Lasso Semi BT em Herault

Contenur, the exclusive distributor of Lasso for the French market, has installed around 40 Lasso SEMI BT semi-underground containers in the department of Hérault, in southern France, as part of a project promoted by Syndicat Centre Hérault.

These are semi-underground containers with a “Wood Imitation” cladding, concrete pit, and Kinshofer lifting system with a metal inner container and double door. The modular polyethylene lid includes a flap, and the containers for residual waste are equipped with a double drum lid and pre-installed access control system.

Thanks to their robustness and high construction quality, this model has demonstrated excellent performance, perfectly adapting to the region’s requirements, both from an aesthetic and functional perspective.

Hérault, located in the Occitanie region, is known for its diverse landscapes, combining Mediterranean coastline, modern urban areas, and historic villages. It is an area committed to environmental sustainability, where efficient waste management is an increasingly important priority.

“The installation of SEMI BT containers in Hérault represents an important step in strengthening selective waste collection in urban and semi-urban areas in France. This project, developed by our partner Contenur, reflects not only the confidence in the quality of Lasso’s solution but also the commitment of Syndicat Centre Hérault to more efficient, modern, and environmentally responsible waste management,” says Sofia Sampaio, Lasso’s commercial director for the international market.

With this project, Lasso strengthens its presence in France and reaffirms its role in innovation and the quality of urban waste management solutions.

During the three days of ENLU, Lasso will have a stand in the exhibition area, where professionals from the sector, municipalities and decision-makers will be able to see up close the equipment and technologies that have been transforming urban cleaning in severa cities across the country.

“We are very proud to once again be participating in ENLU, this year in Porto, a city with which we have strong ties, in the region where we are based. This is a strategic moment to reinforce our commitment to innovation and sustainability in urban waste management. We hope to contribute to a constructive debate and show how technology can be an ally for cleaner and more efficient cities”, highlights Maria João Ferreira, Lasso’s commercial director for the national market.

ENLU is one of the main national forums for sharing good practices and discussing policies and solutions for urban cleaning, bringing together hundreds of participants from all over the country every year.

Eco-islands with Green Bee underground containers

With the aim of increasing waste collection capacity and improving the urban image, Moita City Council is reconverting some collection points in the municipality, by replacing existing containers, using for the first time Green Bee underground containers, from Lasso.

At the moment, the conversion covers two recycling banks – also called “ecological islands”. The first has already been installed, on Rua Dr. Alexandre Sequeira, next to Largo do Mercado, where the existing containers were replaced by Green Bee underground containers. The recycling bank consists of seven containers, three for the selective collection of glass, paper and packaging, and four for mixed waste, with a hydraulic system, one of the latter of which will soon be adapted to collect bio-waste.

The second recycling bank will soon be installed in another part of the town, at the intersection of Rua D. Pedro II and Rua dos Descobrimentos, where the new Green Bee underground containers will replace the old surface containers existing there.
