The Half Dome Container is uniquely engineered with the sole use HDPE molded components, and 100% post consumer recycled plastic lumber walls. The lid is tilted to easily read the "molded in" graphics displaying any message the buyer wants to convey. An added advantage of the tilt is snow and rain run right off allowing continued use in any weather, and the mold in graphics won't peel away. All hardware including a locking mechanism are stainless steel. Its' companion is a 50 gallon "jumbo" trash container suitable for high traffic areas that require additional capacity between emptying. These attractive Recycle Containers or Recycle Stations are practical for Parks & Recreation, City Bus Stops, Zoo & Amusement Parks, Hotels & Resorts, University Campuses, Shopping Centers and HOA's.

Call them what you want; Recycle receptacles, recycle bins, trash recycle containers or Recycle Container Centers, they benefit the Earth, and the recycling effort needed for the environment. They are attractively designed, well engineered, and best of all they are made from recycled plastic components!

Our design, product engineering, and production team have a combined total of over 30 years in the Recycled Plastic Extrusion and Plastic Molding Industry. By combining Recycled Plastic Lumber and Rotational Molded components we are leading the way with innovative design and production techniques that combine maximum durability and minimal maintenance qualities to provide everyday usefulness for years to come.

Considering there is an estimated 1,000 year degradation for High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) in our landfills, it's no wonder the word "Recycle" plays such an important role in preserving the future of our environment. Typical HDPE post consumer waste that is reusable comes from discarded packaging products such as milk cartons, food containers,shrink wrap, detergent bottles and numerous toys & automotive parts.

By tapping into the leading Recycle Materials Suppliers we always endeavor to build our products with the latest innovation in UV Stable and widest color selections available. Understanding the unique engineering attributes of these materials, our design team brings the most innovative and up to date products to life while not under estimating structural limitations. With over 12 years in the Recycled Signs market segment we can boast of high profile Government Projects at the U.S., State, County and City Municipality levels.

We have consistently provided high quality low maintenance Signs & Site Amentities that provide a dollar added value to Institutions, Parks, Playgrounds, Golf Courses and Property Management firms around the country. Our design department uses the latest computer software and CNC routing technology to provide state of the art signage techniques and quality control performance to provide maximum cost efficiencies which affect the end user ...

We are listed with the California Department of Conservation, Division of Recycling approved vendor list providing Recycled Products on the State Recycled Content Products Directory at http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/Recyclestore/

We are a member of C.A.I. (Community Associations Institute), and build custom projects working with Landscape Architects (ASLA) and Project Managers from design to installation.

Material Benefits The resilient surface of HDPE is extremely low maintenance, generally needing only soap and water clean up or the aid of a power washer for "graffiti vandalized" signs. It never needs paint, staining or sealing. It won't chip, crack, warp, rust or peel. It has proven itself in brutal products such as motorcycle "dirt bike" gas tanks, snow mobile skid plates, kayaks, off road vehicle fender and body assemblies and your everyday trash can. Above all it's Environmentally Friendly, making us a Green Pro-efficient Company. So please remember to "Buy Recycled" and "protect our environment".
