SideArm® is designed specifically for round garbage bins with side handles. These bins do not have a rear hinge, so they require a different locking solution than standard wheelie bins.
SideArm® attaches easily to side-handled bins, keeping lids closed and helping prevent animals, wind, and overfilled containers from creating a mess.
