Product code: 240 ltr juodas
A black container in the most popular size for mixed waste – for a family of 3–5 people or a small business. The plastic does not fade or deform in the sun.
240 litres is one of the most popular container sizes for private houses: it holds the mixed waste of a family of 3–5 people between collections and is not too big for the yard. The black container is intended for what is left after sorting: packaging unsuitable for recycling, hygiene products, sweepings.

Private houses, cottages, small apartment blocks, cafés, workshops and offices. Black is usually designated for mixed municipal waste, but container colours in your area are set by the waste management operator – check before buying. The container is also suitable for summer houses that are only occupied in summer.
Place the container on a firm, level base close to the entrance – this makes it easier for the collector to reach. If you want the lid to show the purpose of the black container, choose the versions with a red, yellow, blue or green lid.

The key factors are how many people use the container and how often it is emptied. Roughly, when waste is collected every 1–2 weeks:
If you are torn between two sizes, it is worth choosing the larger one – the lid of an overfilled container does not close and waste gets scattered.
The most commonly used colour coding is: yellow – plastic, metal and composite packaging, blue – paper and cardboard, green – glass, brown – food and green waste, black – mixed municipal waste, light grey – deposit packaging. A red container is handy for a separate stream, such as textiles or a company's internal recycling.
Requirements may differ slightly between municipalities, so check them with your waste collector before buying.
Yes. The 120, 240, 360, 770 and 1100 l containers we offer have standard dimensions and fixing elements designed for the lifters of municipal refuse collection vehicles. They are serviced by regular waste collectors.
Each container has a specified permitted load – you will find it in the “Technical data” table in the product description. For example, the permitted load of a plastic 240 l container is about 100 kg. Do not put construction waste, soil or stones in the container: they are much heavier than household waste, so the load may be exceeded and the wheels or axle damaged.
A plastic container is light, does not rust, is easy to wash and suits most household and recyclable waste. A galvanised steel container is heavier, but it does not burn and withstands hot ash and sharp or heavy waste, so it is chosen for workshops, manufacturing, boiler houses and places where plastic would wear out quickly.
Yes. We offer 240 l containers with a black body and a blue or green lid, as well as 120 l coloured containers with a body and lid in different colours. This combination is convenient when all the containers in the yard should look the same, with the waste fraction indicated only by the lid colour.
Wash the container with water and ordinary detergent, especially in the warm season – this helps avoid odours and insects. In winter, do not let wet waste freeze to the walls: line the bottom with paper or use bags. Keep the wheel brakes of large containers engaged so the wind does not push the container away.
Containers can be hidden in a dedicated storage enclosure – it protects them from wind, animals and unauthorised people, and the yard looks tidy. We offer storage enclosures for three 120 l, three 240 l and one 1100 l container – you will find them in the “Waste container storage” category.
