Buried garbage containers have long been used in Europe and the CIS. They are convenient and cost effective. Today, not only megacities, but also small regional centers in the Russian Federation are actively introducing this useful eco-construction into our lives.

In-ground containers - a modern waste collection system

The decision to purchase tanks recessed type for hard household waste rational and beneficial.

Advantages of the underground waste collection system:

  • transport costs are reduced;
  • the wear resistance of the container is extended;
  • the amount of stored garbage increases while maintaining the same dimensions of the trash can;
  • do not require the installation of additional elements (canopy, fence, platform);
  • there is no smell;
  • design appeal;
  • 100% tank cleaning;
  • dangerous moments are excluded (heavy cover, broken wheels, puddles from household waste, sharp corners).

The container is a "glass" with a lid that closes tightly. Diameter 2 meters and 3 meters high. The installed tank rises above the ground by one and a half meters. At a height of 1 meter there is a window for a bag for a buried container. According to the buyer's requests, the color of the container varies.

Deep containers are adapted to any climate. The tight-fitting lid keeps rain and snow out. Prevents the spread of waste, the contents are inaccessible to birds and animals.

An underground waste container provides storage for household waste. It is characterized by the absence of icing in winter and a decrease in the growth of microorganisms in summer.

There is a special bag in the tank in which waste is accumulated and stored. It provides the ability to quickly empty the trash can with the participation of a garbage truck with a manipulator. The 11-meter boom allows you to work independently of the machines parked nearby.

The economic effect of an underground reservoir of a buried type

The main point when choosing an underground garbage tank is efficiency. The specially designed tank holds 5 m3 of municipal solid waste in a footprint of 2 m3, which significantly saves space in the yard of a residential building.

In-ground waste containers are much more economical than ground ones in installation and use:

  • replaces 5 conventional garbage cans (tank volume reaches 5000 l);
  • does not require additional mounting elements;
  • number service personnel reduced by 3 times (1 driver is enough);
  • the number of required equipment is reduced by 2 times;
  • fuel costs are reduced by 40% (service does not require frequent trips);
  • does not require periodic painting and welding;
  • durability (about 30 years).

The saved space in the courtyard of the house can be used for parking, a playground, a flower bed.

Pros and cons of new generation containers

Recessed have positive and negative points.

Description of the undoubted advantages:

  • durability;
  • does not rust;
  • resistance to natural conditions;
  • saves space;
  • the built-in fire extinguishing system prevents fire;
  • the same temperature inside the tank does not allow household waste to stick together and freeze, cleaning is facilitated.

The only downside, but a very significant one, is the price.

Why regular trash cans are obsolete

Metal garbage cans are outdated and cannot withstand the amount of household waste that is disposed of annually. Garbage cans quickly become unusable due to corrosion, the aggressive environment of products. Requires replacement every 2 years.

The volume of household waste is growing, and with it the number of above-ground garbage cans, which significantly reduces the space in the yards residential complexes. With overfilled tanks, debris accumulates around, pollutes the air and environment. The process of rotting products contributes to unsanitary conditions.

Europe and part of Russia are gradually moving to deep waste bins, replacing landfills. Structures are durable, strong and safe for people.

Garbage trucks for underground dumpsters

Buried bins for MSW are more economical and convenient than conventional metal bins. They have a number of advantages: they protect the contents from animals, birds, increased size, without compromising the occupied area. But they are served by special equipment.

The deep container garbage truck is equipped with a manipulator for raising and lowering the garbage container with a mass of 2,500 to 5,000 kg. This greatly facilitates the collection and disposal of garbage. Allows you to carry out all manipulations for the transportation of solid waste by one person, in narrow courtyards of residential areas and with a large number of parked cars.

More recently, Russia has been buying garbage trucks equipped with CMU to work with buried garbage cans abroad. Today, the car repair plant in Ryazhsk produces such equipment.

Ground for buried containers

A site for a pit for a buried garbage tank is prepared in advance. Check for the absence of telephone and electrical wires, drainage, sewer and water pipes. The temperature regime is observed, at temperatures below + 5С ° - they are not installed.

Container installation

Before starting to install the underground container, remove the cover and other parts. In the technological holes that are at the bottom, thread 4 pipes 64 mm in diameter, 800 mm long, wrap them with wire between each other.

Installation order:

  1. Lower the reservoir into the hole. By rotating, drown the pipes in the sand (gravel) to a special level. Pack each lintel of the installation pipes with polyester sandbags.
  2. Install a lid with a bag on top of the tank.

Do not fill the pit with wet soil.

Fill the flange with concrete, marble chips, paving slabs or lay with concrete blocks about 10 cm thick.

SanPin norms when installing a garbage container for solid waste

The accumulation of garbage is accompanied by an unpleasant odor and the presence of a large number insects and rodents.

SanPin - a document indicating the norms for the installation of garbage cans. The rules say how to install trash cans in residential areas and how often to clean them.

According to the current SanPin, containers should be emptied daily, located 20-100 meters from parks, places with a large crowd of people, located on a specially equipped site, protected by a 1.5-meter fence on three sides, and well lit at night.

What accessories can be added to containers

The garbage container is constructed from a tank without seams, so that there is no leakage from the waste into the soil. The tank is guaranteed for 10 years. There is an insert in the tank, which is sewn from polypropylene. It has a 3 year warranty. The liner is mounted with a lifting mechanism, due to which it is quickly replaced.

It's nice that every day our life is getting better and more fun. The phone is already able to replace huge computers, the robot rover takes pictures of itself on Mars, and tickets to space will soon be sold to everyone. And only garbage for a long time nothing happened. Remember what street tanks look like in your yard? If in Moscow the situation with this is even more or less decent, then in the regions one cannot approach a garbage container without a gas mask. Containers darken the life of the districts in every possible way - they smell bad, sometimes catch fire, homeless people dig there, rats breed, and the wind spreads garbage throughout the district. What to do? Waste containers should not be! Today we will talk about underground garbage storages. Let's see what it is.

01. Garbage cans in my beloved Omsk look like this. I don't think this picture will surprise anyone. Everyone is used to the fact that every yard has a disgusting place that exudes a stench throughout the area.

02. What to do with it? All garbage cans must be removed underground. There should be no disgusting dirty containers! There are several types of underground waste collection systems. This one is the simplest. Ordinary tanks on the lift go down, and only the garbage receptacle remains on top, like a conventional garbage chute.

When a car arrives, the containers are lifted and emptied. It looks something like this:

03. From above, everything is clean and tidy.

04. Nothing smells, nothing flows along the roads and does not rot in the sun.

05. Yes different types receivers, for example for glass, paper or household waste.

06. This is how the containers look in the complex.

07. So they rise.

08. Next system harder, but better. Here the receiver and the tank are a single unit. The advantages are obvious - the system is completely sealed. It is serviced faster - no need to push the tanks, nothing falls out. And most importantly - it is many times more capacious than one tank. Depending on the size, such an underground tank can be up to 5 times larger than a conventional container. And this means that you can take out the garbage less often.

The container can be large - the garbage is automatically pressed there.

09.

10. Access to the tanks can be made by cards so that only the residents of the house can use them. This is necessary in cases where garbage collection is paid and residents do not want to pay extra.

11. But the coolest thing is the regional vacuum garbage chute!

12. The horizontal system works on the principle of pneumatic mail. Garbage can be pressed in tanks and fly away to storage. All waste bins in the area can be connected to such a system. Beauty. Garbage automatically goes to the distribution point, from where it is taken to landfills. Also, existing garbage chutes in houses can be connected to this system. The vacuum system requires serious investments - about 500 million rubles for 10,000 apartments, but pays off in 30 years, since hundreds of garbage cans do not need to be serviced daily.

13. Last peep junk fashion are trash cans solar panels! They compact the garbage and do not consume electricity at all.

14. How do we pay for garbage collection now? Shared by all apartments. Access to the tank can be by cards. You can connect a billing system to the tank and then each resident of the house will pay only for what he threw away! The system can even weigh trash and rate it! This is the garbage future!

The advantages of underground storage facilities are obvious: they take up little space, they do not spoil the view of the street, they are easier to maintain, they do not smell, they do not attract homeless people and animals. The cost of such a system is from 400,000 rubles per tank. Approximately so much the Moscow authorities spend a year on maintenance of asphalt in one yard. Garbage cans should decorate the yard!

Abroad, underground storage of household waste has long become commonplace and the phenomenon is quite colorfully described by Varlamov: http://zyalt.livejournal.com/659286.html I will only add technical details and personal observations.
There are many ways to implement this idea, from simple to very sophisticated. However, technical excellence does not always mean manufacturability - often the problem can be solved with less blood and financial investments. Consider several categories according to the degree of their mechanization.

1. The first option provides for the presence of a lifting device that raises the container to ground level. In order not to supply electricity to each glass, the drive is sometimes organized by pneumatics from a garbage truck.

2. Maybe, of course. This is the opposite, in which the container does not have any active elements.

All the work is done by the hydraulics of the garbage truck. Such containers can be recognized by the mount for the manipulator (sometimes hidden inside the trash can):

The video schematically shows the principle of their work:

The containers open from the bottom, which I see as the main drawback - the garbage will leak and contaminate the glass.

3. In a compromise version, only the lid is equipped with a drive (in the most budgetary case, it is folded back manually).

Installation of buried containers for collecting garbage. Ural56.Ru found out the pros and cons of new devices for the city.

The buried container is a tank with a bag inside. Two-thirds of it is dug into the ground, and a small part with a lid remains on the surface. Such a container can have a capacity of up to 5 cubic meters (about 7 standard ground tanks). A special machine with a loading device takes out a sealed bag made of dense “fabric” from it and pours its contents into the body.

Benefits of buried containers

Manufacturers note such positive sides buried containers like:
  • saving space in yards (most of it is hidden underground, and the above-ground part takes up less space than a few conventional tanks);
  • large volume of containers;
  • observance of constant temperature regime due to being underground (according to their data, garbage does not freeze in winter, and does not deteriorate in summer).
Residents of Orenburg, where such containers have been installed in many parts of the city for several years, also note positive, practical aspects use of such devices. According to them, through a small hatch, indeed, less unpleasant odor comes out than from open, ground tanks. And the cover does not interfere with the spread of garbage by animals, birds and people without certain place residence.

However, the fact that the temperature in them is always positive is our interlocutor, a resident regional center refuted. For example, he cited a situation where, after burning such a tank and, accordingly, extinguishing it in winter, a block of ice turned out to be in the bag.

Minuses

Buried containers in Orenburg, 2018


To install such containers, certain conditions are required, so they cannot appear anywhere. At a minimum, in order to dig a sufficiently large tank into the ground, the site must be free from all communications, including pipelines and cables.

Buying such containers is quite an expensive pleasure. They are several times more expensive than conventional tanks.

In addition, special vehicles are needed to remove garbage from them. There are no such people in Orsk yet. And the situation with garbage collection, which is developing in the city today, causes concern - now the operator cannot even cope with the removal of waste from ordinary containers if he has cars. Will there be even more problems with the advent of new tanks, and will the responsible organization have the necessary equipment?

Bulky trash

And of course, we must not forget about large-sized garbage. It is impossible to put large waste into a buried container, and the hatch for dumping garbage is not very large. Orchans are accustomed to putting everything that can fit into above-ground tanks. Here the townspeople will have to retrain.

IN Orenburg collection bulky waste organized at special sites, near buried containers. Where there are no designated places, garbage is piled right next to their above-ground parts. How this will be organized in Orsk, no one says yet.
