H&G underground collection container systems:
The future of recyclables disposal
Elegant, hygienic, and accessible: H&G’s underground waste collection systems enhance quality of life in urban areas and contribute to sustainable urban and municipal development.

Modern waste disposal
On request 100% water-tight
The underground container collection system EUROPA from H&G shows the appearance modern waste disposal in urban spaces can present. The collection containers disappear completely under the ground, leaving only the small, rather unobtrusive deposit columns visible on the surface. This is H&G’s solution to the problems typically linked with public collection points for waste and recyclable materials. The EUROPA system makes urban space and the surrounding living environment tidier and more attractive, improving the quality of homes and lives. The ground-level installation of the systems, as well as the low deposit height, ensure easy access and operation and are therefore also ideally suited for children, wheelchair users and senior citizens.
The modern water-tight collection container can be used for all recyclable and waste fractions and also reduces follow-up costs. There is also significantly less contamination of the concrete foundation and surrounding pavements, resulting in lower cleaning costs.

EU-patented and sustainable
Our underground waste collection systems have been on the market for over 30 years and offer a lifespan of 20 to 25 years. H&G’s fully welded, 100% liquid-tight steel containers prevent waste liquids from seeping into the ground. They also reduce the need for cleaning and eliminate unpleasant odors right from the start.
With our innovative combination of access control and fill level sensors, you gain maximum efficiency in your waste management processes. Define who can access the underground containers, enable fair, usage-based billing, benefit from absolute planning reliability thanks to automatic fill level notifications to the waste disposal provider – and much more. Feel free to contact us for more information.
BARRIER-FREE ACCESS
The optimal deposit height and large, variable input openings make this system accessible and consequently very easy to use for senior citizens, children and people in wheelchairs.
MODERN URBAN AND SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT
Our underground container collection systems provide for a clean environment, require very little space and blend perfectly into the residential environment, contributing to an improvement in quality of life.
HYGIENIC FILLING AND EMPTYING
The collection containers are discreetly placed underground – minimizing odors and ensuring greater hygiene and cleanliness in residential areas.
Equipped for all recyclables and fractions:
The EUROPA underground collection container system
Various intake shafts for all types of recyclables and waste fractions, such as paper, cans, glass, and more: The H&G EUROPA underground waste collection system is the ideal solution for your recycling needs. With waste volumes ranging from 1.5 m³ to 5 m³, it meets all disposal requirements. The foundation containers are available in either concrete or steel.
Due to their timeless design and functional construction, H&G underground waste collection systems are ideally suited for integration into urban planning. Architects also appreciate the space-saving design in densely built or high-traffic urban areas. The excellent sound insulation of the underground systems allows for 24/7 use of the intake shafts.
Public spaces
H&G underground systems are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Traditional recycling collection points often fall short of the vision of a well-kept urban landscape. A clean environment and the successful integration of a waste disposal concept into the surroundings look quite different.
No wonder that design-conscious architects, urban planners, and residents alike welcome every new underground waste collection system: Because it fits seamlessly into any living and working environment. Because it is discreet and compact. Because it is easy to fill with its large intake openings. And because it can be used 24/7 thanks to excellent sound insulation.

collection system CITY
The CITY underground waste collection system by H&G is designed to handle daily waste volumes in public spaces – quickly, cleanly, and economically. The CITY system is mostly concealed underground, with an aesthetically designed intake column remaining visible, seamlessly blending into any environment.
UFA – TIDY.
CLEAN. INVISIBLE.
UFA, the underground container lift, is the variable waste disposal system that is guaranteed to keep your environment clean and tidy. Here, too, the 240, 660 or 1,100 litre waste containers simply vanish under the ground – and with them, the unsightly waste container locations. An electric drive system ensures the waste containers are lifted quickly and reliably.
CONTROLLED
ACCESS
Access to the deposit column is only possible for authorised users – either by means of a conventional profile cylinder key or a modern electronic identification system.
