The Veridi bin was inspired the work of architects Herzog and De Meuron and Philip Johnson specifically the Dominus winery in California as well as the Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut.

The design of the bin is centered around the idea of a modular skeletal structure covered with customizable pattern of flat panels. The panels will be comprised of sustainable materials like therma-cork, and also recycled materials such as a plaster made from scraps of concrete, plexiglass and bioplastic bins.

Veridi bins are an attempt to respond to the growing need of nature preservation in New York city parks and aim at engaging New Yorkers to recycle and compost their waste.

The bins will be strategically located in the various parks within the city. The use of therma-cork was purposely integrated to allow the bins to become a means of branding. The metal skeleton of the bins respond to the growing need to prevent overflowing garbage and separation of recyclables and non recyclables. Lastly each bins have an integrated platform that allows drainage.

Each design iteration has been approached from different perspectives of waste disposal including landfill waste disposal, recycled waste disposal and compost waste disposal.

Modular metal cage encompasses bins made of recycled plastic.

Customizable 2" thick panels come in various sizes and materials to meet the aesthetic needs of the community.

ITERATION 1: bins are serviced by opening hinged doors on the back of of the structure.

ITERATION 2: bins are serviced by pulling out drawer line quadrant at the bottom of the structure.
