What is The Pink Cart?
The Pink Cart is a part of Cascade Cart Solutions’ effort to Curb Cancer. The rolling refuse carts are available in three sizes—35-, 64-, and 96-gallon—and in one color—pink! You can choose from 35, 64, or 96-gallon carts at the online ordering page through Cascade Cart Solutions. We will give $5 of the cost of each purchase to breast cancer awareness. Carts are 100% recyclable, high-density polyethylene, and are designed to work universally with both semi and fully automated collection systems. All carts come with a 10-year warranty.
How much money goes to breast cancer awareness?
Each time a cart is purchased—directly through this website or through a municipal or private hauler—Cascade Cart Solutions will give $5 of the cost of each purchase to breast cancer awareness. Our goal is to get 100,000 Pink Carts on curbs across the country in the first year—creating $500,000 in funding for breast cancer awareness and research.
Who makes The Pink Cart?
The Pink Cart is a product of Cascade Cart Solutions—an industry leader in designing, developing, and manufacturing residential and commercial products for solid waste and recycling collections. The company is a division of Cascade Engineering, a company founded on the belief that business can be both profitable and socially responsible. The Pink Cart program is a part of that commitment.
How can I get my Pink Cart?
Cascade Cart Solutions offers The Pink Cart in three sizes (35-gallon, 64-gallon, and 96-gallon). You can get your Pink Cart through one of the options listed on the Get One page. Various sizes are offered by several haulers, distributors and retail stores across the country and all three sizes are available for purchase online with discounts on shipping for orders of 3 or more carts. If you have any questions about how to get your Pink Cart, email us info@pinkcart.com or call customer service at 800.968.2278..
How long will this program last?
The program lasts as long as your hauler stays in business. The Pink Cart has a 10-year warranty.
Can I buy one for our home and use it for other purposes?
Definitely! Use The Pink Cart for anything you like. You’d be surprised at the number of ways folks are using them. The 35-gallon size is especially perfect for storing your pet food, carting your laundry to the laundromat, or serving as a garden cart.
How can I encourage my hauler to support this program?
If your waste hauler doesn’t already offer The Pink Cart, contact us. We can help.
How can I share my photos?
Sharing is easy, so send us your best Pink Cart pics! When it comes to people in the photo, there’s just one request: no one inside the Pink Cart, please. It’s scary, and someone could get hurt.
