Vila Real de Santo António installs Green Bee underground containers

Sopsa has installed 21 Green Bee underground containers, produced by Lasso, in Vila Real de Santo António, in the south of the country, as part of a municipal project aimed at renewing and strengthening the underground equipment for urban waste collection.

The municipality installed four eco-islands to facilitate selective waste disposal by citizens. These recycling points include five underground containers, ranging from 5 m³ to 2 m³, for the collection of mixed waste (equipped with Masterbag lifting bag and leachate drain), plastic and metal packaging, paper and cardboard, glass waste (with reinforced bag), and bio-waste (with Masterbag and leachate drain). It is worth noting that all containers are equipped with a foot pedal for greater functionality and convenience when opening the lid.

“These are the first Green Bee containers we have installed in the historic area of Vila Real de Santo António, where they fit perfectly thanks to their innovative design and aesthetics, and their reduced visual impact. These containers enable more efficient urban hygiene while simultaneously reducing collection trips, due to their underground waste storage capacity,” says Maria João Ferreira, Lasso’s commercial director for the domestic market.
