The future of waste disposal H&G Underground Container Collection SystemsThere was a time when the idea of waste disposal and the collection of recyclable materialswas so predominant, that everything else, the appearance of public places, for instance, paled into insigni?cance. The results are well-known. Waste collection points became eyeso-res, creating visual disharmony in our towns and cities. But in this matter, a change has long been in progress. Wherever local authorities appreciate the value of tidy cityscapes, more and more of these black spots are disappearing, made possible by an innovative, forward-looking idea - the underground container collection system. What we don‘t want disappears underground or is rendered quiet and unobtrusive. The H&G Underground Container Collection Systems, developed in 1993, became Europe‘s award-winning pioneers in future-oriented waste disposal. Today, the tidy appearance of countless European cities would be impossible without them. A soundly run, medium-sized business in the third generation of family ownership, H&G can offer high levels of expertise that have evolved with the company. Because all components for H&G Underground Con-tainer Collection Systems are manufactured at their own works in Germany, H&G has the required ?exibi-lity when it comes to designing customized solutions.The major difference to all previous systems is that they disappear underground, leaving only small, unobtrusive collection points visible on the surface. This is an opportunity for progressive local authorities and businesses to create tidy, noiseless collection points for waste and recyclable materials that are largely inconspicuous in their environment and help contribute the local residents’ “feel good factor”. And satis?ed residents are happy residentsDipl.-Ing. Bernd Henrich Managing director and owner of the group · Stahlbehälterbau Greis · H&G · SteelformingNew ways to achieve long term solutionsThe underground system EUROPAFor citizen-friendly waste disposal and recycling, the future has already begun. This future has a name: System EUROPA, CITY and UFA, comes from H&G and shows potential for future-oriented urban design. An investment to bene?t coming generations, too.The underground system CITY In public areas, such as city centres, leisure parks, shopping and exhibition centres, large amounts of different types of waste are produced daily, creating a very unsightly problem. The underground system CITY is the clean and economical solution to this problem, particularly at peak times. The underground system UFAUFA, the underground container lift, is the ef?cient waste disposal system which keeps things clean and tidy in private, commercial and public areas. With this system, too, the underground containers simply disappear, and with them, the ugly garbage collection areas.H&G Underground Container Collection System EUROPA Attractive and functional. Conventional collection points rarely correspond to the idea of a well-kept townscape. A clean environment and the successful aesthetic integration of a waste disposal concept into the sur-roundings would look comple-tely different. No wonder that design-conscious architects and town planners, but most of all the local residents, welcome every new Underground Collec-tion System, because they blend pleasantly into any residential and working environment. Because they are unobtrusive and small. Because their large loading ?aps make them easy to ?ll. And because they have good sound-proo?ng and so can be used round the clock.For an attractive townscapeH&G Underground Container Collection System EUROPA Our towns and cities want to boost their image and are aiming to look as good as possible. H&G‘s underground container collection system EUROPA is making a signi?cantcontribution to achieving this. Inconspicuous and pleasantly designed, they are now re-placing the unpopular and unsightly recycling and waste collection points. A special variation is the EUROPA system with a swivel arm. This model combines practicality with an improvement in the locations appearance, thanks to the interesting design of the ?lling shafts, making the new collectionpoints clean and attractive places. Emptying - the standard procedureWhen emptying the container with the inte-grated Grumbach system (original container from SSI Schäfer), everything follows the normal, economical one-man procedure. The ?lling shaft is quickly and easily unlocked, raised and turned on its centre axis. The lifting ?xture is now accessible and the container can be raised out of the foundation pit and emptied - well protected by a safety platform.Waste disposal — business as usualH&G Underground Container Collection System EUROPACollection of recyclable materials and waste disposal at public collection points have to be done. So groups of containers are a necessary evil. Hardly a decorative addition to any neighbourhood and residents endure a great deal of noise from glass smashing in bottle banks, for instance. So it‘s no wonder that more andmore communities are showing interest in a system that can offset these drawbacks with a range of advantages: the EUROPA Underground Collection System from H&G. As the containers disappear under-ground, their use is not rest-ricted to certain times. And the only remaining indications that this is a waste collection point are the small, inconspicuous and noise-free ?lling shafts. This is an opportunity for local authorities and businesses to create a humane, pleasant working and living environment, and consequently satis?ed residents.The EUROPA underground collection containers are emptied following the normal, economical one-man procedure. In a few simple steps, the ?lling shaft is unlocked, attached to the hook and emptied quickly and cleanly - everything well protected by a safety platform.It‘s simply hooked An attractive alternative model is the System EUROPA with swivel arm. Here, the flexible design has a particular role to play. For example, this system can be combined with an advertising or information space, or with a seating unit or ? ower boxes. This enables the practical bene? ts and the design of a location to be ideally combined, with the aim of making waste collection and recycling points more attractive. Filling: Perfect function, aesthetic designWith H&G‘s ? lling shafts, every function is perfect. The height of the loading ? ap is highly practical, particularly for older people, those in wheelchairs or children. The ? ap itself is extra-large and noise reducing to enable round-the-clock use and to ensure even distribution of the waste in the underground container below. And the elegant, rounded form makes the design of the H&G ? lling shaft pleasant on the eye, too. H&G ? lling shafts can be manufactured in either aluminium, galvanised metal sheet or stainless steel.H&G Underground Container Collection System EUROPA EUROPA residual waste type 1 EUROPA residual waste type 2EUROPA paper type 1 EUROPA glas type 1EUROPA paper type 3 EUROPA glas type 3EUROPA paper type 2 EUROPA glas type 2Single, double or triple hook techniqueFor the waste disposal companies, nothing changes. As usual, these underground coll-ection containers are also lifted by hook. The hook itself isn‘t visible but can be attached externally to speed things up. There is a choice of all the usual systems:· the single, double or triple hook technique· the Kinshofer mushroom system· the Grumbach systemH&G Underground Container Collection System EUROPA This surface simultaneously serves as a walkway and can be supplied in designs to match the surroundings ideally: for instance in · non-slip steel plate· red, green or black & white EPDM rubber surface · paving stones.Single, double or triple Kinshofer mushroom systemKinshofer mushroom systemSystem GrumbachSystem GrumbachThe hot-dip galvanised steel con-tainers have a capacity of 3 to 5 m3. Their large loading ? aps allow them to be ? lled evenly, which cuts costs by reducing the number of times they need emptying. Residents are not disturbed by the sound of waste being thrown in thanks to break-fall devices and a sound-deadening insulation layer which can be ? tted inside the container on request.Safety ? rst. During the emptying procedure, the foundation container is open to begin with. A self-actuating safety platform with a high load bearing capacity automatically slides over the open pit, providing a safe surface.Functionality, all along the line Collection container for the Grumbach systemCollection container for one, two, three hook techniqueSafety platformNon-slip steel plate EPDM rubber surface Paving stonesH&G Underground Container Collection SystemA tidy surface above, robust technology below. The innerworkings of Underground Container Collection Systems take place mainly under the surface; the brake-fall devices, for instance (see diagram), that ensure all waste or recyclable material are thrown into the collection containers making hardly any noise at all. The installation of an Underground Container Collection System couldn‘t be simpler. First, a foundation container, which can be made of watertight concrete or hot-dip galvanised steel depending on customer requirements, is placed in a foundation pit on a course of gravel that serves as a stablesubgrade. After this, the foun-dation pit is ?lled. The surface of the container also functions as the walkway. To ensure its surface blends into the surroundings as incon-spicuously as possible, non-slip steel plate, red, green or black & white EPDM rubber or even paving can be used.EUROPAFilling chuteCollection containerFoundation containerBrake-fall deviceSafety platform 12345On solid foundations 12345CITY Filling chuteCollection containerSuction shaft 123123H&G Underground Container Collection System CITY The knowledge that we have long been faced with an ever increasing ?ood of packing waste makes the small sizes of many waste containers in public places very dif?cult to understand. The consequence is they quickly over?ow and litter their surrounding with rubbish. But that isn‘t the case every-where. In more and more city centres, leisure parks, shopping precincts, at public transport stops and stations, exhibit on centres and in many other public areas, people have now managed to control the volu-me of waste. The key to doing this is the CITY Underground Container Collection System from H&G. This is the ideal system for public places where smaler waste volumes need to be disposed of quickly, cleanly and economically.With CITY too, the majority of the waste system itself is located underground. Only the aesthetically designed pillar which blends harmoniously into any background, remains visible. Should a different presentation be required, for historical old towns, for instance, customized solutions adapted to local con-ditions pose no problems at all. The invisible container‘s large capacity has a major econo-mical bene?t: the reduced number of emp-tying processes cuts manpower requirements to a minimum. The elegant solution Practical and as usual. The underground system CITY is emptied in the usual way. The waste is sucked out through a separate shaft by the type of suction device which is standard equipment on all large and small road sweeping vehicles.Pro?table and ?exible. The container‘s high capacity (650 to 1,000 litres are available) means longer emptying intervals are possible. For the transport company, emptying times are ?exible and containers can also be emptied outside normal business hours.Quick and easy. The ?lling shaft, a sophisticated design, is mounted on the hot-dip galvanised steel foundation container, which is simply placed in the ground. Depending on the surroundings, installation can be completed without dif?culty in a few hours. H&G Underground Container Lift (UFA)They are not usually consideredvery pleasant - the places where dust-bins and waste collection containers stand for houses and ?ats, company premises, restaurants, public building, etc. And no matter how creatively people try to hide them, they still smell in summer and attract stray animals and vermin.A complete, all-round solutionis needed and its name is UFA: the underground container lift from H&G. The waste containers simply disappear underground and only become visible when waste is deposi-ted in them or when they are emptied. This is because they are raised and lowered quicklyand reliably by a powerful hydraulic or electric motor whenever the need arises.The container lift‘s surfaces can be supplied with customi-zed designs to enable them to blend harmoniously into any surroundings. Whether your project is private, commercial or public, a new construction or a retro?tting job, H&G will be on hand to help with the planning. The result is a tidy, attractive living or working environment, free from unpleasant odours and unsightly waste contai-ners - the uncomplicated, yet perfect solution to an everyday problem. Variable CapacitiesThe underground container lift is available in different models, enabling it to provide suf?cient space to accommodate any num-ber of both 240 litre household rubbish bins and 1,100 litre roller containers.Tidy. Clean. Invisible Everything under controlTo prevent unauthorised people disposing of their refuse in your containers, the UFA container system can be ?tted with a so-called identi?cation system. This enables deposited waste quantities to be veri?ed precisely and so a separate invoicing for each individual tenant can be guaranteed.Safely under coverA powerful motor ensures that the wastecontainers can be raised and lowered quickly and reliably. In the process, it also lifts up the base plate to close the open pit and so guarantees that the containers can be emptied safely. Disposal made even easier.The UFA system can be ?tted with various deposit shafts to make waste disposal faster and even more convenient.H&G Underground Container Collection SystemsAlles zum Thema „Ident-System“Transparency for individual invoicing A special technique provided by H&G is the so-called identi?cation system. This system registers each individual deposit and allows a precise check to be carried out. Each refuse deposit is counted or weighed and evaluated, enabling individual refuseamounts or the number of individual deposits to be accounted for. This means every user only pays for the amount of waste they have actually disposed of, while ensuring that only authorised people have access to the disposal system.The identi?cation system from H&G has a modular design and offers a range of other useful functions. Depending on speci?c situations or individual require-ments, further functions can be added to the system, such as a warning function signalling when the shafts are full· a function controlling the level inside the container since it was last emptied· an automatic level indicator, which sends a text or e-mail message when the container need emptying.The H&G identi?cation system makes accurate invoicing possible — a genuine service that provides complete clarity.
