practical notes on running a cart fleet: HDPE carts last roughly ten years in commercial service, longer if they live in shade and are rinsed periodically, and a cracked body is replaced individually rather than scrapping the set. Order a spare or two on day one so a damaged cart is swapped instantly instead of leaving a stream without a container. If your municipality mandates organics, a 64-gallon green cart is usually the right starting size because food waste hits the weight limit long before it fills the volume — a 96-gallon organics cart often becomes too heavy for one person to move to the curb.
