The Altus recycling bin, model 15.552.4, represents a pinnacle of modern urban furniture design, meticulously engineered by Iwona Żaczek to meet the aesthetic and functional demands of contemporary public spaces. Spanning 190 cm in width and standing 102 cm tall, this substantial unit offers an efficient waste management solution for high-traffic environments. Constructed with a robust frame, the bin is available in either durable stainless steel (AISI 304) or high-quality painted carbon steel (S235JR), ensuring long-term resilience against environmental factors. The sophisticated look is further enhanced by side walls crafted from transparent acrylic glass (Plexiglas), which provides a sleek, modern visual appeal that integrates seamlessly into diverse architectural landscapes.
Functionality remains at the core of the Altus series, which is specifically designed to facilitate effective waste sorting in public areas. This recycling bin configuration features five dedicated internal spaces, each accommodating a 50-liter container, providing a total capacity of 250 liters. This modular approach allows for comprehensive waste segregation, making it an essential element of sustainable street furniture planning. With a total weight of 200 kg, the structure provides exceptional stability. To ensure security and permanence in high-use settings, the unit is intended for permanent installation, being securely attached to the ground via bolts anchored directly into the foundation.
As a specialized piece of urban furniture, the Altus recycling bin prioritizes cleanliness and ease of maintenance. The design consciously excludes an ashtray, focusing purely on waste collection efficiency and maintaining a clean, minimalist silhouette that minimizes visual clutter in plazas, transit hubs, and commercial centers. By blending premium materials such as steel and acrylic with a highly functional, multi-compartment structure, this product serves as a durable, long-lasting solution for municipalities and developers looking to enhance public infrastructure. The Altus line continues to set a high standard for recycling bins, combining industrial-grade durability with an elevated aesthetic suitable for any modern cityscape.
