Product code: Šiukšlių dėžė Foca
An elegant waste bin on a single leg combining three traditional materials – steel, cast iron and wood.
Foca does not sit on the ground with its whole body – it is raised on a single leg, so it is easy to sweep or clear snow beneath the bin, and the structure itself looks light. The leg and body are made of steel that is hot-dip galvanised on both sides, mechanically cleaned and powder coated; the lid is powder-coated cast iron, and an acacia wood element is fitted at the end of the leg. Inside is a 50 l galvanised sheet steel insert. Designed by Martin Starý, the bin matches the Foca benches and planter of the same series.

When ordering, specify whether the acacia detail should be oiled or natural. Oiled wood keeps its rich tone longer, while natural wood turns silvery grey over time. The leg should be firmly fixed to a concrete base with three M12 nylon anchors.
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.
