Product code: KO.DA
A stainless steel outdoor waste bin with distinctively rounded corners and a choice of sides – acacia, recycled plastic or stainless steel.
Daku was created by designer Petr Starý, who aimed for a simple shape with characteristic, strongly rounded corners. The body is made from 2 mm stainless steel sheet, the lid from bent 2 mm stainless steel sheet, and a galvanised steel sheet inner container is fitted inside. The side panels can be chosen in acacia wood, recycled plastic or stainless steel, so the same bin suits both natural and strictly modern architecture.

City squares and pedestrian streets, parks, office and shopping centre approaches, and the grounds of schools, universities and public institutions. The leg version is designed for sloping sites, and the roof covers the contents from above.
In your enquiry, state the required capacity (50 or 100 l), the side material, whether a roof is needed, whether the bin will stand on the paving or on a leg, and the preferred RAL colour. If waste needs to be sorted, choose Daku Separ with 2–4 containers.
Depending on the model, the waste bin is bolted to the paving with anchors, mounted on a leg or stand, or its support is fixed into the base. Metal bins are lighter than concrete ones, so in public places it is worth fixing them so that wind or passers-by cannot tip them over. Choose anchors according to the base type – paving blocks, concrete or stone paving.
Galvanised and powder-coated steel is well protected against corrosion, and the colour can be chosen to suit the surroundings. Stainless steel is unpainted, keeps its appearance for a long time and suits prestigious and damp locations. In this category you will also find durable plastic models that are lightweight and withstand UV rays and frost.
Yes. Many steel models are powder-coated in the RAL palette, so the colour can be matched to other street furniture or a corporate style. Some models are made in a standard colour – it is stated in the product description. Specify the colour you want when ordering.
Lockable doors protect the inner bucket from unauthorised people, vandals and animals, and only service staff can open them. This is especially useful at bus stops, on streets and in other places left unsupervised at night. You will find whether a model has lockable doors in the product's technical data.
Most models have a removable galvanised sheet bucket – you pull it out, empty it and put it back. Some models have a bag ring instead of a bucket, so you just need to change the bag. This saves service staff time.
Yes, the category includes models with an integrated ashtray, a rain roof or both. An ashtray suits entrances, cafés and smoking areas, while a roof protects the contents from precipitation. For some models the ashtray can be chosen as an option.
The wood finish is made of impregnated and painted softwood or acacia. Clean the surface regularly, and when the coating wears, renew it with protective paint or oil. Washing the metal frame with water and a mild detergent is enough.
