Holzmichl 3 boxes garbage bin box in anthracite: combine 120- and 240-liter bins

Three bins, two bin sizes, one front: 120 and 240 liters combined

One 120-liter bin and two 240-liter bins side by side, yet still featuring a calm, continuous wooden front: This Holzmichl 3 boxes garbage bin box comes in anthracite (RAL 7016) with a spruce wood front and a gently sloped hinged lid.

In the customer photos, you can see it in two setups: once lengthwise along the light-colored house facade on gray concrete pavers, and once on natural stone paving directly beside the covered patio. Both locations have a slight slope, yet the boxes stand level and in a straight line. That is exactly what the Holzmichl combination 120L & 240L is designed for.

When combining 120 and 240 liters makes sense

The 3 boxes version with mixed configurations is the answer to a very common problem: The residual waste bin is large, while the organic waste or paper bins are not. Instead of building three equally wide spaces and leaving one of them half empty, each bin gets exactly the space it needs.

Typical applications

• Single-family and row houses with three separate waste categories
• A spot along the house facade, beside the patio, or at the property boundary
• Properties with a slight slope where a box would otherwise stand crooked
• Front gardens where the bins would be visible from the street

Typical configuration of the three boxes

• 2 x 240 liters for residual waste and waste paper
• 1 x 120 liters for organic waste
• Alternatively, 2 x 240 liters for residual waste and lightweight packaging, plus 1 x 120 liters for organic waste

You can freely choose the arrangement of the modules, so the narrow 120-liter module does not have to be on the outside. If you need more or fewer spaces, you can find the same wooden front in other sizes in the garbage bin box 3 boxes category and in the 120L and 240L combination.

Wooden front meets anthracite: material and color

The body is made of hot-dip galvanized steel, which is then powder-coated. This combination provides the weather and corrosion protection that a box needs for permanent outdoor use.

An insert made of spruce wood is fitted into the anthracite-colored frames and enclosed by a surrounding steel frame. This creates the material mix you see in the photos: warm, light wood across the surface, and dark anthracite on the frames, edges, and lid. The wooden inserts can be replaced or customized as needed, for example with a glaze matching the facade.

In addition to anthracite (RAL 7016), the Holzmichl is also available in pure white, white gray, telegray, black, gray aluminum, and cream white. You can see directly on the product which shades are currently available. You can find more information about the product line in the category Wooden garbage bin boxes.

Lid, lock and everyday access

In these photos, the hinged lid sits on top without a planting structure. It is slightly sloped, with an incline of around 2.5 degrees, so rainwater drains away safely instead of pooling on the surface.

When you throw something in, the lid opens gently via gas-pressure springs and closes softly via impact dampers. The bin lid inside opens in sync as soon as you lift the box lid, thanks to a connecting chain. So you do not have to reach twice.

It is locked with a central lock that secures the lid and door together, with magnetic catches on the doors as well. The doors can be hinged on the left or right, and the lid can be mounted in either direction, so you can adapt the opening direction to the installation site. If you prefer a planted roof, the same configuration is available as a combination with a planting roof; you can find an overview of all lid versions under garbage bin box with hinged lid.

Aligning modules of different widths on a slight slope

To ensure that the Holzmichl is as neatly aligned as in the photos, it is worth taking a quick look at the dimensions and surface.

The clear internal width per bin space is:

• 120-liter space: approx. 51.5 cm wide, 70 cm deep, 99 cm high
• 240-liter space: approx. 61.5 cm wide, 80 cm deep, 109 cm high

The 240-liter modules reach an overall height of around 118 cm with a hinged lid, or approximately 123.5 cm with a planting roof. Add the frame width to the clear internal dimensions and allow enough clearance in front for the doors and lid to swing open.

Suitable surfaces include paving, concrete or a compacted area. Both locations in the photos are paved and slope slightly: one with concrete pavers by the facade, the other with natural stone by the terrace. The adjustable screws on the feet compensate for this: They accommodate ground unevenness of approximately 15 to 60 mm and level the box horizontally. Screwing it to the ground is not essential; if necessary, you can additionally anchor it through pre-drilled holes in the bottom rails. You can find more examples for sloped sites under height-adjustable garbage bin boxes for slopes.

Conclusion: mixed bin sizes without visual disruption

The Holzmichl 3 boxes in anthracite shows that bins of different sizes do not have to create a restless facade. One narrow 120-liter module next to two 240-liter modules, combined with the continuous spruce wood front and a gently sloped lid: From the outside, the result looks like a single piece of furniture. On slightly sloping paving, the height-adjustable feet ensure that the line remains straight.
