Automatic Dumpster and Container Lock Information for Recyclers

Improve your recycling program and increase your diversion rates with the environmentally friendly Serio-us Automatic Dumpster Locks

Studies have shown that locking commercial dumpsters increases recycling and diversion rates by eliminating unauthorized dumping. By controlling the waste stream, recyclables are protected from contamination by hazardous or non-recyclable waste.

We currently manufacture 15 lock models and have a continuing research and development program to ensure that we meet the future needs of the recycling industry. The graphic at the top of this page highlights the benefits of our side mount lock release kit. It locks your container without obstructing the recyclables slot opening and provides better security and protection for plastic container lids

Our locks for recycling containers and dumpsters are automatic and will open without driver intervention when the recycler truck lifts and dumps the container. The driver wastes no time unlocking manual locks while the truck idles, using additional fuel. That's hours and hours of truck exhaust fumes that are eliminated each year!
