Product code: 120 ltr rudas
A brown container for vegetable peelings, coffee grounds, grass cuttings and leaves. The brown colour blends in well with a house fence or facade and does not stand out in the yard.
Food scraps and garden waste make up a considerable share of the weight of household waste. Collected separately, they can be turned into compost or biogas, whereas in mixed waste they only add to the landfill load and odours. The brown 120 litre container is designed for households that collect bio-waste regularly but do not have a large garden.

By a detached house or summer cottage, or behind the scenes at a café or canteen that generates little food waste. Your local waste management operator can tell you whether the brown container is used specifically for bio-waste in your municipality and who collects it.
In hot weather, keep the container in the shade and line the bottom with newspaper – it will absorb moisture and keep the bottom cleaner. If you have a lot of grass and leaves in summer, it is worth choosing the brown 240 l container.

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.
