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.
🟢 Common Uses:
Clearing out old homes or post-flood cleanup
House or office renovations
Small to medium-scale construction projects
Disposing of old furniture & bulky waste
