Container bodies are rotationally molded or concrete molded in one piece and have no seams. Molok containers of this type have 40% of the container body above the ground. As a result, a flood of rain on the ground cannot enter the container. ![molok](https://www.molok.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Molok_May2017/Images/csm_sadekuva_283802d01a.jpg?t=1521183697789&width=300&height=205&name=csm_sadekuva_283802d01a.jpg) *Container cover and filling lid provide rainwater protection.* ![Total costs of ownership of mixed waste - time span 20 years](https://www.molok.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Molok_May2017/Images/vertailu_suomi.jpg?t=1521183697789&width=820&height=560&name=vertailu_suomi.jpg) Total costs of ownership of mixed waste - time span 20 years - Because the structure is waterproof and the appearance attractive, no waste shed or roof is required. - As well as reducing the initial investment, no waste shed reduces the need for maintenance. Over a 20-year time span, a comparison of the total cost of ownership between deep collection containers versus surface bins results in up to 50% savings with deep collection. - With no waste shed there is no chance of waste spillage hiding in the supporting structure, the waste collection area stays cleaner and neater. - Both the main lid and filling lid can be locked. This prevents unauthorized access or dumping if they are positioned close to places of public access. ![Molok](https://www.molok.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Molok_May2017/Images/csm_luukku_kansi_lukittavissa_159060feab.jpg?t=1521183697789&width=300&height=205&name=csm_luukku_kansi_lukittavissa_159060feab.jpg) ![Only few moving and breakable parts](https://www.molok.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Molok_May2017/Images/csm_Molok27.7.-7720_c068492562.jpg?t=1521183697789&width=1000&height=667&name=csm_Molok27.7.-7720_c068492562.jpg) ## Only few moving and breakable parts - The structures are designed to a last long time in daily use. Complex moving parts are minimized. For instance, mechanical folding safety barriers are not needed. This ensures a long and reliable life cycle. - [Maintenance and cleaning services](https://www.molok.com/maintenance/) for added convenience.   [other benefits and principles](https://www.molok.com/benefits-and-principles/) **Molok Ltd.
