Alubert 3 boxes garbage bin box in anthracite: position three 240-liter bins on a slope
Three 240-liter bins neatly stored on a slope: the Alubert 3 boxes in anthracite
Three large 240-liter bins lined up next to each other can quickly look disorderly in the open, especially on a paved driveway in front of the house. This setup shows how neat the Alubert 3 boxes aluminum garbage bin box in anthracite RAL 7016 looks: three bins disappear behind one continuous, understated front, keeping the courtyard tidy. Even where the paving has a noticeable slope.
Here, the box stands freely between two large planters on a sloping driveway in a residential area, without leaning against a wall. That is exactly what the Alubert 3 boxes garbage bin box is designed for: a neat solution for three bins that you can place flexibly and that stands level even on sloping ground.
Who benefits from the Alubert 3 boxes at a sloping parking spot?
This box is the right choice if you sort three separate waste streams and the parking spot is not level. Typical examples include:
Driveways and courtyards sloping toward the street or drain
Semi-detached houses where the bins are visibly positioned on a sloping driveway
Properties where the bins stand freely in the courtyard instead of against a straight wall
Households with three 240-liter bins (residual waste, organic waste, paper) that want to take the bins out less often
Typical arrangement of the three compartments:
Residual waste, organic waste, paper
Residual waste, yellow bag, paper
Residual waste, organic waste, yellow bin
Two 240-liter bins plus one narrower 120-liter bin in the same compartment
Aluminum in anthracite RAL 7016: why the material performs well outdoors
The Alubert is made of powder-coated aluminum, combined with corrosion-resistant stainless steel (A2) and galvanized steel in the load-bearing parts. Aluminum does not rust, is lightweight, and withstands sun, rain, and frost for years. In the photos, you can see how the matte, understated anthracite-colored front looks against the gray paving: dark enough not to stand out, yet calm enough not to clash with the planters and house facade.
Anthracite RAL 7016 is the Alubert's standard color and therefore the most affordable option. If you prefer something lighter or different, the 3 boxes is also available in black (RAL 9005) and gray aluminum (RAL 9007); other RAL shades are optionally available at an additional cost. The best way to compare which color is suitable when is directly in the aluminum category.
Sloped lid with incline: why this matters on a slope
The lid of the Alubert is deliberately designed as a sloped lid with a gradient. You can see this clearly in the detail photos: The lid slopes down toward the front, allowing rainwater, melted snow, and leaves to run off by themselves instead of collecting on top. This keeps puddles from forming on the box, and in winter, snow slides off more easily. Especially when the box is already positioned on a sloping surface, you do not want additional water standing on the lid.
The lid is opened using a handle with an integrated lock. A gas strut holds it gently and in a controlled manner, so it does not fall shut. Via the chain mechanism, the box lid lifts the bin lid directly when opened, so you no longer need to touch the bin itself. The doors at the front are designed for conveniently pulling out the bin and are well ventilated through the horizontal ventilation slots, which helps reduce odors.
Installing on a slope: Clarifying the space and surface correctly
That is precisely the decisive point in these customer photos: The box stands on a paved driveway that is noticeably sloped. So that a 3 boxes still stands straight and securely, the Alubert has height-adjustable feet with 10 to 75 mm of adjustment range. This allows you to compensate for a slope or uneven paving stones without placing anything underneath, while keeping the front aligned.
You should clarify the following before installing on a slope:
Installation area: The 3 boxes is approximately 209 cm wide and 80 cm deep; allow space for the doors to swing open toward the front.
Surface: A firm, load-bearing surface such as paving, concrete, or compacted ground; not soft lawn that gives way on a slope.
Slope direction: Position the box so that you shorten the height-adjustable feet on the uphill side and extend them on the downhill side; then it will stand level.
Stability: The box stands securely through its own weight and the adjustable feet and does not need to be bolted to the ground, which is practical on a paved driveway.
The dimensions in detail: On the outside, the 3 boxes for 240-liter bins is approximately 121 cm high, 209 cm wide, and 80 cm deep. The clear width of each compartment is suitable for 120- and 240-liter bins (a 60-liter bin also fits). You can find all 240-liter models together in the 240-liter category.
Steeper slopes: Installing modules in steps
The height-adjustable feet compensate for the slope, up to the adjustment range specified on the product page. If this adjustment range is not sufficient, you still do not need any earthworks: Instead of one continuous box, place several individual modules next to each other in steps, for example several 1 box or two 2 boxes instead of one 4 boxes. Each module then stands level on its own, and the steps also compensate for a significantly steeper slope.
Conclusion: a discreet solution for three large bins, even on a slope
The Alubert 3 boxes in Anthracite is the right box if you want to store three 240-liter bins neatly and protected from the weather, even when the installation area is not level. The sloping lid keeps the top dry, the height-adjustable feet compensate for the slope of the driveway, and the anthracite-colored aluminum blends discreetly into the courtyard. An unobtrusive, durable solution that you can install freely. You can find further configurations and models in the overview of high-quality garbage bin boxes.
Frequently asked questions: Alubert 3 boxes in Anthracite on a slope
Can I install the 3-box garbage bin box on a slope or uneven ground?
Yes. The height-adjustable feet offer 10 to 75 mm of adjustment. This allows you to compensate for a slope or uneven paving stones so that the box stands level and securely, as shown here on a sloping courtyard driveway.
What is the Alubert's sloping lid good for, especially on a slope?
The lid slopes slightly forward. This allows rainwater and leaves to run off on their own instead of collecting on the box; in winter, snow slides off more easily. On an already sloping installation area, this is doubly convenient.
Does the 3-box garbage bin box need to be bolted to the ground when it is installed on a slope?
No. The box stands securely thanks to its own weight and the adjustable feet and does not need to be anchored to the ground, which is particularly practical on paving or a sloping driveway.
Is the Alubert 3 boxes suitable for three 240-liter bins?
Yes. The 3 boxes is designed for three bins placed side by side and accommodates 240-liter bins as well as narrower 120-liter bins; one 60-liter bin also fits in each compartment.
What material is the aluminum garbage bin box made of?
Powder-coated aluminum combined with corrosion-resistant stainless steel (A2) and galvanized steel for the load-bearing parts. Aluminum does not rust and is weather-resistant.
What exactly is Anthracite RAL 7016?
A dark, matte anthracite gray. It is the Alubert's standard color and the most affordable option; black (RAL 9005), gray aluminum (RAL 9007), and other RAL shades are available at an additional cost.
Is the Alubert 3 boxes also available in other sizes?
What do I do if the slope is greater than the feet's adjustment range?
In that case, install several individual modules next to each other in a stepped arrangement instead of one continuous box, for example several 1 box units or two 2 boxes units instead of one 4 boxes unit. Adjust each module individually so it is level, and use the steps to compensate for a significantly steeper slope as well.
