Twenty Years in the Making
For over twenty years, Brent Campagnolo watched the same scene play out on job sites across Santa Cruz County. Crews would rake leaves and debris into piles, then bend down to scoop them into buckets, tarps, or worn-out bins. They'd carry heavy loads to a truck, green waste bin, or tarp, dump them, and walk back to do it all again.
Lower backs gave out. Young workers developed chronic pain. Good employees left the industry. And traditional bins? They wore through their bottoms in months from being dragged across driveways and gravel.
The solution came from a simple observation: what if the wheels were on the scoop side? One tool that scoops debris off the ground and rolls it wherever it needs to go.
By placing wheels on the scoop side, the bin bottom is protected during scooping, the interior volume is maximized, and full loads roll effortlessly to the truck, green waste bin, or tarp. It sounds obvious now. It took twenty years of watching, thinking, and iterating to get here—and the LC-1 is now heading into production, shipping Q2 2026.
A scoop bin that rolls. Put the wheels on the scoop side, and you get a tool that scoops debris off the ground, protects itself while doing it, and wheels full loads to the truck, green waste bin, or tarp without carrying a thing.
