Roof and tall building debris removal: a cost-effective alternative to trash bins

Removing debris from tall structures and high-rise buildings safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively is quite challenging. While metal trash containers may be suitable for removing debris at ground level at construction sites, they are too heavy, cumbersome, and bulky to lift on rooftops or to clean debris located several stories above the ground.

Once a bag is filled with debris and lowered to ground level, its contents can be quickly emptied into a traditional garbage container or truck by simply loosening a few straps.
