The Altus recycling bin, model 15.252.7, represents a sophisticated fusion of durability and aesthetics, meticulously designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern urban furniture. Crafted by designer Iwona Żaczek, this double-compartment waste segregation solution is an essential element for contemporary public spaces, parks, and city centers. The unit features a robust frame available in high-quality stainless steel (AISI 304) or painted carbon steel (S235JR), ensuring long-term resistance to environmental factors and heavy daily usage. Its sleek, vertical silhouette, measuring 40 1/4 inches in height and 30 inches in width, allows for efficient placement in pedestrian thoroughfares while maintaining a subtle presence within the landscape architecture.
Functionality remains at the core of the Altus line, which is specifically engineered to streamline waste management through a practical two-container system. Each compartment offers a capacity of 13 1/4 gallons, supported by galvanized sheet inserts that facilitate ease of maintenance and hygiene. To ensure maximum stability in high-traffic street furniture applications, the bin is designed for secure ground mounting via a screw-down installation method. The integration of premium materials—ranging from European coniferous wood to durable exotic hardwood finishes—allows the piece to harmonize seamlessly with both natural surroundings and modern metropolitan infrastructure.
This recycling bin is characterized by a refined, wood-finished aesthetic that elevates the visual appeal of any outdoor area without compromising on structural integrity. By offering multiple wood options, including oiled and premium exotic varieties, ZANO provides the flexibility to customize the product to match specific architectural requirements. As a fundamental component of professional waste segregation systems, the Altus model avoids extraneous features like ashtrays, focusing instead on a clean, minimalist design language. Its heavy-duty construction, weighing 168 lbs, underscores the reliability expected of top-tier public furniture, ensuring that the Altus remains a long-lasting, sustainable, and functional fixture in any urban environment.
