Bouskoura – a square litter bin with a concrete base and steel top

The Bouskoura litter bin was created for the project of the same name – the Bouskoura Forest in Casablanca, Morocco. It is a square 50 × 50 cm bin, 105 cm high: the base is made of architectural concrete and the top of lacquered steel. It has 3 large openings, and the top tilts to one side for easy emptying and changing of the rubbish bag.

Tip

The Bouskoura bin can be combined with concrete benches and planters in the same finish for a coherent look across the public space.

Does a concrete waste bin need to be fixed to the base?

Usually not. Concrete waste bins weigh more than a hundred kilograms, so neither wind nor passers-by can move them. A level, firm base is enough – paving blocks, concrete or compacted gravel. You will find the exact weight of each model in the product's technical data.

How is a concrete waste bin emptied?

Waste falls into a removable galvanised sheet bucket or insert. You pull it out, empty it and put it back, without having to lift the concrete body itself. Models with a lockable roof or door are opened with a key, so unauthorised people cannot reach the bucket.

What capacity concrete waste bin do I need?

The capacity depends on how many people pass by and how often the bin is emptied. We offer models from compact ones suitable for a courtyard or terrace to large bins for squares and event venues. Product descriptions often state the capacity both with and without the bucket – calculate based on the one you will use.

How does a stone chip finish differ from smooth concrete?

A stone chip finish gives a natural stone texture, shows less dirt and goes well with paving blocks and granite. Smooth architectural concrete looks more understated and suits modern buildings and squares with smooth concrete benches. Choose according to the surrounding surfacing and other street furniture elements.

Can I choose the colour of the waste bin?

Yes, for many models you can choose a stone chip finish in different shades so that the waste bin matches the paving or façade. The metal roof is powder-coated, for some models in the RAL palette. Check the available shades when ordering.

When should I choose a model with a roof or ashtray?

A roof is useful in open areas: rain and snow do not get into the bucket, so waste does not get wet and smells less. An ashtray is useful near entrances, bus stops and smoking areas – cigarette butts do not end up scattered around. A lockable roof additionally protects the contents where the site is unsupervised at night.

How should I care for a concrete waste bin?

Concrete needs no painting – it is enough to wash the surface occasionally with water and a brush. Wash the bucket regularly, especially in the warm season, to prevent odours. In winter, make sure water does not collect inside the bin.

Do you deliver and install concrete waste bins?

Yes, we deliver and install throughout Lithuania – contact us on +370 652 32015, info@viskasmiestui.lt. Due to their heavy weight, concrete products are delivered and unloaded with lifting equipment, so plan access to the installation site in advance.
