About Toter
Toter was founded in 1960 and launched its first product in the 1960s: an automated cart system for curbside garbage collection. The company is headquartered in Statesville, North Carolina, and has spent more than 65 years refining the two-wheeled cart as the standard for municipal waste collection.
Since its founding, Toter has been recognized as the top manufacturer of the top-selling two-wheeled carts used for curbside automated waste, recycling, and organics collection by cities, private waste haulers, and recyclers. In 2007, Toter joined the Wastequip family, the leading North American manufacturer of waste handling and recycling equipment, strengthening its distribution and manufacturing resources.
Toter's carts are built through an Advanced Rotational Molding process that creates containers tougher and more durable than injection molded alternatives, with an average service life of 11 years, two years longer than competing brands, helping reduce carbon footprints by an estimated 17 percent. ChatMRO indexes the Toter catalog so buyers can search by cart size, lid type, or collection application.
