Garbage bin box Dagobert 4 boxes for 120 & 240 liters in anthracite with plant roof

BIO Stefan Dagobert Mülltonnenbox 4er Kombination 120l und 240l in Anthrazit mit Pflanzdach, bepflanztes Dach mit blühenden Stauden und Sedum, über Eck auf Terrasse

Four bins, a green roof: the Dagobert 4 boxes in anthracite

This setup shows how unobtrusively four garbage bins can disappear in the front yard. The Dagobert garbage bin box is positioned here as a 4 boxes corner unit on a paved terrace, framed by a natural stone wall and rhododendron. It combines two wider boxes for 240 liters and two narrower ones for 120 liters, all in anthracite (RAL 7016) with horizontal slats.

The special feature is the roof: instead of a flat hinged lid, each box here has a planted roof. In the photos, you can see the roofs filled with substrate and gravel, or already planted with blooming perennials and sedum. This turns the enclosure into a small green area that blends into the garden instead of interrupting it. More variants with green roofs can be found in the category garbage bin box with planted roof.

Who benefits from this 4 boxes combination?

A 4 boxes unit with mixed sizes fits wherever several bin types come together and the space still needs to look neat.

Typical situations:

  • Households with separate collection of residual, organic, paper, and yellow bag waste
  • Properties where 240-liter bins and smaller 120-liter bins stand side by side
  • Front yards and driveways where the bins are visible from the street and the house
  • Locations with a desire for greenery, such as next to flower beds, hedges, or natural stone walls

This is how the allocation can be divided:

  • Two 240-liter boxes for the large bins, for example residual waste and organic waste
  • Two 120-liter boxes for the narrower bins, for example paper and yellow bag in a bucket
  • More volume if needed via the garbage bin box 4 boxes in pure 240-liter configuration

If you want to mix bins of different sizes, the overview Combination 120L and 240L helps with the selection.

Material and color: anthracite made of galvanized metal

The Dagobert is made of galvanized steel sheet with a scratch-resistant, organic coating. The material is designed for corrosion and UV resistance according to EN 10169, so it is suitable for permanent outdoor use. Anthracite RAL 7016 appears understated and visually recedes, especially in combination with gray paving and natural stone as shown in these photos.

If you prefer a different look, you can choose the box in black (RAL 9005), silver (RAL 9006), gray aluminum (RAL 9007), white gray (RAL 7035), brown (RAL 8017), or a wood finish. You can find more robust models of this design in the category Metal Trash Bin Boxes.

Construction, Lid, and Everyday Access

In everyday use, how easily you can access the bins matters. With the Dagobert, you open the doors from the front and pull out the bin or tilt the lid to deposit waste. It’s practical that the door hinge can be set on either the left or right side, and the lid can be opened from the front or back. This way, you adapt the box to the placement direction instead of the other way around.

The doors and lid are standardly locked with a toggle lock; a key lock is optionally available. For the plant roof, the plantable tray replaces the flat folding lid, but the bins remain fully accessible underneath. You can find the technical details and exact configuration directly on the product pages of the Dagobert 4 boxes for 240 liters and the Dagobert 4 boxes for 120 liters.

Plan Space and Ground Properly

Two points determine a clean result.

Measure the installation area realistically. For a 4-box combination, add the widths of the individual boxes plus some clearance for opening the doors. In the photos, the box is deliberately placed at a corner so it runs along the terrace and the wall, keeping the path clear. Include the door swing area in your planning so you can comfortably pull out the bins.

Solid, level ground. The boxes here stand on laid paving stones. A load-bearing, level surface is important so the doors close properly and the box doesn’t warp. You can compensate for small unevenness with the height-adjustable feet. The box does not need to be screwed down; it stands by its own weight. With the plant roof, additional weight from substrate and planting further supports stability.

Conclusion: discreet, robust, and greened

The Dagobert 4 boxes in anthracite shows how four bins of different sizes can be arranged without making the front yard look staged. Galvanized metal ensures weather resistance, the plant roof brings some greenery back, and the flexible door and lid opening makes everyday life easier.
