The Shack Recovery Island – 3 x 58 litre lanes

The Shack includes 3 compartments of 58L allowing the sorting of recyclable materials, organic materials and waste.

MATERIAL – The Shack is designed and manufactured in Quebec. The product is manufactured in the Formétal factory-school, whose mission is to socially and professionally reintegrate young dropouts. Made of sheet steel with 50% recycled content and recyclable at the end of its life, finished with electrostatic paint (baked paint) for great durability, The Shack has a hinged lid that opens on the top to facilitate unloading of bags. The openings available are square. The bin uses 11-gauge sheet metal, except for the bottom, which is 11-gauge. Standard colors are black, brown, steel gray, and white (other colors available).

A mobilia base is placed at the bottom of the module to keep the three 58 liter (23 US gal) plastic liners securely in place.

26″ x 36″ bags can be used inside each of the liners, which have a lip at the top and are made of plastic with 35% recycled content. Their proper insertion into the compartment is facilitated by two guides attached to the bottom.

DIMENSIONS – The exterior dimensions of a module are 83.82 cm or 33″ (wide) × 38.1 cm or 15″ (deep) × 76.2 cm or 30″ (high).

CASTERS – The quiet 2″ diameter rubber casters make it easy to move the unit, even when full of materials.

DISPLAY (optional) – For display purposes, the use of 3M vinyl stickers with a Teflon finish makes it easy to change the posters as needed. The adhesive used is suitable for metal and electrostatic paint, so it is just difficult enough to remove the stickers (preventing breakage by users), while still allowing their removal in the event that they need to be changed.

This type of sticker and glue have proven effective on Montreal metro bins, where passengers may be tempted to tear off the sticker. Experience shows that removal is too difficult, which discourages passengers, but it is still possible for the team responsible for replacing posters.

Vinyl stickers are coated with Teflon to ensure durability and prevent wear. Vinyl makes the stickers difficult to tear and is easily washable.
