Definitions

  • the present invention relates to waste collecting system comprising a waste collection container.
  • a waste collection container may be a substantially closed container comprising a waste receiving opening, where the waste collection container may be fully sunken or half-sunken waste container or arranged fully on the ground.
  • the storage capacity may in some cases be situated underground and/or above ground.
  • the waste collection container is suitable for collecting separated waste fractions, such as paper, glass, organic waste, textiles, refuse, drink cartons, and synthetic packaging. It fits all standard lifting systems including round-headed and three-point hooks.
  • the waste collection container is suitable for collecting separated waste fractions, such as paper, glass, organic waste, textiles, refuse, drink cartons, and synthetic packaging. Even though the storage capacity in the underground waste container may be large, the waste takes up a lot of storage capacity per unit.
  • the waste collection container must be emptied often according to a maintenance schedule, which is costly and often a difficult task in cities.
  • the waste collection vehicle is often parked, when emptying the waste collection container, in such way that the truck poses a problem to the rest of the traffic.
  • EP 2 664 449 A2 discloses a domestic waste container for placement underground, having a press drive which is provided for urging a press plate from a stand-by position of the press plate in linear movement to a pressing position of the press plate.
  • WO 2016/120522 discloses a compactor for compacting waste material to be entered in an underground collection container and an underground collection container comprising a compactor. Waste enters the compressing space inside the compactor through a filling opening with a hatch. A press member is provided above the compressing space configured to press the waste material against the bottom plate of the compactor to create a bale. Afterwards, the bottom plate opens, and the compacted bale is dropped into the underground waste collection container configured for storing a plurality of compacted bales.
  • JPH1171001A discloses a waste storing apparatus for efficiently and conveniently storing and collecting waste.
  • the apparatus comprises an upper cylinder and pressing plate configured for compressing waste inside the elevator box.

  • the compressed waste can be taken out from a discharge port arranged on the side of the elevator box when the box is arranged in an elevated position.
  • EP3248907A1 discloses a waste container comprising an insertion chute for receiving waste.
  • the waste is compressed against a base plate using a lifting device with a tiltable press plate moved along a lifting path. Afterwards, the base plate is opened, and the compressed waste is transferred through base plate into a collection container.

  • the present invention addresses this by providing a waste collection system according to claim 1, wherein the waste collection system has a waste collection container comprising a volume configured to receiving waste, wherein the waste collection container comprises:
  • a waste collection container is a solution for integrating a large storage in a stylish manner and at the same time creating a hygienic environment to deposit waste.
  • the waste collection container is suitable for collecting waste, such as paper, glass, organic waste, textiles, refuse, drink cartons and synthetic packaging.
  • the waste collection system comprises a waste collection container having a volume configured to receiving waste.

  • Waste when entering the volume of the waste collection container, may pile up from the lower volume and then up to the upper volume. Waste such as paper, glass, organic waste, textiles, refuse, drink cartons and synthetic packaging takes up a lot of space inside the waste collector container.
  • a cover or covers, lids, doors etc. are provided to cover the receiving passage.
  • the pressing device is arranged in a top part of the upper container member in a first position, which is where the pressing device is in a collapsed position.

  • the pressing plate passes the waste receiving passage when being displaced.
  • the receiving passage is preferably covered to prevent accidents from happening when the pressing device is activated.
  • waste collection system One effect of the waste collection system is that the waste can pile up from the bottom of the lower volume and upward toward the upper volume while being compressed periodically. After each compression, waste load on top of the compressed waste and the new waste again piles up from the lower volume and upward toward the upper volume, such that the waste is continuously compressed on top of already compressed waste for optimized utilization of the volume of the waste collection system.
  • the waste collection system considerably increases the collection capacity.
  • the collection frequency is reduced, leading to lower costs and negative impacts on the environment such as reduction of emissions, noise, and traffic.
  • the pressing device may easily be integrated into existing waste collection containers.
  • the upper container member and the lower container member may be arranged in a horizontal plane relative to each other.
  • the pressing device is attached in a first end to the top part of the upper container device, wherein the top part is arranged in the opposite end of the upper volume opening.
  • the waste collection system When placing the pressing device in top of the upper container member, away from the ground level and above the receiving passage, ensures that the waste is always below the pressing device and the waste will be compressed when the pressing device is activated.
  • the waste collection system thereby reduces the volume of waste inside the waste collection container, and thereby reducing maintenance costs and traffic problems, due to larger interval for emptying the waste collection container.

  • the upper container member and the lower container member may form a substantially uniform tube-shaped waste collection container, having an equal inner cross-sectional circumference in the entire waste collection container.
  • the pressing device may be configured to compress waste inside the waste collection container by substantially vertically displacing the pressing plate from the first position to a second position inside the waste collection container, such that the pressing plate is capable of being displaced systematically upwards or downwards in the upper container member and the lower container member.
