Brown 240 l Container for Food and Garden Waste

Grass, leaves and kitchen scraps – heavy, damp, but they fit

Bags of leaves in autumn, grass cuttings in summer, kitchen waste all year round. Green waste is damp and heavy, so what matters for its container is not only capacity but also strength. The 240-litre brown container withstands a load of up to 96 kg.

A larger container is also useful for families who do not yet have a compost bin. The sturdy body with a 575 × 730 mm base stands steadily on grass or gravel, and the lid stops rainwater from collecting between the leaves and grass.

Why this size

• 240 l capacity – holds the cuttings from one mowing of an average plot.
• Permitted load 96 kg – damp waste does not deform the container.
• Lid – reduces odour and protects against rain.
• 2 wheels – no need to lift a heavy container.
• EN 840 – suitable for refuse collection vehicles.
• Brown colour – commonly used to mark bio waste.

Technical data

Who it is for

Homes with a larger plot or garden, restaurants, canteens and schools where food waste is produced every day. Check your waste collector's information to see whether brown containers are used for bio waste in your municipality too.

Tip for choosing

Branches and larger twigs are better shredded or composted – they fill the container quickly. For a smaller plot, a 120 l brown container will be enough.
