WHY SHURGREEN
Susa Wash Open Top Tote Cleaning System

A critical part of ShurGreen’s holistic recycling process includes the on-site totes program. These durable totes allow segmentation of products in a leak-resistant, stable, and 100% washable container that helps to ensure pathogen reduction and uniform application of antimicrobials through a fully automated cleansing process. This entire circular process is applied prior to every delivery. 

ShurGreen partners with the Susa Corporation (the Industrial Parts Washer Division of Dunnage) out of Fraser, Michigan to customize and install a Wash Open Top Bin Cleaning System.
