3 boxes and 4 boxes garbage bin boxes – why they are the standard today

Why 3 boxes and 4 boxes garbage bin boxes are the new norm – and what they deliver

Contents overview

The reality in households: More than two bins

To be honest: The days when two garbage bins were enough are over. Most households separate today:

  • Residual waste
  • Organic waste
  • Paper
  • Yellow Bag or Yellow Bin

Additionally: Many municipalities promote or require active waste separation – which leads to more bins and greater space requirements.

3 boxes garbage bin box – the new standard

The 3 boxes combination is now standard in many households. Why?

  • It covers the most common fractions: residual, organic, paper
  • It can be well integrated architecturally
  • It offers clear lines and functional benefits

If you regularly use Yellow Bags and want a separate compartment for them, you should consider a 4 boxes solution.

Advantages of the 4 boxes solution: More flexible, tidier, more forward-looking

With a 4 boxes garbage bin box, you play it safe:

  • Space for yellow bag or bin
  • Optional compartment for glass recycling or grit
  • More order in the outdoor area

Especially practical if you have children or regularly accumulate more packaging – everything stays neatly stored.

Thinking future-proof: Space for more than just garbage

Many customers appreciate additional compartments, e.g. for:

  • Deposit bottles
  • Garden accessories
  • Winter grit
  • Stock of yellow bags

That's why 3 boxes and 4 boxes boxes are not just a solution for today – but an investment in the future.

Conclusion: Why bigger pays off

More bins don't automatically mean more chaos – on the contrary. With a well-thought-out 3 boxes or 4 boxes garbage bin box, you bring order, function, and design into harmony.

And what if you need more later? Many models can be expanded modularly – without breaking style.
