Saying "container sites", most often they mean two groups of objects:
- platforms specially built for transshipment and storage of shipping containers;
- sites where containers for household waste are placed.
In our article we will focus on the latter. A waste bin is a must in every community. Therefore, they are quite popular products. Officially, such facilities are called "container sites for the collection of solid waste."

When deciding on the placement of the required number of facilities such as container sites on their territory, housing and communal services enterprises currently have the opportunity to choose their design. This is due to the fact that manufacturers offer various technical solutions for the latter. The customer can make a choice based on a number of criteria, such as:
- type (open and closed);
- size (to accommodate two or more containers for the collection of solid waste);
- possibility of placing an additional bunker - drive;
- designinstalled containers;
- materials from which container platforms are made;
- appearance of the venues.
Installation technology and key features
The arrangement of container platforms of various types, in principle, is not too different. All of them have standard sizes and configuration. As a rule, any of them can be installed both on the ground and on a specially prepared (asph alted or concreted) territory. Most often, the structure is fixed by welding its frame to anchors driven into the ground (asph alt).
Basically, container platforms are arranged as follows: a frame made of a profile pipe with a section of 40x20 or 50x25 mm, on which sheets of galvanized corrugated board are sewn, supplemented in some structures with a metal mesh, having 50x50 cells. Another commonly used material is polycarbonate.
Container platforms equipped with doors are supplied by manufacturers with various decorative elements and rubber aprons along the bottom of the latter. The presence of doors favorably distinguishes platforms of this type. They look more aesthetically pleasing, fit well into the courtyard interior. Their contents are not scattered by wind, animals, birds and rodents. Such designs are safe in terms of fire.
At the request of the customer, manufacturers can produce the mentioned design of non-standard sizes and configurations.
Used on site waste containers are made from variousmaterials and, depending on the type of special equipment used for the removal of solid waste, may be equipped with rollers (roll-out containers) or not.
Recessed containers are becoming more and more common lately - they have an increased capacity compared to conventional ones and require much less space for their installation. The design of the latter ensures the safety of garbage in the bin for solid waste, so that the garbage does not spread throughout the yard.
Another innovation that container platforms are currently equipped with is the installation of canopies over the platform. They protect the containers from moisture ingress, and also perform the functions of an aesthetic order, blocking the view of the latter from the upper floors of residential buildings located nearby.
