Dagobert 6 boxes for apartment buildings: six 240-liter bins in anthracite

Six bins behind one facade: the Dagobert 6 boxes in Anthracite in use

When six bins stand in one place, the waste area can quickly become the most cluttered spot on the property. These customer photos show how the Dagobert 6 boxes for 240-liter bins in Anthracite (RAL 7016) solve this: in a new development with labeled compartments for general waste, paper, organic waste, and recycling, as a continuous row along a white courtyard wall in a paved courtyard, and freshly assembled in the yard in front of a half-timbered house, with the flat-pack boxes still beside it.

Six compartments, six doors, six hinged lids, and yet just one clean line: 417 cm wide, 83 cm deep, and 126.5 cm high. That’s exactly what makes the 6 boxes appealing when several households share a waste area or one household wants to sort many types of waste neatly. You’ll find all sizes in this range collected under 6-box garbage bin boxes.

Who would benefit from a garbage bin box for 6 bins?

Six compartments make sense when the bins no longer fit in a 4-box or 5-box unit but should still be kept together in one place.

Typical locations

• Multi-family building or apartment building with a shared waste area
• Residential complex or new development where the waste area is planned from the outset
• Courtyard where the bins need to be tucked away along a wall
• Semi-detached house or house with a basement apartment, when each household has its own bins

Typical arrangement with six bins

• as in the photos: two general waste, two paper, one organic waste, one recycling
• General waste, organic waste, paper, and recycling, plus a second bin for whichever type fills up fastest
• three households with two compartments each, for example general waste and organic waste

Each compartment holds one bin up to 240 liters. If a smaller 120-liter bin is placed in a 240-liter compartment, the connecting chain included in the accessories ensures that its lid opens along with the box lid.

Make waste sorting visible

In the photos from the new development, each door has a colored sign at the top: general waste in black, paper in red, organic waste in brown, and recycling in yellow. With six compartments and multiple users, this avoids confusion because everyone can immediately see where things go. Matching Magnetic signs are available as accessories and, according to the product page, are compatible with Dagobert. The signs attach directly to the sheet-steel door and can be removed in one easy step if the arrangement changes.

Galvanized steel in Anthracite: why the long row looks so neat

Dagobert is made of galvanized, high-quality coated sheet steel. Technically, this is a 35 μm organic coating on Z225 hot-dip galvanized sheet, with corrosion and UV resistance in accordance with RC4/RUV4 under EN 10169-2021. The hinges, latches, and plug-in connections are also galvanized.

The box has slats all the way around; there are no solid sides or back panel. In the side view by the courtyard wall, you can clearly see the narrow gaps between the slats: air can pass through, which helps with the organic waste bin. The slats are coated in your chosen color on the outside and are light-colored on the inside. The bottom is open.

Anthracite RAL 7016 is the standard color and the least expensive option. Other options are black, silver, grey aluminum, off-white, brown, and three wood-effect fronts at an extra charge. For a front over four meters long, anthracite is a strong choice: against the white courtyard wall, the dark tone looks like a neat plinth rather than a wall of individual boxes. You can find more models made from the same material under Metal garbage bin boxes.

Flip-top lids, doors, and locking: access for multiple households

Each of the six compartments has its own lid with a gas strut that opens smoothly. You can open the lid from the front or the back; you decide during assembly. If, as in the courtyard photos, the box is placed directly against a wall, allow around 4.5 cm between the wall and the flip-top lid so it can open. You can find more boxes with this roof style in the category Garbage bin box with flip-top lid.

To pull out the bin on collection day, open the front door. The door can be hinged on either the left or right. The lids and doors come with a standard toggle latch. If only authorized users should have access to the bins in a shared waste area, a key lock is available as an accessory, compatible with Dagobert models from model year 2023 onward.

Space and ground for a 4.17-meter-long box

For the 6 boxes for 240-liter bins, you need a space 417 cm wide and 83 cm deep; the box is 126.5 cm high with the lids. Leave space in front of the box to open the doors: with the door open at a 90-degree angle, the depth is 149 cm, and the door panel is 64.5 cm wide. Each compartment provides a clear width of 61.5 cm, a depth of 78.5 cm, and a height of 115.5 cm.

The Dagobert has no height-adjustable feet. The ground should therefore be as level as possible; according to the product page, a slight slope is not a problem. Concrete slabs or a paved surface are ideal; soil, crushed stone, and gravel are not recommended. The photos show exactly these types of surfaces: concrete slabs with gravel joints in the new development and paving in the courtyard and in front of the half-timbered house. If the surface slopes more steeply, a continuous row of 6 boxes is the wrong choice. Instead, it's better to place smaller modules side by side in steps, with each one level.

You don't need to bolt the box down. For locations exposed to wind, an optional installation kit is available for anchoring it to concrete or concrete paving. The 6 boxes for 240-liter bins weigh 124 kg and come as a flat pack in starter and extension packs, which the product page says can be transported in a passenger car.

An advantage for residential complexes: The Dagobert has a modular design and can be expanded later. If you add another waste category, contact BIO Stefan with your order number or a photo of your box.
