According to DJProducts (Little Falls, MN), manufacturer of the battery powered WasteCaddy Dumpster Mover, the most common injuries in a trash room are related to maintenance personnel moving heavy dumpsters from the trash/compactor room to the pickup site. Insurance reports show that injuries range from simple back strain, to slip/fall and pinch/crush injuries, all the way to lacerations and broken bones. Maintenance personnel are able to improve productivity by 50%, and employees of any height, age or gender are now able to move these heavy dumpsters while reducing risk of injury, as well as reducing workers comp claims and insurance premiums, with use of the WasteCaddy. DJProducts will be exhibiting at booth #4252 at WasteExpo 2016 in Las Vegas, June 6-9. As part of the company’s “Win a WasteCaddy” promotion, each show attendee will find a key in their show bag. Attendees who bring their key to the DJ Products booth will have the opportunity to see if their key is the key that will start the WasteCaddy. One lucky attendee will win a brand new WasteCaddy.
