Because of the large capacity of Mold deep collection containers, the time between emptying are usually longer than for standard surface containers. This provides an increased economic benefit, as well as protecting the natural surroundings, as there are fewer transport intrusions.
Competition

Waste Management is North America’s largest waste disposal provider they offer a range of services: residential, industrial services and commercial. Waste Management offers traditional “above” surface waste disposal bins, whereas, the majority of Mold deep collection space is located below the surface. This allows for collection of more disposed materials before servicing.
Because Mold containers do to need to be serviced as often, Mold can pass servicing savings on to the customer eventually reducing their costs.
