A functional and safe recycling point is designed to offer its users ease of use, efficiency and safety, and to blend in with its surroundings. Here are some key factors to consider when designing a functional recycling point;

1. Clear and easy to use designThe recycling point should be clearly marked and easy to use. Collection equipment and different waste fractions should be easily visible and accessible to users.
2. AccessibilityIn addition to the accessibility of the collection point, the collection equipment itself should also take into account users with reduced mobility and visual impairments. The filling height should be low enough to accommodate wheelchair users and the waste labels should also enable visually impaired people to recycle.
3. AestheticsThe recycling point has been designed with aesthetics in mind so that it blends in with its surroundings and creates a pleasant overall experience for all users.
4. Enable sortingThe recycling point should have clear instructions on how to sort and recycle different types of waste. Users should be able to identify where waste belongs and how it should be sorted correctly.
5. Optimised space and operating capacityThe recycling point should be optimised in terms of operating costs and space requirements. The recycling point should allow for the longest possible emptying intervals, without taking up unnecessary space in the yard.
6. Safety aspectsThe recycling point must be designed to be safe to use and to empty. Collection equipment must fully comply with standards.
7. EmptyingThe location of the recycling point on the site has taken into account the space required by the waste collection vehicle so that emptying does not cause unnecessary inconvenience or safety risks to other traffic.

In summary, a functional and safe recycling point provides its users with clear instructions and opportunities to manage their waste properly, while minimising risks and providing them a pleasant experience.
