How do underground waste storage systems work? Recessed trash containers This is how they rise

It’s nice that every day life with us is getting better and more fun. The telephone is already capable of replacing huge computers, the robot rover takes pictures of itself on Mars, and tickets to space will soon be sold to everyone. And nothing happened to the garbage for a long time. Remember what outdoor bins look like in your yard? If in Moscow the situation with this is even more or less decent, then in the regions you cannot approach a garbage container without a gas mask. Containers in every possible way darken the life of neighborhoods - they smell bad, sometimes catch fire, homeless people rummage around there, rats breed, and the wind blows garbage all over the area. What to do? There should be no garbage containers! Today we will talk about underground waste storage facilities. Maxim Evgenievich and I decided to make such a system at Shchukino, to our delight local residents. Let's see what it is.

01. Garbage cans in my beloved Omsk look like this. I think this picture will not surprise anyone. Everyone is accustomed to the fact that in every yard there is a disgusting place that exudes a stench throughout the entire area.

02. What to do about it? All trash cans must be placed underground. There should be no disgusting dirty containers! There are several types of underground waste collection systems. This one is the simplest. Conventional bins are lowered down on a lift, and only a garbage receptacle remains on top, similar to a conventional garbage chute.

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

03. Everything is clean and tidy from above.

04. Nothing smells, nothing flows along the roads and nothing rots in the sun.

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

06. This is what the containers look like together.

07. So they rise.

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

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

09.

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

11. But the coolest thing is the district vacuum garbage chute! I dream of building one like this in Shchukino!

12. The horizontal system works on the principle of pneumatic mail. Garbage can be compacted in bins and flown into storage. All garbage cans in the area can be connected to such a system. Beauty. The garbage automatically goes to a distribution point, from where it is taken to landfills. You can also connect existing garbage disposals in homes to this system. The vacuum system requires serious investment - about 500 million rubles for 10,000 apartments, but it pays for itself in 30 years, since there is no need to maintain hundreds of garbage cans every day.

13. The latest garbage fashion is solar-powered trash cans! They compact waste and consume no electricity at all.

14. How do we pay for garbage removal now? Divided into 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 the 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 appearance of the street, they are easier to maintain, they do not smell, and do not attract homeless people and animals. The cost of such a system is from 400,000 rubles per tank. Moscow authorities spend approximately this much per year on asphalt maintenance in one yard. Garbage cans should decorate the yard!

Want more of a trashy future? Here it is! System for distributing waste according to the color of the bags.

Life does not stand still, something is constantly developing and improving.
People began to fly into space, phones can replace large computers, the Mars rover takes pictures of itself on Mars, but they can’t solve the problem with garbage.
Remember what kind of tanks are located near your house, and what kind of stench you can smell.
Maybe the situation in the capital is a little better, but in the regions it’s definitely not fantastic. Let's look at the underground waste storage facilities that I use abroad. We have a lot to learn.

Every day in big cities, small towns and others populated areas Tons of garbage accumulate. Street garbage containers and bins located near institutions and residential buildings quickly fill up. They emit an unpleasant odor and spoil the appearance 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 waste 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 receptacles 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 SPA series control panel, loaded onto a garbage truck and transported to a waste recycling facility.

Underground container systems are airtight, take up little space and hold 5-7 times more waste than traditional trash cans. Above-ground garbage receptacles fit organically into the urban landscape, do not emit a stench, and there is no falling garbage around them. The tanks do not need to be opened or moved while the contents are being shipped, making maintenance as simple and cost-effective as possible. Access to them is carried out using 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 are underground garbage disposals 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 waste 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 types waste: organic waste, paper, cardboard, PET containers and textiles.
The waste does not harm people and the environment, which confirms the environmental friendliness of the storage system.
The storage is hygienic, it is impossible that a bird, rodent or pet will accidentally get into the garbage receptacle.
The garbage disposal is easy to use, and its configuration does not spoil the urban landscape.

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

Separate waste storage - how does it work?

The problem is easily solved with an underground storage system separate collection garbage, which significantly improves the environmental situation in megacities and small towns. Its shape and appearance fits well into the urban environment and improves the appearance of residential and industrial areas.

To summarize, we suggest watching a video of such a system in action:

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

Danger of garbage

MSW (municipal solid waste) is objects of human activity that are 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.

To collect solid waste and transform it, it is required a large number of waste receptacles, 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 poses a danger to society.

Disadvantages of solid waste:

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

With uncontrolled release of solid waste and lack of recycling, waste damages the surrounding ecology and negatively affects people's lives.

Why regular trash cans are obsolete

Metal containers for waste, 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, conventional waste containers are quickly corroded. This significantly reduces their service life to several years.

As waste volumes increase, more metal bins are required, which take up valuable space, especially in large cities. If there is not enough space or containers are not cleaned in a timely manner, waste is simply dumped on the ground near trash bins, polluting the environment and air.

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

What to replace

Above-ground landfills in Europe and developed Russian cities are being upgraded to underground garbage bins. These structures are durable and strong.

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

Underground garbage containers are designed for collecting and storing solid household waste in crowded areas. Once filled, the contents are removed using special garbage trucks.

Internal configuration of containers

The design consists of a seamless container that prevents waste from leaking into the ground. The underground tank has a 10-year warranty.

Inside there are in-ground garbage container bags made of polypropylene. They are two-layer and dense, the warranty period is 3 years. Mounted on a traverse (lifting mechanism). It allows you to quickly replace garbage bags.

There is a lid on top 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, which is why people’s opinions about such a structure are divided.

Underground trash is becoming more and more common in cities due to its advantages:

Low corrosion due to propylene in the composition.
Durability. Underground garbage cans last for several decades, when the life of conventional garbage containers is 1–5 years.
Resistance to sudden changes in condition environment. Therefore, containers are placed in hot countries and in places with extremely low temperatures. They can withstand heating 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 risk of garbage fire is minimal, but at the request of customers it is possible to equip the underground tank with an automatic fire extinguishing system.
Constant temperature eliminates freezing or sticking of waste, which makes it difficult to unload waste.
Aesthetics. The containers have a nice appearance compared to trash cans. They are also made in different colors and will harmonize with the surrounding view.

The only disadvantage of such tanks is their high cost.

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