ELOT TS 1501-10-02-02-02 Waste containers in outdoor public spaces

The aim of this Specification is to define the requirements applied on solid waste containers (waste bins) which are installed in outdoor public spaces (pavements, parks, gardens, squares, public areas, etc.).

These containers have a small capacity, up to 100 l, are fixed and removable. They are made out of wood, steel, cast iron, aluminium, synthetic materials and/or a combination thereof.

They usually have an external casing, a base fixed to the ground, on a wall or on a post and a removable internal bin, which is secured by an interlocking device.

They are usually industrial products available in many forms, functions, capacities, materials and external finishings. However they can also be constructed based on designs that have been approved by the project developer.

For several types of these bins it is customary to apply standard dimensions and construction formations, which are mentioned in this Specification.

They must be installed in such a way that they are accessible and do not hinder the movement of pedestrians, especially persons with disabilities. Moreover, they must be visible and usable by these persons.
