Somehow we werehed in our residential complex, such a container for collecting used batteries. As always, first was the word.
On the same day, phoned with one of the vendors of the barrels, and acquired for 300 rubles with delivery to our LCD. In the meantime, they waited for delivery, discussed the design. And after a couple of days, the barrel in the area!
In parallel, in the group for residents of the LCD washed the vote. As always there were opponents) they are now, some are afraid to poison poisonous couples from the batteries, others think that we will welcome money from the sale of batteries)
Well, it's time to proceed to work. For access inside the barrel, the door was revealed. It is important to first make cut from the loops, fasten the loops, then cut off the eyes of the eye for the castle and consolidate it. After you can safely do the door, and it does not go anyway. The loops and the eyele are planted for 4mm rivets. (For me so the most comfortable fastening for fine metal)
Such a barrel appeared) the barrel was from under the hardener for paint, it seems like not toxic, it has already turned) ah, yes, loops, lock, eyelet, a cover of 110 PVC pipes, were purchased in French Hozmaga for purely symbolic money. And subsequently there were also paints. In the stage of working with metal, my role was completed.
The edges of the door and barrels were processed with a file and a petal circle of the grinder, to remove burr and acute edge. In the auto shops tried to find a U-profile, did not find (tell me in the comments, where to buy for cheap and not on Alik! Plz.
It was necessary to choose a color scheme. Stopped on the colors of the batteries that feed the pink rabbit runner as the most recognizable and easy to perform.
Barrel is degrees, and paints silver and bronze from tithes
The black color is applied with a roller, with the division of the border with the help of painting scotch.
Here is the result of the first layers. The next day was closed by the second layer.
The lid was planned in the center as the positive contact of the battery. But they decided to shift it to the edge, and set over the factory hole in the barrel, in order to avoid flowing inside the water from precipitation.
The following was printed and illuminated instructions for using barrels, and the inscription "for batteries" and the "Receyk" sign was ordered. In the advertising agency it cost 50 p) Of course, not a complete similarity with the battery **** Sell, but it was not planned.
Well, not the solemn opening of our container in the trash can) I wanted to invite the head of our Criminal Code, the press, stars of pop and politicians, but as they decided without a pump. Just brought, and left on the site.
The first "catch" for 4 days
Yes, there are also batteries that can probably restore special costs.
I hope we saved a lot of hedgehogs)
For that month, that the barrel stands in our LCD, she was twisted once, and it had characteristic traces of rolling on asphalt. After angry posts in the home group in VC, she quickly returned to the place, but no one saw anything) the batteries are withdrawn and is distinguished to recycling regularly.
From the improvements: you need to put the river sand in the bags for gravity, and fasten the chain to the fear) the batteries inside the barrel on the sewer tube fall into the plastic bucket.
Something like this) @Chistomen collects garbage in cities, @gribgribych in the forests, and we collect batteries in our small, but very cozy residential complex Green Quarter !;)
