Finnish term or phrase: säilytystila
Menetelmälle on pääasiassa tunnusomaista se, että apusäiliön yläreuna on kiinnitetty säilytystilan yläreunaan, jolloin apusäiliö on yläreunastaan avoin ja jätteet pudotetaan sitä kautta apusäiliön sisään ja että apusäiliö tyhjennetään pohjaosan kautta siihen muodostetun avattavan ja suljettavan aukon kautta. Jätteet voidaaan pudottaa apusäiliöön vain avaamalla säilytystilan kansi.

agree  Desmond O'Rourke: Jussi's answer is very close - stowage is for more permanent keeping.

  -> Thanks, Desmond. It's however funny that you entered container as your own answer, although I had already given it here...

container


Explanation:
container - it seems as if this is a collection bin, or container, that is emptied into a hopper (bin). The hopper has a trapdoor underneath it.

If Jonathan uses "container", then Jussi should be awarded the points for this answer - that is anyway clear!
