Introduction: Why More Malaysians Are Renting RORO Bins

Home renovations, major cleanups, or construction work often generate a lot of waste. The usual problem? Regular trash bins just aren’t big enough.

That’s why more and more people in Malaysia are choosing to rent RORO bins — a convenient, large, and flexible waste solution. But before you book one, there are a few important things to know about rental prices, bin sizes, and local regulations.


What Is a RORO Bin?

A RORO bin (Roll-On Roll-Off) is a large industrial-sized waste container that can be delivered and picked up directly at your location using a special lorry.
