What is a good location for a neighbourhood container?
When the municipality decides that new neighbourhood containers should be placed in a certain area, Avalex’s location managers start looking for suitable locations. It is also important to know how many households can be served by one neighbourhood container.
It is important how many households can do together with one neighbourhood container. A neighbourhood PMD container is enough for 75 households. A paper container can serve 250 households and one textiles container is good for 900 households!
The location manager has an overview of underground cables and pipes. We work around this for safety reasons, the container should not be placed too close to cables and pipes. “Test trenches” are dug at the locations themselves to check whether it is true that there are no cables and pipes underground there. Furthermore, soil research is carried out so that we know in time if the soil is contaminated. We also make sure that the walking distance to the neighbourhood container and that it is easy accessible for the refuse collection lorry.
