The city of Lamego, in the Northern region of Portugal, known for its exceptional historical and cultural heritage, reinforces its commitment to sustainability and the modernization of urban waste collection with the installation of the Lasso™ range of underground hydraulic containers.

With their discreet and elegant design, Lasso™ containers integrate naturally into the monumental landscape of Lamego, a city where the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Remedies, the Castle, the Cathedral and its streets full of history stand out.

The Lasso™ hydraulic system, available in versions with one, two, three or four deposition columns, stands out for its technological innovation, safety and functionality. By keeping the collected waste below ground, this system frees up surface space and contributes to cleaner, more organized and pleasant streets, enhancing the urban environment and the quality of life of the population.

With this installation, Lamego reinforces its role as an example of a modern, sustainable city aligned with best environmental practices.

New autonomous system for Lasso hydraulic containers

Lasso, an international leader in underground and semi-underground containers, is taking another step toward making waste management smarter and more flexible. In addition to the already well-known hydraulic solutions that require an external power source, it is now introducing a new autonomous system for its Lasso hydraulic containers.

This new feature allows the container to operate completely independently, requiring only a local electrical connection, without the need for a truck with a hydraulic system. This is a particularly attractive solution for those who do not have a contract with an operator who has hydraulic lifting equipment.

Why this solution?

Operational autonomy: the container now has a hydraulic unit that allows lifting and lowering with a simple button — perfect when the collection truck does not have a hydraulic system or cannot access the location (e.g., very narrow streets, condominiums, indoor parks, etc).
Compatibility and flexibility: it maintains the ability to connect to an external hydraulic source (such as the collection truck) via a quick-connect coupling, allowing you to always use the most convenient source.
Simple installation: only a local electrical connection is required to ensure operational autonomy.

In practice, this ensures a range of benefits for customers, including improved collection frequency and reliability in hard-to-reach areas, as well as reduced reliance on dedicated vehicles on site. The advantage also lies in its flexibility, as it maintains the ability to operate with an external source whenever convenient (for example, for scheduled truck collections).

With over 30,000 containers installed worldwide, Lasso remains committed to innovation and sustainability—investing in solutions that facilitate selective collection and promote cleaner cities.
