Odessa city bins

The city municipality has decided to update the appearance of waste receptacles.

New underground waste system is shown in new design—plastic is being recycled and general waste goes all the way down into the collector underneath the street level. Helpful pictograms show which type of waste each bin is used for. Colours make it easy to remember such information for the daily usage; diagonal stripes make the bin visible amongst straight-line city furniture.

The information is duplicated on the top of the lid.

Clear yet detailed pictograms show all types of waste for each bin.
