CONCEPT OF BIN-LESS AREA OR CITY
Wherever possible, it is advisable to synchronise primary collection and secondary collection, thereby avoiding the need for secondary storage bins or depots.
Secondary storage
Storage depots are required for secondary collection of waste in cities where the bin-less system is not adopted. In most cities, the following types of waste storage depots exist:
1. Cement-concrete bins
2. Masonry bins
3. Dhalaos
4. Metal bins or containers
Being unhygienic, cement concrete bins, masonry bins, and dhalaos are being replaced by metal containers. In general, waste storage containers should be covered and designed to facilitate mechanical lifting to avoid multiple handling and environmental harm. It is necessary to wash community bins at regular intervals to ensure a healthy and hygienic environment for users and workers.
