What is Semi-Underground?
A Semi-Underground container is a smart container, with a part above ground (mostly 1/3) and a part underground (mostly 2/3).Easy Installation

First, a small excavator digs a hole for the bin.
2
Secondly, the bin is placed with a small crane (possible with the same machine).
3
At last, the ground around the bin is poured back and compacted.
Fast Emptying
1
First, a garbage truck (with one person) arrives.
2

Volume
One Z-Bin 5000 L equals 6 standard Roll Containers and a stunning 36 Wheelie Bins.
Collections:
The difference in volume results in far fewer truck rides; for a one-time empty of the Z-Bin, the same volume has to be emptied 6 times with a Roll Container and 36 times with a Wheelie Bin.
Personnel needed:
For Semi-Underground emptying, only one operator is needed. This saves a lot of money, in comparison with Roll Container (2) and Wheelie Bin (3).
Environmental impact:
The environmental impact of Semi-Underground is a lot smaller than Roll Containers and Wheelie Bins, due to the far fewer truck rides and sustainable lifetime.
