PlatformsandLadders.com is committed to being your source for hoppers. Whether at the office, in a restaurant, or on a construction site, hoppers can be a great way to get the job done. They can be used for recycling purposes, neatly storing unneeded cardboard and packaging materials in an industrial storage bin to be brought to the recycling location at a later time.

Scraps of wood, metal, drywall, nails, or roof tear offs can be be collected in one spot, protected from the weather and safeguarding workers.
