Two bin sizes, one front yard, a thousand question marks? We'll show you how to turn your bin Tetris into a design statement.
Imagine this: You stand in front of your house. Two small 120-liter bins on the left, the big 240-liter one on the right. A wild mix of bin sizes that looks like after a night of heavy partying. But wait! Before you despair or even consider switching all bins to one size (expensive!), we have the solution. And it's smarter than you think.
The bin dilemma: When David stands next to Goliath
From Amsterdam to Zagreb, from Munich to Marseille – the same picture everywhere: homeowners juggling different bin sizes like circus performers with plates. Organic waste here, residual waste there, paper over there. 120 liters for this, 240 liters for that. Chaos? Not with us!
The burning question: How do you get this size mix into stylish trash bin boxes without it looking like a mess?
The Dagobert trick: When size really matters
The 240 wonder weapon
Here comes the first stroke of genius: The Dagobert trash bin box in 240L version is like cargo pants among trash boxes – it holds more than you think!
The trick: 120L bins also fit into a 240 Dagobert. No joke! That means:
- 2x 120L bins + 1x 240L bin = a 3-box in 240L needed
Plan B for space savers
Is your front yard more postage stamp than football field? No drama! Mix and match is the order of the day:
- Take a 2-box for the 120 twins
- Plus a solo box for the 240 diva
- Place side by side – done!
Pro tip: The boxes do not need to be screwed together. They are anchored in the ground anyway – rock solid like a Swiss safe.
Stahlfred & Holzmichl: The transformers among the trash boxes
Perfectionists, take note!
These two are the secret stars of the trash bin box combination. Why? They have the same trick as Lego bricks – everything fits together!
The ingenious design:
- 120L and 240L models: same height ✓
- Same depth ✓
- Difference only in width (10cm – which often matters!)
Here's how it's done:
- Choose your fighters: 2-set in 120L, 1 in 240L
- Set up: Like a boy band in formation
- Screw together: The boxes become one unit
- Show off: With the seamless look to the neighbors

For large families and shared flats: The rule here is also – whoever has space simply takes the 3-set in 240L. Everything fits in there, from organic waste to party trash from last weekend.
Alubert: The all-rounder with a standard size
One Size Fits All – seriously!
Alubert puts an end to size madness. One box for all:
- 90L? Fits!
- 120L? Sure!
- 240L? Absolutely!
Fig.: Alubert - one size fits all
It's like sweatpants with an elastic waistband – always fits, but still looks stylish (unlike sweatpants).
The ultimate decision tree

Reality check: This is how it really works
Step 1: Get the tape measure out. Yes, really measure! Don't estimate like parking space size when parking.
Step 2: Future planning. Is baby number 3 on the way? Then there will be more trash. Is the municipality planning new bin sizes? Stay flexible!
Step 3: Style check. Does wood suit your place? Is metal more your thing? Or maybe the classic?
Step 4: Ask the pros! The BIO Stefan crew advises you in more languages than the UN – whether in the showroom in Leonding (near Linz, for the GPS-stressed) or by phone (German & English).
