Recycle collection made easy *

Dakota Industries specialises in the design and manufacture of steel containers for the waste industry. With its new state of the art manufacturing plant in Penrith, Dakota is able to manufacture high volume product in short lead times. Using modern manufacturing technologies, it offers quality collection bins at competitive prices.

Dakota’s standard product includes a range of front and rear lift bins, skips and paper cages, ranging in size from one to eight cubic metres.

Ballina Shire Council in northern New South Wales introduced Dakota’s bulk bins 12 months ago.

“We are using four different sizes for the collection of mixed waste and paper and cardboard at various commercial properties, including aged care centres, caravan parks, shopping complexes and manufacturing industries,” said Gordon Fraser-Quick, Council’s Services Manager. “We liked their sturdy design and that they are galvanised, which is important in coastal areas. The bins have proved to be low maintenance and cost effective.”
