Definitions
- the invention relates to an assembly of a waste container, such as ⁇ - for instance, an OTTO-waste container, and a housing in which the waste container is fittingly received with some clearance.
- the invention also relates to a housing in which a waste container is fittingly receivable with some clearance.
- the invention further relates to a method for the use of an assembly according to the invention.
- Such an assembly is known from practice.
- the waste container is placed near a house on a piece of land such as, for instance, a garden, a terrace or a drive.
- the so-called GFT-waste which stands for vegetable, fruit and garden waste
- GFT-waste which stands for vegetable, fruit and garden waste
- a different type of household waste is stored until the waste is collected.
- Such a waste container has as a drawback that, for instance, the shape, the color or the dimensions are not geared to the direct surroundings in which the waste container is placed. Therefore, the waste container is often experienced as being an "eyesore".
- a further drawback is that the waste container can strongly heat up in the sun. This can prime a process of decay of the waste stored in the container.
- an assembly of the known sort therefore also comprises a housing in which the waste container can be received.
- the housing is built at a location where the waste container is to be taken from the housing, and to be stored.
- the waste container is placed on the sidewalk by the side of the road by the user so that employees of the waste collection services do not have to enter an individual garden, terrace or drive.
- Storing the waste container in the housing necessitates more space in the housing than the space taken up by the waste container when the waste container is in the housing in a condition of rest.
- waste containers provided with wheels on a side of the waste container where also a cover is hingedly connected (to the waste container)
- the waste container is often in a tilted position during storing, which also requires extra space for the waste container to be placed.
- space is necessary for at least the arms of the user who tries to maneuver the waste container in the desired position in the housing. Due to this additionally required space, the housing has to be built so as to be spacious, which is experienced as a drawback.
- the invention provides in an assembly of a waste container, such as, for instance an OTTO-waste container, and a housing in which the waste container is received with some clearance, the waste container being provided with a first cover for opening and closing the waste container, the housing being provided with a second cover for opening and closing the housing, the housing being provided with an opening for receiving the waste container in the housing, the housing extending along a rear side and an underside, the housing being provided with at least one wheel, the at least one wheel being positioned such that the housing is at least mobile in a direction being substantially at right angles to the rear side of the housing.
- a waste container such as, for instance an OTTO-waste container
- the housing being provided with a second cover for opening and closing the housing
- the housing being provided with an opening for receiving the waste container in the housing
- the housing extending along a rear side and an underside
- the housing being provided with at least one wheel, the at least one wheel being positioned such that the housing is at least mobile in a direction being substantially at right angles to
- the housing can have dimensions which are smaller than the dimensions of a constructed housing in which the waste container is placed. The fact is that no extra space is necessary in the housing to maneuver the waste container in the housing. As the housing is at least mobile in a direction being substantially at right angles to the rear side of the housing, the housing is placeable around or over the waste container. When the waste container is placed against a wall or a fence, the housing is placed around or over the waste container so that the waste container is completely enclosed by the wall and the housing.
- An embodiment of the assembly according to the invention is characterized in that the second cover is connected to the housing with the aid of a hinging connection near a housing edge which, is formed by the junction of the upper side and a side located at the side of the housing, or the rear side.
- the waste container can be placed against, for instance, a wall such that the hinging connection of the second cover is located at a side of the waste container directly opposite the wall.
- one of the side walls of the housing can be placed, such, that the first cover and the second cover can be opened in a similar manner, i.e. they can be opened in a direction corresponding to the pivotal direction.
- a special embodiment of the assembly according to the invention is characterized in that the second cover rests on the housing at a slight inclination. This offers the advantage that the rainwater cannot accumulate on the second cover but will drip from the second cover.
- a further elaborated embodiment of the assembly according to the invention is characterized in that the first and the second cover are detachably connected to each other, such that the first cover follows the opening and closing of the second cover.
- a still further elaborated embodiment of the assembly according to the invention is characterized in that the housing and/or the waste container is provided with means for detachably coupling the housing and the waste container such that the housing and the waste container are mobile together. This offers the advantage that the housing and the waste container can be wheeled simultaneously by one user.
- the invention also relates to a housing of the assembly according to the invention.
- the invention also relates to a construction kit for a housing of the assembly according to the invention.
- the invention further relates to a method for the use of an assembly according to the invention.
- a method according to the invention comprises at least the following steps: a) receiving the waste container in the housing by wheeling the housing around or over the waste container which has previously been placed at and/or in a desired position; and b) opening and closing the second and first cover; and c) taking the waste container out of the housing by wheeling the housing in a direction being substantially at rights angles to the rear side of the housing.
