On this occasion, they requested 3 new <a href=\"https:\/\/sidcon.nl\/en\/products\/product-underground-compactor\/\">underground compactors<\/a> for a very special project: the Lee Towers. These tower blocks are located in the Rotterdam Innovation District (RID). This old harbour district is currently being developed as a high-innovation residential-business district. Sidcon\u2019s compactors are the perfect match for this sustainably and innovatively designed part of Rotterdam.<\/p>\n<h2>Waste collection for over 850 apartments<\/h2>\n<p>The Lee Towers, previously known as the \u2018Marconi Towers\u2019 have been part of the skyline in the Merwe-Vierhavens district since the early 70s. Each tower block is 95 metres tall and has 24 storeys. In the past few years, Lee and Tom Foolen have been helping to transform these towers and 2 of the 3 towers have since been converted for residential use with 860 apartments. All waste from the new residents will soon be collected in 3 underground compactors. Obtaining permission from the City of Rotterdam for the installation of the 3 compactors was a formality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three underground compactors handle the waste collection for 850 apartments in Rotterdam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2252,"parent":0,"template":"","tags":[66],"producttype":[35],"class_list":["post-2066","projecten","type-projecten","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-project-2-0-eng","producttype-presstation-pro-en-2"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Sidcon arranges compactors for the Lee Towers in Rotterdam<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Underground compactors Lee Towers, Rotterdam.
