How do you calculate the weight in my Household Bin(s)?

  • Our crew place the bin(s) on the lifters at the back of the truck.
  • The weighing system on the truck takes a note of the weight in the full bin when it is placed on the lifter.
  • The contents of the bin are then emptied into the back of the truck.
  • The weighing system on the truck takes a note of the weight in the bin after the contents have been tipped into the back of the truck.
  • The difference in these 2 weights equates to the weight of the contents that were emptied into the back of the truck.
  • This is the weight that will be registered against your bin lift on the day.
