Lasso has supplied around 70 new semi-underground containers for waste collection in the community of Val de Drôme, in the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region, in France. In a region with an essentially agricultural and rural landscape, the new Lasso Semi PE containers offer a large storage capacity for all types of waste, reducing collection trips and offering a more sustainable solution.
In a project developed in collaboration with Contenur, Lasso’s distributor for the French market, recycling banks were installed made up of 5m³ semi-underground polyethylene containers, with “Imitation Wood” recycled plastic finishing.
Regarding its technical characteristics and configurations, the container for mixed waste has a modular lid with a simple drum, with bag and Quick System extraction system; for packaging and paper, a solution was selected with a modular lid and small lid, bag and Quick System extraction system; and, for glass, the option was also the modular lid with a small lid, but here with a metal tank, better adapted to this type of waste, with a single hook extraction system.
“The configuration solutions for Lasso semi-underground containers are quite diverse, from the openings, to the tank and the extraction system, and allow adaptation to the needs of each community, this versatility being one of its great advantages. They are also containers that ensure a perfect fit into the environment and support the sustainability strategies of municipalities”, says Sofia Sampaio, Lasso’s commercial director for the international market.
