A waste underground system and waste-ground system is a system for interim storage of waste - and recyclables in urban areas. A fundamental distinction must be made between full and semi-underground systems. The systems are subject to the EN 13071-1, EN 13071-2 and EN 13071-3 standards.

Semi-underground system

A semi-underground system consists of a foundation container and a collection container with a throw-in system. Most of the foundation container is sunk into the ground, but, depending on the manufacturer, protrudes approx. 90 cm from the ground. A collecting container is placed in the foundation container.

These systems are usually available in volumes of one to six cubic meters . The foundation container is made of waterproof and high-strength concrete or plastic. The protruding part can be provided with an external cladding. The collection container closes at the top with the throw-in system that is tailored to the groupage. The container is emptied by lifting the collecting container with the waste by the crane of the garbage truck ; by pulling on a rope, the bag opens and the individual garbage bags fall into the press room of the garbage truck.

Fully underfloor system

A fully underground system consists of a foundation container, safety technology , a collection container, a sidewalk platform and a throw-in column. The foundation container and collection container are located underground. The sidewalk platform ends the system flush with the ground. The throw-in column is the visible part of the system. The operation of fully underground systems is particularly child, old and handicapped-friendly, as it is easier to use due to its low insertion height. There is also the option of opening and closing with a foot pedal.

Fully underground systems are available in volumes of three to five cubic meters. To avoid accidents during emptying and to prevent fires, these systems are equipped with appropriate safety technology. The foundation tank pit is closed by a sidewalk platform adapted to the environment. The visible throw-in system can be individually designed differently depending on the manufacturer.

Technical equipment

With appropriate technical additions, the filling quantity can be transmitted to a central point in order to organize the emptying of the containers. The use of the systems can be personalized through the RFID system .
