Bin it right, collecting bright

Opatija, a scenic coastal town in Croatia, is famed for its history, architecture, and beaches, attracting many tourists. To keep the town clean, the municipality chose WGE-Tech, a dealer for Traflux ZBin, for waste bins. After a successful trial, they ordered the ZBins, followed by an additional order.

The City of Lier reduced street waste bins from 366 to 259, increasing total capacity from 17,670 to 19,255 liters by using larger bins in high-traffic areas. Weekly waste empties and interventions dropped from 2,200 to 1,363, allowing more time for other cleaning tasks, and litter or illegal dumping decreased from 194.5 tons to 177.1 tons. The number of bins empty more than half the time decreased from 54 to 12, and bins overflowing at least once a week dropped from 54 to 28.

”The rectangular shaped containers have a high level of modularity in lifting and capacity”.

"Residential care centers produce a lot of waste. Just think of plastic, residual waste, paper/cardboard, glass, swill, ... . But also medical waste and confidential documents. With rolling containers and semi-underground containers, the waste is sorted and collected in a safe but also economical way."

”Thanks to Traflux's fast service every car wash remains clean and illegal dumping is prevented. We always choose the aluminum version. This best matches the style of our Ottowash chain”.

”Traflux' semi underground waste containers have bigger volumes than standard waste solutions. These large volumes can be emptied in one time which means you save a lot of trips to collect the waste”.

”The badge system (pre-paid) is particularly suitable for our use. After all, citizens can top up their badge with as many credits as they want via a web platform. For our part, we can very easily and remotely credit a specific badge. Moreover, thanks to remote management, we can get an overview of the filling level of our various devices.”

”All materials of Traflux are selected on quality and durability. This makes these waste containers fitted for long term exposure to maritime climates”.

”When we started our business, we immediately knew that we would choose a semi-underground waste container system. After all, no odor nuisance for customers and user-friendly for staff”.

The containers were delivered in a very short time. Moreover, it's possible to choose from different finishes: from perforated aluminum plate to wood.

”We chose these MINI ZBins because they can be used for multiple purposes. Wherever you install it, it always comes into its own: alternately in a park, a busy shopping street, a cemetery, a central square. It always seems like a different bin. A real hit for us!”

"Traflux' waste containers are completely seamless, so there is no risk of leaks or cracks. The thick and very robust plastics, the double-walled inner lid and solid stainless steel hinge makes them very robust."

”We mainly wanted a clean and sustainable solution for the store itself, the staff and the customers. The choice fell on the ZBin. Which was divided between a container for residual waste and food waste".

”Compared to all other semi-underground waste containers, Traflux focuses most on details, profile and look. The unique design features create a clean and non disturbed profile”.

”The big asset is the self-closing lock, which means that only our own people can deposit waste in the containers. This gives illegal dumpers no chance. In addition to the ZBin's super hygienic solution, there is always someone available at Traflux.”

”The environmental impact of semi-underground containers is a lot smaller than roll containers, wheelie bins or other waste solutions due to the far fewer truck rides and sustainable lifetime.”

“Due to the larger volumes, we save a lot of trips with the ZBin compared to other types of waste containers. In terms of waste, the Velodroom is already the first to cross the finish line”.

”The temperature underground is very stable and mostly lower that the temperature above ground. With the semi-underground ZBin we also reduce bad smells”.

”We chose Traflux because of its professionalism and efficiency. Moreover, we have always been able to count on their support and understanding in difficult moments (such as Covid-19)”.

”One of the big advantates is that the ZBin containers do not take more floor space as a regular wheelie bin while have much larger volumes for waste collection”.

”Traflux is a genuine family business and that how they deal with their dealers. Production and distribution went very smooth.”
