Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2343366A] A set of containers comprises a plurality of smaller containers (Fig 1) suitable for holding waste at one location, e.g. within a building; and a plurality of larger containers 242, 244, 246 suitable for holding waste at another location, e.g. outside a building; at least one of the smaller containers having one or more ventilation openings in at least a side wall thereof and preferably containing an air-permeable liner, and optionally being provided with a lid; and at least one of the larger containers having one of more ventilating openings in at least the side walls thereof, and preferably having a lid, wheels and an air-permeable liner. The containers may be provided with spacers on the inner surfaces to space the liner away from the inner surfaces, to help ventilate the waste material. The small containers may be compartmentalised or modular, each compartment or module being suitable for use as a waste container. The set of containers are preferably made from a plastics material and may have indicator means to associate a specific small container with a specific large container so that waste collected in the smaller container can be transferred to the corresponding larger container.
