waste disposal
A type of container/bin used to dispose of chemical/medical waste. Specifically it is used for "flaconnages vides et emballages des DCT, Flacons non rincés contenant des résidus de produits dangereux, autres dechets chimiques solides". My document describes them as follows:
Les chariots GRV
Capacité : 660 litres, dimensions extérieures L 600 x I 400 x h 320.
I have also found an online description: Le chariot GRV est le conteneur utilisé dans le point d’apport pour regrouper les déchets d'activités de soins. Il est conforme à l’ADR. Différents modèles sont utilisables dans nos points d’apport, en particulier ceux qui sont adaptés à la chaîne d’incinération des DASRI.
But I cannot for the life of me work out what GRV stands for, and therefore whether there is an equivalent container used in the UK.
Thanks in advance.

This website: http://www.directindustry.fr/prod/sotralentz/conteneurs-pour... suggests that it is called an intermediate bulk container in English, and that term gets plenty of search results on google.
Note from asker:
| Yes, its definitely used in the right context. I think this may be it, if not very close! |

Discussion
It also seems to have been included in a French>Turkish glossary, which would have given me the meaning of the acronym at least.
shows a picture. I know these things but my mind can't get around to getting the name for it right now.
