Waste containers – from a detached house to an apartment block
In this category you will find standard waste containers serviced by municipal waste collection vehicles: plastic containers with two or four wheels and galvanised steel containers for tougher conditions.
What capacity do you need
120 l – for a detached house, country house or small office.
240 l – for a larger family, café or small business.
360 l – when 240 l is too small but a four-wheel container is not yet needed.
770–1100 l – for apartment block courtyards, retail and manufacturing companies.
Colours for recycling
Yellow – for plastic and metal, blue – for paper, green – for glass, brown – for food and green waste, black – for mixed waste. We also have coloured lids and two-colour versions. As requirements may differ between municipalities, check them with your waste collector before buying.
Tip
To keep containers from taking up space and looking untidy, you can hide them in a dedicated storage enclosure – you will find a selection in the “Waste container storage” category.
How do I know what container capacity I need?
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:
120 l – for one or two people, a country house or a single recycling fraction;
240 l – for a family of 3–5, a café or a small office;
360 l – for a larger family or small business when 240 l is no longer enough;
770–1100 l – for apartment blocks, retail, manufacturing and service companies.
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.
Which container colour should I choose for recycling?
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.
Will the refuse truck empty the container?
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.
How many kilograms of waste can go in a container?
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.
Plastic or metal container – which should I choose?
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.
Can I choose a lid in a different colour?
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.
How should I care for a container so it lasts long?
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.
Where should I keep containers so the yard looks tidy?
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.
