Almond Trash Cart
Built for residential collection, made with less plastic.
Developed using recycled plastic and almond shell material, this cart is designed to perform like traditional bins while reducing conventional plastic content.
Currently undergoing real-world field trials in residential environments.
Limited trial units available
About the cart
Residential Cart Design
Built to function like standard residential carts used today, including compatibility with routine handling and collection processes.
Material Composition
Made from a blend of recycled plastic and almond shell material to reduce overall plastic use while maintaining durability and structure.
Field Performance Testing
Current trials evaluate handling, durability, weather exposure, and long-term appearance under everyday residential conditions.
Why Almond Shells Matter?
Every year, almond processing generates large volumes of shell material as a natural agricultural byproduct. Traditionally underutilized, these shells represent an opportunity to rethink how durable products are made.
By incorporating almond shell material into this cart, AllMade Materials is able to reduce reliance on conventional plastics while maintaining the performance expected from residential collection carts.
The result is a more thoughtful material approach—designed to work within existing systems while using resources more responsibly.
“We’re not trying to reinvent how carts are used. We’re rethinking the materials they’re made from.”
— Jeff Anderson, CEO, AllMade Materials
How the trial works
-
Submit a short request describing your operation and intended cart use.
-
Applications are reviewed based on trial fit, location, and available capacity.
-
Selected participants receive a trial cart for use within existing residential collection workflows.
-
Operate the cart normally and provide observations regarding handling, durability, appearance, and overall performance.
This is not a final production cart.
It is part of an active field trial, and performance, durability, and handling are currently under evaluation.
