Lomax Outdoor Waste Sorting – Durable Solutions for All Weather Conditions
Outdoor waste sorting places special demands on durability and functionality. Lomax offers weather-resistant sorting solutions that work reliably in all weather conditions throughout the year. LomaxFan gives you an overview of Lomax's outdoor range.
Challenges of Outdoor Sorting
Outdoor waste bins are exposed to rain, frost, wind, and sun, which places high demands on materials and construction. In addition, outdoor solutions must resist vandalism, prevent animals from accessing the waste, and operate intuitively for passers-by who may not know the sorting rules in detail.
Lomax has addressed these challenges with products specifically designed for outdoor use.
Materials for Outdoor Use
Lomax's outdoor waste bins are made from materials that can withstand the elements. Stainless steel is durable and resistant to corrosion. Galvanized steel with powder coating provides protection at a lower price. Robust recycled plastic is lightweight, weather-resistant, and maintenance-free. All materials are chosen to maintain functionality and appearance across many seasons.
Solutions for Different Outdoor Environments
Lomax covers a wide spectrum of outdoor needs. For parking areas and entrances, they offer robust stations with multiple fractions. For courtyard environments and outdoor areas, they have aesthetic models that blend in with the architecture. For public paths and parks, there are vandal-proof models with lockable lids and reinforced constructions.
Animal Protection and Odour Reduction
Outdoor bins from Lomax are equipped with tight-fitting lids that prevent birds, cats, and other animals from spreading the waste. The lid systems also reduce odour issues, which is important for bins near entrances and seating areas.
Emptying and Logistics
Lomax's outdoor sorting solutions are designed for efficient emptying. Many models have wheels for easy movement, and the size can be adapted to the emptying frequency. For large businesses, Lomax can advise on optimal placement and logistics that minimise the time spent on emptying.
Winter Conditions
Winters can bring challenges with frost and snow. Lomax's outdoor bins are tested to temperatures down to minus 25 degrees and have mechanisms that work even in freezing weather. Pedals and lids are designed so that they do not freeze shut.
