Check out a list of models of ecological trash bins for selective collection made from recycled material

Ecological trash bins are the first items required for conscientious disposal. This is because ecological dumps facilitate the separation of garbage and when we do this separation, we facilitate the treatment of residues and rejects, reducing the chances of harmful impacts on the environment and on the health of life on the planet, including human life. Acquiring and making use of ecological dumps is a way to reduce the environmental impacts of consumption and production. The National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS) itself states that solid waste management is a task that must have the contribution of everyone: companies, consumers, governments and organizations.

• Understand the environmental impact of plastic waste on the food chain

So, have you thought about purchasing ecological trash for your home, condominium, business, school or community space? The bins in the image above are well-known ecological bins, which separate the types of waste by color (to learn more about this topic, take a look at the article: "Colours of selective collection: recycling and their meanings"). They have a back and forth lid, are made from recycled toothpaste tubes and you can find them in different sizes, with a capacity for 30, 50 and 100 liters of waste volume. But there are different types of dumps for different types of waste! Check out:

Mini recycling center

This mini recycling center is in the category of ecological dumps. It is made of recycled material (toothpaste tube plates) and works as a set of garbage cans for selective collection, as recyclable materials such as batteries, printer cartridges, clothing, electronics and even oil can be stored in it. kitchen. For the collection of the latter, the mini recycling center comes with a 50 liter drum and a funnel. And it's very easy to find a suitable place for this complete dump, as its measurements are one meter wide by 80 cm deep and 70 cm high.

Lidless ecological bins

The ecological lidded trash cans are also made from recycled toothpaste tubes and serve as multipurpose trash cans, which can be used to collect paper, cardboard, clothes, batteries, plastic, cartridges, batteries, among others. It stores up to 30 liters of waste and is available in measures: 29 cm wide, 29 cm deep and 44 cm high.

Ecological bins for cells and batteries

The eco-friendly cell and battery bins have recycled toothpaste and aluminum tubes as raw material, and are great alternatives for storing cells and batteries. They have the capacity to store up to 50 liters of waste and are available in dimensions: 25 cm long by 28 cm wide and 80 cm high.

Cells and batteries are classified by legislation as hazardous waste, as when improperly disposed of, they can cause significant damage through chemical reactions and explosions. Thus, it is important to place batteries in ecological garbage cans for selective collection (to know how to discard cells and batteries, take a look at the article: "How to dispose of cells and batteries?").

Ecological trash cans for lamps

Produced from recycled toothpaste tube plates, aluminum and activated carbon, the ecological lamp bins have storage capacity for up to 30 lamps measuring 1.20 m and 60 cm and are available in measures 25 cm in length by 30 cm wide and 1.25 meters high.

Ecological trash bins for selective collection of light bulbs are essential, as improperly stored and discarded light bulbs can cause damage to the environment and health. Fluorescent lamps, once broken, release mercury gas, a substance highly harmful to all organisms (learn more about this topic in the article: "Mercury, cadmium and lead: the intimate enemies present"). Halogen lamps, on the other hand, do not contain mercury, but they can cause injuries to collection workers (if the glass in their composition breaks) and pollute the environment if they are incorrectly disposed of.

Vegetable oil collector

The oil collector, also produced from recycled toothpaste and aluminum tubes, is a discreet product and comes with a 50 liter drum and a funnel attached. It has a storage capacity of up to 30 kg and is available in dimensions 40 cm wide by 53 cm deep and 80 cm high.

Used oil contaminates thousands of liters of water if disposed of incorrectly. However, from the correct disposal through selective collection, it is possible to make soap, paints and even fuel, depending on the type and state of the oil.

Eco-friendly trash cans with lids come and go

Ecological bins with on and off lids (also made of recycled toothpaste tubes and aluminum) are other alternatives in the bin category for multipurpose selective collection. These types of trash can store paper, magazines, newspapers, plastic, aluminum, cardboard, glass, iron, among others; and have the capacity to store up to a thousand liters of waste volume. The ecological trash bins of this modality come with wheels, castors, a rear door with clasps and a raffia bag.

Ecological bins for non-recyclables

Green dumps also need to store waste that is not recyclable. However, the possibility of materials being recyclable depends on economic feasibility, technologies available at the time, forms of storage, among other factors. In the case of food, for example, there is the possibility of recycling being done at home through composting (to learn more about this topic, take a look at the article: "What is composting and how to do it"). On the other hand, when recycling is not possible, you can use ecological non-recyclable dumps. Like the other dumps mentioned in the article, the ecological non-recyclable dumps is made from recycled material and is available in the following capacities:

• 290mm x 290mm x 690mm - 30 Liters (weighs 10 kilos)
• 290mm x 290mm x 920mm - 50 Liters (weighs 11 kilos)
• 390mm x 390mm x 990mm - 100 Liters (weighs 12 kilos)

Implement ecological dumps in the condominium and get financial return

Have you ever thought that deploying ecological dumps in the condominium, in addition to contributing to the environment, can bring financial returns? That's right. Understand this theme better in the articles: "Selective collection in condominiums: how to implement it", "Solutions for selective collection in condominiums", "Basic guide: Selective collection in condominiums".
