Abstract
The objective of this study was to compare the mechanical and perceived workload when working with a redesigned two-wheeled container and working with a standard two-wheeled container for refuse collecting. The three changes in the design of the container were a displacement of the position of the centre of mass in the direction of the axis of the wheels, a slight increase in the height of the handle and a slight increase in the horizontal distance between the handle and the wheel-axis, and an increase in the diameter of the wheels. The volume of the container remained 0.240 m
