Can we put a wooden basket outside by the sea?
A litter bin made from wooden slats is essentially made of a metal frame. So beyond the quality of the wood, which must be autoclave-treated for outdoor use, it is the quality of the steel that is at stake. Preferably for use as a litter bin and street furniture such as ashtrays by the sea or in very humid environments, a galvanized steel structure is necessary to ensure a good lifespan. The Voussert range, available in ECL10, ECL11, ECL21 and 7996J, is designed with this in mind.
What are the different materials for wooden or imitation slats?
Most baskets are made of slats that can be either actually treated wood, varnished or not and complying with FSC standards, autoclave treated but often we are more in the presence of composite wood (material reconstituted from wood waste and resin) or aluminum made of wood. The interest of composite wood or aluminum is its resistance over time and very reduced maintenance compared to natural materials such as pine, even treated.
Can we set up selective sorting?
Yes, it's possible and quite easily, either through signage placed on the front of the bin or on top of it. Some models have lids that already include the color code for selective sorting, such as the Zeno Rossignol range. A colored bag can help with sorting. As part of a complete equipment package, Voussert is able to customize and create specific selective sorting signage for your city or business. Don't hesitate to contact us.
How to fix the trash can to the ground?
This type of bin weighs on average between 25 and 30 kg . Therefore, their weight added to that of the waste is theoretically enough to prevent any movement in the event of wind or movement by users. However, it is strongly recommended to fix the bin to the ground to avoid risks of theft, strong gusts of wind, etc. It will therefore be an argument for the safety of people more than theft or damage to furniture.
What is the warranty period for outdoor products?
The duration of the legal guarantee of conformity is 2 years . Please note that we are talking about a guarantee of conformity, that is to say a guarantee which covers, as its name indicates, a non-conformity of the product. In all cases, to benefit from a guarantee, it will be necessary to be able to justify the use and maintenance of the product as a "good father of the family" . Whether for a trash can, an outdoor ashtray , being products often placed in public spaces and subject to bad weather and sometimes very heavy user traffic, the maintenance and upkeep of the product will be important.
Can I personalize my outdoor bin to match my city's RAL?
Yes, we can create a specific RAL as well as the presence of company or city logos.
A minimum quantity will be required to cover the fixed costs of customization.
