Garbage cans in the yard often cause disputes between residents, the management company, and shipping organizations. An unfortunate location, lack of fencing and an inconvenient entrance turn an ordinary playground into a source of unpleasant odor and dirt. Proper organization of the waste collection site solves these problems in advance.
Choosing a place for a playground
Before designing, determine where the object can be placed without violating the requirements of sanitary standards and landscaping rules. Orgplex experts recommend starting with an analysis of the territory: the distances to the windows of houses, playgrounds and recreation areas, as well as the possibility of a garbage truck entrance. It is better to clarify the specific requirements in the current regulatory documents for your region.
The place should be convenient for the residents, but not interfere with them. It is ideal when the path from the entrance to the tanks is short, and the site itself is hidden from view by greenery or facades. If the yard is small, it is sometimes more reasonable to move the site to the border of the territory with a convenient entrance.
Fence and section construction
A typical solution is a metal fence with several sections for containers for various purposes. For elements of complex shape, the blanks are made from a sheet, and then they are given the desired profile, for example, on a CNC press.

The fence protects the tanks from wind and stray animals, prevents debris from flying around and makes the site tidy. Enclosed structures with a roof are especially important where residential buildings are nearby, and residents want to reduce the smell and visibility of waste.
Base and entrance
The site should stand on a flat and solid foundation, usually concrete or asphalt, with a slight slope for water drainage. The soft ground quickly collapses under the wheels of containers and machinery, and turns into mud in the rain.
The entrance for the garbage truck is made with a sufficient turning radius and a margin in width. If the entrance is narrow, the car will not be able to approach the site closely, and employees will have to manually roll the tanks, which slows down the removal and damages the coating.
Separate collection and additional sections
If a separate collection is planned in the yard, separate sections for plastic, glass, paper and mixed waste are provided on the site. Labeling with color and pictographs helps residents to sort things out quickly, which means it reduces the proportion of improperly disposed waste.
Additionally, it is possible to provide a compartment for bulky garbage, a canopy for protection from precipitation and lighting. Lighting is especially important at night: it makes the use of the site safer and reduces the likelihood of
