Transit

MODULAR SYSTEM – The Transit's modular design allows it to evolve in line with the ongoing recycling program, by adding or grouping material categories. Each module is completely independent and can be attached to the others.

Each module features front discharge, but materials are deposited through openings on the top (opening options: slotted, round, or square). A rubber rim around the opening enhances product safety. The lid is angled to prevent debris from accumulating on top of the islands.

MATERIAL – The bin is constructed from sheet steel with 50% recycled content and is recyclable at the end of its life. The sheet steel is finished with electrostatic powder coating (baked-on paint) for durability. The bin uses 18-gauge steel, except for the bottom, which is 14-gauge. 58-liter (15 US gal) plastic liners are inserted into each compartment. 26″ x 36″ bags can be used inside each liner. The liners, which have a raised edge at the top, are made of plastic with 35% recycled content. Proper insertion into the compartment is facilitated by two guides attached to the bottom.

DIMENSIONS – The external dimensions of one module are 13.39″ (width) x 16.54″ (length) x 38.19″ (height).

FRONT DOOR – The front opening of each compartment is an 11.625″ x 29″ door, secured with a full-height stainless steel piano hinge. The hinge's positioning allows the door to open fully.

The doors are held closed by magnets, and an optional lock prevents unauthorized access. A recessed handle makes opening the door easy.

CASTERS – The quiet 2″ diameter rubber casters allow the unit to be easily moved, even when filled with materials.

CLASP (optional) – A clasp is offered as an option, and it can be installed on all openings.

DISPLAY (optional) – For display purposes, the use of 3M vinyl stickers with a Teflon finish allows for easy poster changes as needed. The adhesive used is suitable for metal and electrostatic paint, making the stickers just difficult enough to remove (preventing damage by users), while still allowing for their removal if they need to be changed.

This type of sticker and adhesive has proven effective on the bins in the Montreal metro, where passengers might be tempted to tear off the sticker. Experience shows that removal is too difficult, discouraging passengers, but still manageable for the team responsible for replacing the signs.

Vinyl stickers are coated with Teflon to ensure durability and prevent wear. The vinyl makes the stickers difficult to tear and easy to clean.
