This Revit family provides a technical in-ground waste container model, featuring a durable recessed body for efficient site waste management. The EarthBin is an in-ground waste containment system designed for discrete exterior refuse storage. The unit consists of a high-capacity, tapered subterranean receptacle topped with a robust, rectangular above-ground housing. The visible portion features a hinged blue access lid for waste deposit, set within a brown casing that includes a metallic-finished structural band. Its design prioritises durability and environmental integration, allowing the bulk of the waste volume to remain below grade. The geometry is clean and functional, suitable for high-traffic public or private exterior areas where efficient, concealed waste management is required.
The download is a 707 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.
As a native Revit family, this component is intended for placement within site plans or exterior project models. Users can load the asset into a project file and host the base within a custom sub-surface component or ground slab. The model includes simplified geometry that maintains performance in large site plans while providing accurate footprint data for coordination with civil engineering or landscaping drawings. It is compatible with standard Revit material mapping for rendering and visual documentation.
