These are better than small waste skips for small amounts of waste, as you can buy them and avoid the hire charges.

Containers containing construction and demolition waste are collected and transported to diversion facilities via truck. Light and medium duty trucks are most commonly used for this purpose in the US and Canada. Trucks and containers of various types are mated to allow for maneuverability and modular interoperability.

Identification of loads on arrival at construction and demolition debris diversion facilities is an important step in ensuring materials are appropriately handled.
