JLW Services returnable bins for end-of-life tyres

JLW Services has developed returnable bins for the transport of end-of-life tyres. Available in 10.5, 18.5, 25, 38 and 50 m³ sizes, the bins comprise a heavy-duty welded cage that is dropped off at a tyre retailer, transport depot, mine site or council tip.

Usually, a tyre fitter takes old tyres off a vehicle and stores them until collection. They then have to be lifted onto a truck and, when the truck arrives at the recycling plant, taken off one at a time. The bin reduces double handling, as the end-of-life tyres go straight into the bin when they are taken off the vehicle. When the bin is full, it is collected and another bin is dropped off.

The bins can handle around 320 mixed car and four-wheel drive tyres for the 25 m³ version and 600 for the 50 m³ version. The 10.5 m³ version is designed for waste transfer stations and motorcycle shops.
