Urban Ecological Trash Container

A system of modular trash containers whose innovation is that it is installed in the urban green poles that are in disuse in Mexico.

Long description

This trash container has 4 modules, each one can be identified thanks to the typographic and Braille system signaling that exists in each of their top cases. The innovation behind this system is that it can be installed in the urban green poles that are in disuse in Mexico, but this installing system also allows it to be installed around trees and palm trees so they can be used at forests, beaches, parks, zoos, ports, etc. It has a capacity of 50 liters in each case, 100 liters per module and a total capacity of 400 liters per system. Its shape and size is meant to catch the people’s attention so they can identify them, easily locate them, and make good use of this system without it passing unnoticed like other urban furniture systems that are on the streets. It also has ergonomic considerations that allows an easy and comfortable use for everyone, even for those people that give maintenance and cleaning to this containers. Each case is protected and closed to avoid vandalism. This security system works with latches that keep together the lower and superior casings and #7 security-grade locks that keeps them closed. The key to this locks are meant to be kept by the maintenance team that attends each container. Each casing is worked in a 14 gauge black steel sheet to be resistant but also light, and the interior is manufactured in a 10 gauge black steel sheet.
