Container sites for garbage

Saying "container sites", most often mean two groups of objects:

• Platforms specifically designed for transshipment and storage of transport containers;
• Areas where household waste containers are housed.

In this article we will talk about the latter. Container area for garbage is needed in any locality. Therefore, they are quite demanded products. Officially, such facilities are called "container sites for collection of solid waste".

Kinds

Deciding on the location on its territory of the required number of facilities such as container sites, utilities are now able to choose their design. This is due to the fact that manufacturers offer various technical solutions to the latter. The customer can make a choice based on a number of criteria, such as:

• Type (open and closed);
• Size (for placing two or more containers for collection of solid waste);
• The possibility of placing an additional storage bunker;
• The design of installed containers;
• Materials from which container platforms are made;
• Appearance of sites.

Installation technology and basic characteristics

The arrangement of container sites of various types, in principle, is not too different. They all have standard sizes and configurations. As a rule, any of them can be installed both on the ground and on a specially prepared (asphalted or concreted) territory. Most often, the construction is fixed by welding its frame to the anchored in the ground (asphalt).

Basically, the container platforms are arranged as follows: a frame made of a profile pipe with a cross-section of 40x20 or 50x25 mm, onto which sheets of corrugated galvanized sheets are added, supplemented in separate designs with a metal grid having 50x50 cells. Another frequently used material is polycarbonate.

Container platforms equipped with doors, manufacturers are equipped with various decor elements and rubber aprons on the bottom of the latter. The presence of the doors distinguishes the platforms of this type. They look more aesthetically pleasing, they fit well into the courtyard interior. Their contents are not scattered by the wind, animals, birds and rodents. Such structures are fire-safe.

At the request of the customer, manufacturers can make the above design of non-standard sizes and configurations.

The garbage collection containers used on the sites are made of different materials and, depending on the type of special equipment used for the export of solid waste, can be equipped with rollers (withdrawable containers) or not.

In recent years, containers are becoming more and more widespread: they have an increased capacity, compared to conventional ones, and require much less space for their installation. The design of the latter ensures the safety of garbage precisely in the tank for solid waste, so that garbage is not spread through the yard.

Another innovation, which is currently equipped with container platforms, was the installation of awnings over the site. They protect the containers from moisture ingress, and also perform the functions of an aesthetic order, closing the view of the last from the upper floors of residential houses located next to each other.
