Norwegian term

nedg.cont.

Norwegian to English Bus/Financial Real Estate Condominium fees/abbreviation
Hi - I'm having trouble finding the expanded phrase for "nedg.cont." which appears in a list of condomium fees - the full entry is "tømming nedg.cont." so emptying of (some type of) container.

Thanks for your help!
Proposed translations (English)
4 +2 underground container/s

Discussion

Nedgang as in entrance.

That's what I first searched on "nedgang container" so maybe dumpsters picked up and flipped over by a garbage truck?
To save the resident scattergun answerer some guesswork: nedgang

Norwegian term (edited): nedg.cont. / nedgravd(e) container(e)
Selected

underground container/s

Alas, the low-profile Discussion Entrant or (Scots) Intrant is wrong again with only half an answer.

In a similar vein, my relative's favo(u)rite toy of a 'garbage truck' is called in BrE a refuse lorry.

Please note that a condo/minium in the UK is called a commonhold, in Canada and Oz/NZ, strata title and, in Spain, horizontal property.
Example sentence:

aesthetic appearance and cleanliness of the collection point that does not overflow with garbage

Restavfall tømming nedgravd container / En nedgravd avfallscontainer med et fleksibelt modulsystem med flere gode valgmuligheter for både utseende, størrelse og funksjon.
