Aluminium garbage bin box Alubert 2 boxes for 240 l in grey aluminum with a slope
Two bins at the corner of the house: the Alubert 2 box in grey aluminium
This configuration shows an Alubert garbage bin box for 2 boxes in grey aluminium (RAL 9007), positioned on the asphalt driveway directly at the corner of the house beneath the wooden canopy. The space is narrow, the ground slopes slightly towards the street, and yet both lids can still be opened fully. That is exactly what the compact 2-box version is designed for: 139.5 cm wide, 80 cm deep, 121 cm high, and weighing just 37 kg, so two people can easily put it in the right place.
The light grey aluminium blends visibly into the background against the grey render. From a distance, the box looks more like part of the house facade than a piece of furniture in the front garden. You can find the entire range in the Aluminium Collection.
Who can really benefit from a 2-box garbage bin box?
The 2-box version is the typical size for households that keep two bins outside permanently and do not want to create a separate waste area.
Typical situations:
Single-family home with general waste and organic waste bins
Semi-detached house with a shared driveway
New build where the space at the corner of the house is planned in from the outset
Secondary location next to a larger box, for example for paper and yellow bags
Typical arrangement with two bins:
General waste and organic waste
General waste and paper
Organic waste and lightweight packaging
One bin plus space for bags
Each compartment holds one bin, including the 240-litre size. If you later need more waste-sorting categories, take a look at the 2-box Collection or go straight to the Boxes for 240-litre bins.
Difference from the 1-box version
The 1-box version is the solution for a single parking space or for locations where only a narrow niche is available. As soon as two bins are to stand side by side, the 2-box version is the cleaner solution: one continuous body, one line, one height. The Alubert 1 box is still worth considering if the ground slopes steeply, as explained below.
Grey aluminium RAL 9007: why aluminium works here
The body is made of powder-coated aluminium, complemented by corrosion-resistant stainless steel (A2) and galvanised steel at the stressed points. For a box that stands outdoors without a roof and regularly gets wet, it is the low-maintenance choice of material.
What aluminium offers in everyday use:
weather-resistant, even in a permanently damp location
low-maintenance, wiping it down is usually sufficient
calm, smooth appearance without visible wood grain
With Alubert, you have three standard colors to choose from: Anthracite (RAL 7016), Black (RAL 9005), and Grey aluminium (RAL 9007), as shown in these photos. Anthracite RAL 7016 is the standard color and the most affordable option; Black and Grey aluminium are available at an additional cost. Custom colors are available on request. Grey aluminium is the lightest of the three shades and the right choice if the box stands in front of a light-colored facade and should not look like a dark block. Anthracite, on the other hand, deliberately creates a contrast.
Hinged lid, handle, and everyday access
Both compartments have their own hinged lid with a gas spring that opens gently and stays open. You can see exactly that in the first photo: both lids are open, providing a clear view into both compartments, with no need to hold them up. The chain leading down from the box lid is also clearly visible: it can be connected to the lid of your garbage bin, so the bin opens automatically when you open the box. This works equally well with 120- and 240-liter bins.
The lock is integrated directly into the handle, while the locking mechanism itself remains hidden. From the front, you only see two slim handle rails in the center, with no surface-mounted hardware. You can find more boxes with this lid design in the Collection garbage bin box with hinged lid.
The bottom is open. This ensures air circulation, keeps the interior dry, and makes rinsing easy because the water can drain away directly.
Space, surface, and slope
1. Assess the available space realistically
Do not plan only for the box's 139.5 cm width. You also need:
Space above for the opened lids
Some clearance from the wall so the doors can swing open fully
Maneuvering space in front to pull out the bin
The photos show a well-planned setup: the box is flush with the corner of the house, the driveway in front remains clear, and the wooden canopy is high enough above the opened lids.
2. Surface and slight slope
A level, solid surface is the best foundation for installation. Asphalt like this, concrete slabs, or a paved surface are ideal. We advise against soil, crushed stone, or gravel because the box may gradually sink into them.
A slight slope is not a problem. The Alubert stands on height-adjustable feet with an adjustment range of 10 to 75 mm, allowing you to compensate for the difference in height so the lids close properly again. You can find all models with this feature in the Collection for sloped surfaces.
Important for steeper slopes: The adjustment range is limited. If the surface slopes more across the entire width of the box than the feet can compensate for, it is better to place several smaller modules (1 box or 2 boxes) next to each other in steps instead of using one continuous long box. Each module then stands level on its own, and the stepped arrangement follows the slope instead of working against it.
Assembly
The box comes as a flat pack. According to the manufacturer, assembly takes around 15 minutes per individual box and requires no special DIY skills. An optional installation kit is available for securing it to the ground, along with a matching touch-up paint pen.
Conclusion
If you need to accommodate two bins in a narrow space, the ground slopes slightly, and you don't want the box to stand out as a dark, bulky block, the Alubert 2 boxes in grey aluminium are a very neat solution. Low-maintenance aluminium, damped hinged lids, adjustable feet for sloping ground, and a format that fits beside the corner of the house without blocking the driveway.
