Buried trash containers. Buried in the ground. In Russia appeared the "best in the world" garbage cans Underground garbage container

In the "Ideas for the city" section, The Village talks about useful, convenient and simple unusual projects who invent and implement different cities world with one goal - to make people's lives better. This issue will focus on the underground waste collection system, which was introduced back in the 90s by the Finnish engineer Veikko Sally.

launch

The first underground waste container system was implemented by the Finnish company Molok Oy. An unusual solution for the collection of solid household waste suggested by the company's founder Veikko Sally.

Experimental buried containers began to be installed in various Finnish cities in the 90s. Citizens liked the possibility of underground collection and storage of garbage, because it had a number of advantages over conventional garbage containers and, importantly, made the city landscape more beautiful.

Promotion

Initially, two-thirds of the elongated garbage containers were underground. This unusual design made it possible to store large volumes of garbage, made it possible to empty less often. garbage bins, improved hygienic conditions and allowed more rational use of the territory.

Modern underground waste collection and storage systems look somewhat different: garbage containers are lowered into the mine on a special elevator, and only garbage bins remain on the surface, which operate on the principle of a conventional garbage chute.

More expensive system underground storage garbage is an improved version of the original technology. Here, the waste bin and the container are a single whole, thanks to which it is possible to achieve complete tightness, and system maintenance takes less time (no need to push and adjust the tanks). Plus, depending on the size, these bins can hold up to five times more trash than the traditional trash cans we see every day in our yards.

The most perfect system is the regional vacuum garbage chute, which works on the principle of pneumatic mail. Garbage is compacted in ordinary bins, then flies to a distribution point, after which it is taken straight to landfills. Garbage chutes of all houses in the district can be connected to such systems.

Result

The system created by Veikko Sally has a number of benefits:

Garbage removal is paid separately, so access to the underground waste collection system is sometimes available only with cards, this relevant for the private sector, which often has its own trash cans. In this case, only “authorized residents” can use the garbage chute.

To avoid “mutual responsibility”, a billing system is being introduced: each tenant pays only for what he threw out. In addition, the garbage bin can be equipped with scales and scanners for accurate weighing and garbage recognition.

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. Maxim Evgenievich and I decided to make such a system at Shchukino, to the delight of local residents. 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. The next system is 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! I dream of building one in Shchukino!

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 it pays off in 30 years, since hundreds of garbage cans do not need to be serviced daily.

13. The latest garbage fashion is trash cans on 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!

Want an even bigger junk future? Here it is! Garbage distribution system according to the color of the bags.

Everyday in metropolitan areas small towns and other settlements accumulate tons of garbage. Street garbage containers and bins located near institutions and residential buildings quickly overflow. They exude an unpleasant odor and spoil the view of the landscape, attract rodents and insects, becoming sources of dangerous diseases. What solutions exist today? A breakthrough in waste disposal technology was the underground waste collection system developed by Villiger from Switzerland.

How is garbage stored and collected in underground containers?

The Swiss company Villiger presented a conceptual solution for waste disposal. These are underground containers that are hermetically connected to waste bins located on the surface. Waste containers are lowered into and out of the shaft using a hydraulic lift. When they are full, they are removed using the TER control panel of the SPA series, loaded onto a garbage truck and taken to a waste disposal point.

Underground container systems are airtight, take up little space and hold 5-7 times more waste than traditional trash cans. Above-ground waste bins organically fit into the urban landscape, do not exude stench, and there is no falling debris around them. Tanks do not need to be opened and moved during the shipment of the contents, which makes maintenance as simple and cheap as possible. Access to them is carried out by cards, and its owner pays only for what he threw away.

Villiger Underground Disposal Systems are versatile and practical due to the fact that they are fully automated. They are convenient to use, even if you need to ship household waste or construction garbage directly from the truck body. It is enough to pay for the shipment with a card, after which the platform with a hydraulic lift rises, making it possible to unload the waste into the waste collection chamber.

Why underground waste bins are convenient?

Underground waste disposal systems are a versatile and cost-effective solution.

• The large capacity of the containers allows you to store a large amount of garbage in a small area.
• There can be several garbage collectors, depending on the amount of garbage on the site, up to 5 containers are installed.
• storage suitable for different kind garbage: organic waste, Paper, cardboard, PET containers and textiles.
• Waste does not harm people and the environment, which confirms the environmental friendliness of the storage system.
• The storage is hygienic, it is excluded that a bird, rodent or pet will accidentally get into the waste bin.
• The waste bin is easy to use, and its configuration does not spoil the urban landscape.

The storage facilities are airtight and protected from accidental ingress of moisture and precipitation, so they last longer and the garbage in them does not decompose.
Containers are safe to use and maintain. Their cover is not heavy and devoid of sharp corners. The locking mechanism ensures maximum fire safety of the contents and eliminates spillage.
If you buy a container for underground storage and disposal of waste, the costs will quickly pay off. Why? Due to the large volume tanks, which allows not only to store a large amount of garbage, but also to increase the interval for its removal.

Separate storage of waste - how is it arranged?

With an underground storage system, the problem is easily solved separate collection garbage, which significantly improves the environmental situation in megacities and small towns. Her form and appearance fits well into urban environment and allows you to improve the appearance of residential and industrial areas.

As a result, we suggest watching a video of the operation of such a system:

IN Kaluga region install garbage containers, from which nothing can be manually removed. New tanks are almost completely buried in the ground - only a cover with a hatch rises above the surface. The authorities refer to the European experience and assure that no one has come up with anything better yet.

The first modern garbage tanks were installed in the vicinity of Kaluga. They rise above the ground by only a meter, and two-thirds are buried. A special crane removes the accumulated waste from them - it takes out liners from the containers and cleans them, dumping the contents into a garbage truck. Thanks to their large capacity, they need to be emptied less frequently than conventional waste bins.

This is the first experience in Russia borrowed from Germany. It will significantly reduce the cost of garbage collection and its transportation to the city dump.

Multifunctional crane trucks, which the authorities also want to attract to collect large debris, are purchased at the expense of the regional budget. At the expense of the local treasury, new garbage sites will also be equipped and 240 new containers will be purchased. It is planned to install "deep" tanks in the suburbs - in the private sector and dacha cooperatives.

New containers already inspected Head of Kaluga Nikolai Polezhaev. He was especially pleased with the technology of removing garbage from the tank. “The use of such containers is modern and civilized,” the official said.

Similar containers have been used in Europe for 15 years. There they are divided by type of garbage: plastic is thrown into some, glass into others, etc. In Russia, such separation of waste is only in the future. The key advantage of in-ground containers is that the garbage in them is compacted under its own weight. And due to the fact that part of the tank is underground, the garbage does not heat up in hot weather, which helps to avoid unpleasant odors.

In turn, skeptics point out that, for example, if the lid of the tank is not closed, stray animals or homeless people who are looking for glass containers, clothes and food in the garbage can fall into it. However, experts argue that this is impossible due to design features special containers.

E-mine, it seems that we have no other problems in Kaluga, except for putting garbage into nano-tanks. People have nowhere to live, roads are broken, there is no gas in the villages, for that money was found in the budget for super tanks for garbage! Maybe this is a cool initiative, but not a top priority. Why did they not like the old tanks? Take them out regularly and everything will be fine. And if there are interruptions in the export of new tanks, then you will have to look for these containers under the mountains of garbage.

The container is undeniably beautiful. And now let's imagine such a life situation: someone has made repairs at home, and construction debris (pieces of tiles, bits of pipes, boards and old toilet bowls) he will quietly put into this super-meganan container. And in the morning an expensive crane will arrive to pull out a huge bag from this giga-urn, and what will happen? either a torn bag, or a crane that has fallen on its side, or both. Well, it's not practical at all! Yes, if ordinary garbage simply migrates into it (pass by the containers and evaluate what lies in them and nearby), this plastic bucket with a fire extinguisher will not live long.

Three new dumpsters have already been installed near the village Kosarevo, next to a spring popular with Kaluga residents. In the near future, new containers will appear in the village Nekrasovo. At the same time, in locality there is not only a garbage dump, but also no running water, street lighting, a store, a pharmacy, and suburban buses do not go there.

Actually cool stuff- look beautiful, aesthetically pleasing. In addition, they are environmentally friendly - the wind and dogs will not take away the garbage. I know the village trash cans - the wind blew and the garbage was blown all over the district, besides, there are rarely garbage trucks in the villages and waste accumulates in the mountains. And this is the solution to the problem.

A garbage container should be foolproof to the point of madness, how long did the old Soviet-era containers last? And the new cool ones on wheels? But of course, the new ones are prettier. But beauty should not be at the expense of functionality, and here we are seeing exactly that.

Each inhabitant of the planet produces 1 kg of waste daily, up to a ton per year. To store such an amount of garbage you will need strong and durable containers. Buried trash containers are in demand.

Garbage Danger

MSW (solid household waste) - objects of human activity that have become obsolete or have lost their characteristics over time. They are divided into biological, synthetic, petroleum products and metals. In Russia, 65 million tons of household waste are produced annually, about 400 kg per person.

For the collection of solid waste and its transformation is required a large number of waste containers, systems and recycling facilities. Due to the lack of development of the recycling industry in Russia, a large amount of waste is not processed, but is buried and remains in the ground. This is gradually killing the biosphere and is a danger to society.

TBO Disadvantages:

• poisoning of water, air, soil;
• release of vapors of heavy metals;
• increased development of infection and bacteria;
• reproduction of animals carrying viruses;
• progression of respiratory diseases;
• fauna poisoning.

With uncontrolled release of solid waste and lack of disposal, waste damages the environment and negatively affects people's lives.

Why regular trash cans are obsolete

The metal waste containers common in the CIS and Russia are already becoming obsolete and cannot cope with the amount of raw materials produced. Due to the aggressive environment of internal products, the usual garbage containers are quickly corroded by corrosion. This significantly reduces their service life to several years.

As the volume of waste increases, more metal bins are required, which take up valuable space, especially in major cities. With a lack of space or untimely cleaning of containers, waste is simply dumped on the ground near the garbage bins, polluting the environment and air.

Still tanks do not retain odors and harmful fumes, they are difficult to handle to maintain sanitation. In addition, they look outwardly unpresentable.

What to replace

Ground dumps in Europe and developed cities of Russia are being upgraded to underground garbage cans. These structures are durable and strong.

Buried containers for garbage - waste collection structures developed in 1991 in Finland. The construction resembles a frame well, more than half of which is located underground, and only 1/3 of it remains on the surface.

Underground garbage containers are designed for collection and storage of municipal solid waste in places large cluster of people. After filling, the contents are removed using special garbage trucks.

Internal equipment of containers

The design consists of a seamless container that prevents waste from leaking into the ground. Underground tank guaranteed for 10 years.

Inside there are bags for waste containers of in-depth type, consisting of polypropylene. They are two-layer and dense, the warranty period is 3 years. Mounted on a traverse (lifting mechanism). With the help of it, a quick replacement of garbage bags is made.

On top there is a cover that prevents the penetration of odors into the environment and protects against animals (rats, mice).

Advantages and disadvantages of containers

Such an innovative design has pros and cons, because people's opinions about such a structure are divided.

Underground trash is increasingly spreading in cities, thanks to the advantages:

• Low corrosion attack due to propylene content.
• Durability. Underground garbage cans serve for several decades, while the life of ordinary garbage containers is 1–5 years.
• Resistant to sudden changes in state environment. Therefore, containers are placed in hot countries and in places with extremely low temperatures. They can withstand temperatures up to 200 degrees.
• Space saving. One underground tank replaces 7 metal or 5 euro containers. The remaining space is used for the construction of playgrounds and parking spaces.
• The danger of garbage ignition is minimal, but at the request of customers, it is possible to equip an underground tank with an automatic fire extinguishing system.
• constant temperature eliminates freezing or sticking of waste, which makes it difficult to unload garbage.
• Aesthetics. Containers have a nice appearance compared to trash cans. They are also made different colors and blend in with the surroundings.

The only disadvantage of such tanks is the high cost.

Recessed waste bins reduce waste and emissions harmful substances. Such underground tanks protect the environment and make an invaluable contribution to the protection of the Earth's biosphere.
