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.

• Rocket

to conform to your overall aesthetic just gnaws at you.
