Turn-Key — Reusables leases containers to the client. No upfront inventory cost; ongoing lease fee applies.

Client-Owned — Client purchases containers upfront. Higher initial cost, no lease fee.

Lost containers — Client-Owned only. If guests are accountable, loss cost is borne by them (via deposit or charge). If the client bears it, replacement cost is modelled in the upfront investment.
