The Moray Council's X25

Ally Gordon - Monitoring Assistant (Recycling), Moray Council
The Marco X25 trailer that we use has proved to be well worth it's cost. The trailer is an ideal size for towing behind a small van and pitching up in many different locations. The weight of the trailer also means that it is light enough to be man- (or woman-) handled into position, and the levelling and stabilising of the trailer is quick and easy. Its size, when fully opened, means that it only takes up the space of one car parking slot and this makes it a lot more acceptable for using in supermarket car parks, school playgrounds, communal parking areas, etc.

The external decor of our trailer is excellent. It is easily recognisable by members of the public and promotes the methods we use as a Council for recycling.

The internal design of the trailer gives full flexibility and ease for changing displays. This means that posters and information on whatever campaign we are promoting or advising on can be changed within minutes, thus ensuring that the public is always attracted to see what is being promoted. The use of the portable generator is a good extra. It ensures we have sufficient lighting during the winter months. Also the electric points enable the use of additional lighting, (Christmas lights strung around the open doors are a good way of drawing attention), heating (using a portable electric heater), boogie box, again a good way of attracting attention.

All in all, we find the Marco X25 to be a compact, fully flexible aide which enables us to reach the public in many more places than a larger trailer would, using minimum resources and manpower.
