The Altus Recycling Bin, model 15.052.7, represents a sophisticated approach to functional urban furniture, meticulously designed by Iwona Żaczek to integrate seamlessly into modern public spaces. This triple-chamber recycling bin provides an efficient solution for waste management, offering a total capacity of 150 liters, divided into three 50-liter galvanized steel internal containers. With its streamlined dimensions of 114 cm in width, 102 cm in height, and 38 cm in depth, the unit is optimized for high-traffic environments such as parks, city squares, and pedestrian zones, ensuring that sustainability efforts are both accessible and aesthetically pleasing.
Constructed with durability and longevity in mind, the frame of this piece of street furniture is available in high-quality stainless steel (AISI 304) or durable, powder-coated carbon steel (S235JR). The structural integrity is complemented by the warmth of natural materials, as the casing features high-grade wood panels. Clients may select from a variety of finishes, including European softwood, European hardwood, oiled hardwood, or premium hardwood, allowing the product to harmonize with diverse architectural surroundings. The design intentionally excludes an ashtray, prioritizing a clean, minimalist silhouette that emphasizes its primary purpose as an efficient waste receptacle.
Installation of the Altus Recycling Bin is straightforward and secure, utilizing a bolt-down system that attaches the unit firmly to a pre-existing foundation. This mounting method ensures stability and safety in public settings, making it a reliable choice for professional landscape design. By combining high-specification materials—such as robust galvanized steel and weather-resistant timber—this recycling bin serves as a durable component of the ZANO collection, reflecting a commitment to functional, long-lasting public furniture that meets the rigorous demands of municipal infrastructure and contemporary urban development.
