Compacting litter bins

Their design and smart features make waste collection on the streets and squares of leading cities effective, efficient and cost-effective.

WasteMate compacting street bins are made of hot-dip galvanised steel with powder coating and stainless steel details.

They include an internal vertical press that compacts waste inside the container at a ratio of approximately 1:5 to 1:7.

These smart, connected and automated bins are powered by solar panels and can be managed remotely via the associated web platform.

Their height ensures comfortable, ergonomic depositing for everyone, including children, older people and people with reduced mobility.

Basic versions without a compacting press are also available in the same capacities, useful for glass or organic fraction collection.

WasteMate compacting bins feature fill-level detection; when full, the waste inlet closes and the web platform is notified that emptying is required.

Collection rounds are optimised as a result, cutting costs and reducing pollution.

For historic centres and other sensitive urban settings, see the guide Fill-level monitoring: data for better collection and the related solution page Smart waste collection for municipalities and environmental operators for constraints, service models and typical eco-island layouts.
