Recycling Bins are essential for environmentally sound waste management. It is important to encourage and facilitate waste separation, and we have an exciting range of solutions available for your business.

Recycling in the Office


When it comes to organising waste separation, there are various ways to go about it. You can install either a ready-made recycling station, use colour-coded lids with recycling labels, or place lids with specific-shaped openings on a group of bins nested together. Some containers are ordered with multi-shape options in the lid for collecting two kinds of litter.

Waste can be placed easily into an open-top bin, and these items tend to be well priced. The colour or graphics on the opening will explain what is being collected. Options include the “Standard Recycle Bin,” “Recycling Bins” and “Economy Recycling Bins.” In some cases, the lid price is separate.

When it comes to bins with lids, there is a variety of shaped openings on a colour-coded lid. For example, a colour-coded lid with a paper slot can be placed near a copier in an office environment, and the shape of its opening will discourage non-paper use. Labels on the lid or a coloured bin liner sack will also give visual clues as to what is being sorted.

Sometimes, a combination-lid is a good option – for example, the standard envirobin. These have a good choice of specific openings to separate waste, and the cup bin option features a collection point for liquids. In this range, the “confidential paper” collection lid comes complete with lock, as it does for the mini envirobin. For areas with a high use of plastic cups, you could use a specific cup bin that has slots inside to stack cups efficiently.

When it is more appropriate to have a closing lid, the recycling centre bin is a unit that has a lightly sprung flap, while the clear recycling bin has a foot pedal. It also comes with a removable body for ease of emptying. Other options include push button recycling bins and several lift-top types of bin. A great feature of the recycling centre bin is that it can be ordered with an optional metal liner.

You will find most lid options come with graphics or a selection of labels to attach. There could be a recycling sign put up nearby, since it is important that there be no confusion about what goes where – otherwise any recycling efforts will be compromised because of mixed waste.

The use of bins with wheels, or those that can be placed on trolleys will make collection and transport easier. To keep and move them together, the various trolleys each have options for linking them together. If there is limited space, use Stackable Recycle Boxes, which can also have wheels fitted, or a narrow bin such as those in the “Rubbermaid Slim Jim” range or the “Push Button” range.

With the options available, it is a simple matter to create a recycling bank by grouping a series of bins or even simple sack holders together. Specific lids or stickers show what is being collected. It is simple to install the large, ready-designed “Rubbermaid Recycling Station.”

All types of Sackholders can be an effective device for recycling, and may be used with either clear or coloured sacks.

Indoor Recycling Bins – UK laws on waste


There are currently no laws in the UK compelling organisations or individuals to separate waste or use a recycling sign and plastic bins to impose recycling systems. However, local authorities are tasked with providing thorough recycling that’s accessible to businesses in their area. By introducing workplace waste management – including the best indoor recycling bins – you help your local council fulfill its obligations to separate glass, paper and card, plastic, metal, and garden waste. That also includes food waste you place in kitchen recycling bins.

Also, buying indoor recycling bins - and adding a helpful recycling label on each one - could be part of compliance with other legislation. For example, you may need separate indoor recycling bins and a recycling sign UK companies use to signify confidential waste, to adhere to the GDPR. However, specifying a range of indoor recycling bins for your building could well be simply an ethical consideration. Also, displaying a recycling sign could be part of efforts to demonstrate your sustainability policy.

Keeping indoor recycling bins ‘fresh

’-

By this, we don’t mean having a regular cleaning schedule for indoor recycling bins; though that’s essential, especially for kitchen recycling bins! (Fortunately, well-made plastic bins from our range are easy-clean.)
The title refers to making sure your building users notice your indoor recycling bins. No matter how inexpensive indoor recycling bins are, when you invest in them and go to the trouble of adding a recycling sign, and appropriate recycling label, you want people to comply. Even the best designed indoor recycling bins can start to get ignored.

One of the most fundamental ways to avoid this, and keep your waste management on track, is to place indoor recycling bins in convenient, easy to see locations, supported by the correct recycling label if necessary. Don’t assume an understanding of colour coded indoor recycling bins. A recycling sign UK people can recognise – with a universal graphic – makes things clearer.

Make sure your indoor recycling bins don’t get obscured or moved, reducing their impact. The same applies to that recycling sign UK people understand. It is worth mentioning too that indoor recycling bins must be emptied regularly. Again, this is vital for kitchen recycling bins. However, overflowing or packed indoor recycling bins of any type will suggest it is a token gesture, or too problematic to use.

Depending on the type of plastic bin and recycling label, it’s important to have a schedule of checks too. This could help you to gauge when you need to buy new, bigger indoor recycling bins, or could indicate that staff are ignoring your policy, bin and recycling sign.

Make sure you get indoor recycling bins that support or improve productivity. This could be indoor recycling bins on wheels, for instance, with a clear recycling label if necessary or colour coded lid. Your indoor recycling bins will get underused if getting to them is disruptive or tricky.

Plastic bins are lightweight, but full plastic bins can be heavy, so having wheels on indoor recycling bins can also assist with ease of emptying. Plastic bins that all look the same cause confusion and lack of compliance. Contact us if you need help choosing indoor recycling bins with colour identifiers and those recycling signs UK people look for. If need be, retro-fit a recycling label to bins to make its purpose clear, and create an at a glance array of purposeful indoor recycling bins.
