Which stage follows the "mandated, static, lidded metal vessel" in the container evolution timeline?
A specialized, often smaller vessel for resource recovery
The timeline progression outlined for waste container evolution places the mandated, static, lidded metal vessel—the Poubelle Standard—as the second major stage following ancient/informal practices. The stage immediately succeeding this focus on general public health disposal was the emergence of specialized containers for resource recovery. This third stage involved designated bins, which appeared around 1883, intended specifically for separating valuable materials like paper and rags. Only after this recovery focus did the timeline advance to the fourth stage: the lightweight, mobile, wheeled plastic unit (the wheelie bin) designed for automated handling.
