Dimensions and types of garbage containers, drawings for the manufacture of tanks

The activity of human life is accompanied by the appearance and accumulation of waste, which must be disposed of for environmental and aesthetic reasons. Garbage containers are used for temporary storage. Containers offered by manufacturers have different volumes, designs and are made from durable materials. They are convenient for filling, storing and disposing of waste.

General classification of waste containers

Bins are used for the collection, storage and disposal of household and industrial waste. The purpose (type) is determined by the volume of the bin and the material of manufacture. Manufacturers offer containers for all types of waste, which makes it possible not to harm the environment, to mechanize the removal.

Containers are divided into types, based on:

• tonnage and volume;
• waste characteristics;
• raw materials from which they are made.

The choice of waste collection equipment depends on 4 parameters:

• composition of waste;
• the quantity and physical volume of the waste;
• location of the site for the installation of containers;
• the possibility of using special chargers.

The bins are made of corrosion and weather resistant materials.

By size

The use of the tanks depends on the amount (in liters or cubic meters) of waste generated over a certain period of time. The volume of the bin is determined by the volume and weight of the waste.

Different capacities

Indoor trash cans are 0.11 to 1.2 cubic meters in size. They are designed for the collection of solid household waste in apartments and private houses, offices, schools, universities, hospitals.

Garbage cans with a volume of 0.75 cubic meters are installed in houses with a garbage chute, next to apartment buildings and businesses. This is the most common standard tray standard.

Such tanks are convenient for organizing the collection of homogeneous waste:

• food;
• Plastic;
• glass;
• cardboard and paper.

Garbage containers used by utilities and waste disposal companies use 8 cubic meter containers. The dimensions allow the containers to be filled manually, which is convenient when cleaning urban areas.

This type is used in places where debris accumulates quickly, but larger containers cannot be accommodated. Garbage cans, in which you can accumulate solid household waste (MSW), construction, bulky waste (KGM), are installed in residential areas, on the territory of shopping centers, small industrial, construction enterprises. The maximum load capacity of an eight-cube container is 5 tons.

KGM of industrial and construction enterprises is transported with specialized equipment equipped with a "multi-lift" system. For collection and removal, 10-20 ton containers with a volume of 20 and 27 cubic meters are used.The 27 cubic meter bins have high sides for bulk waste disposal. Tanks of 30, 32 cubic meters are used for the disposal of large tonnage waste from construction sites, where there is enough space for their installation.

old sample

For waste disposal, traditional rectangular bins are used, with/without lid. The volume of containers can reach 1 cubic meter.

Euro bags

Euro containers have parameters from 1.1 to 1.3 cubic meters. The modern design (shape, color) of the bins fits into the urban landscape. The presence of a lid eliminates the impact of waste on the environment. Thanks to the castors, the Euro tanks are mobile and easy to maintain.

Bell

The bell-shaped Euro containers are designed for the separate collection of household waste. The volume varies from 2.5 to 5 cubic meters.

Boat

For the collection and disposal of construction and household waste in the private sector, ship containers with a capacity of 5 to 7 tons are used.

For rope or hook clamp

Large containers are equipped with special equipment for removal.

By material of manufacture

The tanks are made of metal or high-strength plastic.

Metallic

Metal containers can be used to collect all types of waste.

Advantages of metal containers:

• resistance to mechanical deformation;
• temperature differences;
• fire safety.

The service life of metal tanks exceeds the operational capabilities of plastic products. The lack of metal products is massiveness. A metal tank with a volume of 0.75 cubic meters (dimensions 0.98x0.98x1.05 meters) weighs 75 kilograms.

Plastic

Plastic containers are used in garbage chutes, in neighboring territories, during repairs, near commercial enterprises.

Advantages of plastic products:

• Modern design;
• lightweight;
• mobility.

The downside is a narrow scope. Plastic bins can withstand a weight of up to 600 kilograms and are not suitable for solid and bulky waste.

By color

Multi-colored bins are used for separate waste storage.

Simplified diagram

With a simplified scheme, 3 shades are used to distinguish the tanks:

• gray;
• Orange;
• blue.

The containers in which food waste should be placed are gray in color. Orange or blue bins are for other waste: paper, plastic bottles, glass, tin.

European scheme

In the capital and cities with more than one million inhabitants, the containers are painted in 6 colors:

• green - for glass containers;
• gray - organic;
• orange - plastic waste;
• blue - cardboard and paper;
• yellow - metal and tin;
• red - electronic parts.

For these purposes, plastic containers are used.

On appointment

There are containers for municipal solid waste, bulky waste and special uses. The last type of trash includes containers for bulk, chemical waste (eg mercury residues, paint, solvents).

By construction type

Depending on the availability of additional equipment, garbage containers are of 4 types.

Standard

Standard containers have a capacity of up to 1 cubic meter. They are rectangular metal containers, without lids or wheels.

With a lid

There are metal and plastic trash cans with a lid. The volume does not exceed 1 cube.

With wheels

Plastic outer tanks are available with 2 or 4 castors.

With wheels and cover

Euro tanks always have a lid and wheels.

Trash requirements

To collect waste, containers with certain characteristics are used:

1. Resistance to repeated mechanical stress during waste disposal. For this, the design provides for the required wall thickness and upper edge. Metal products must have reinforcing ribs at the corners to prevent deformation and loss of tightness.
2. Anti-corrosion properties.
3. Tight fit to the top edge, without deformations or gaps, if equipped with a cover.
4. The wheels must be able to support the declared weight of the waste during the life before use.

Containers should be equipped with areas for loading and unhindered disposal of waste.

Calculation of sizes and quantities

For residential areas, the number of containers is calculated by the waste disposal companies.

The main indicators are:

• the average annual volume of waste accumulation (in cubic meters) for an apartment building;
• dimensions of garbage containers;
• the frequency of waste removal during the day.

To calculate, use the algorithm:

1. The volume of 1 container is multiplied by the frequency of waste disposal during the day.
2. The average annual volume is divided by the resulting product.
3. The result is corrected (multiplied) by the coefficient of uneven filling with waste and the coefficient of validity.

The coefficients are const. : Knzm = 1.25; kg = 1.05. (The expiry factor takes into account the breakdown of containers and the need for replacement).
