On rainy days, there is stagnant water on the road surface, and the sludge stains become softened after being soaked in stagnant water, making the washing efficiency higher. With the blessing of rainwater, the washing distance of the washing truck can be increased by 30% to 50% compared with usual, which can effectively save water resources and clean up the "ash belt" on the road more thoroughly.

"After the rain, the peel box is cleaned with a simple wipe, just like a new one, which is both water-saving and convenient to clean." After the heavy rain, the peel box is free of dust and stains, and the sanitation workers only need to wipe it down to make the peel box look brand new.
