Light Grey 120 l Container for Deposit-Return Packaging

Where to keep deposit packaging until it goes to the reverse vending machine

Bottles and cans marked with the deposit symbol have a value you only get back by returning them. To keep them from getting mixed up with other packaging or scattered in bags, it is worth setting aside a separate container. The light grey 120-litre container clearly separates deposit-return packaging from other streams.

A separate container also helps avoid confusion over what goes to the reverse vending machine and what goes into the packaging container. When all the deposit packaging is collected in one place, it can be returned in one go, without carrying individual bottles.

Construction

• Light grey colour – distinguishes deposit packaging from the yellow packaging container, so returnable packaging does not end up there by mistake.
• HDPE plastic – UV-resistant, so the container is also suitable for keeping outdoors.
• Two rubber wheels with a metal axle – easy to push, and the metal axle withstands frequent use.
• Lid – protects the contents from precipitation and from insects attracted to the remains of sweet drinks.

Technical data

Who it is for

Families who return packaging once every few weeks, shops, cafés and offices, event organisers, and schools that collect packaging for a shared cause. If you plan to place the container in a shared yard, check with the waste handler or building manager how deposit packaging is marked there.

Tip for choosing

Keep packaging with and without the deposit symbol separate from day one. With a yellow 120 l container placed next to it, you can sort packaging without the deposit symbol straight away.
