Periodically check the filling of the tray and if necessary proceed to empty it. Keep in mind that the weight
of the waste collected is proportional to the specific weight of the material swept. In the case of heavy
material such as sand, earth, gravel, etc. the tray should ideally not be filled more than 70%, otherwise it
may be difficult to empty.
