The Curotto Can is the result of fifteen years of on-the-route
development. It has the highest productivity of any automated curbside
collection system. Per shift the Curotto Can services more homes than
either an ASL or a rear loader. The cab forward pickup both reduces
workman's compensation costs and allows the operator to easily see and
remove contaminants from the waste stream. The Curotto Can can be
ordered complete and installed on new front loaders or retrofitted to
existing units.

envisions for his invention.

• Paging Martha Stewart
So you redecorated the entire house, from the Asian-inspired living room
to the country French kitchen. But something’s still not right. Why,
it’s the garbage can liner, of course! You barely ever see it, but
just knowing that that sad white plastic bag with the yellow ties fails
