BACKGROUND
Our initial 19,000 96-gallon Toter containers were purchased in 1996 from Toter, Inc. at a unit price of $40.59 per
container. Replacements and additions have been needed due to increase in customers in the north Port Arthur area,
Pleasure Island, and small businesses, as well as damage and thefr. ,
The City of Port Arthur was provided eight (8) Schaefer carts for testing. These carts are heavier, making them less likely
to blow over. The lids are more sturdy and seal-better than the Toters. The 427 units constitute one truck load.
The Schaefer carts also came with a ten (10) year warranty. .
