Waste Bins

Waste Bins are essential for safe, hygienic waste management in busy commercial kitchens, bars, hotels and canteens. This range includes pedal, push-top and swing bins in a choice of capacities to suit everything from compact washrooms to high-volume prep areas. You will also find matching lids, labels, bin liners and mobility accessories to keep waste streams clearly organised and easy to move. Built from robust polypropylene, stainless steel and other hard-wearing materials, these bins are designed for intensive daily use while supporting a clean, professional environment.

• Pedal and push-top waste bins that allow hands-free operation to reduce cross-contamination in food prep and wash areas.
• Swing-top waste bins that offer quick, convenient access for staff and customers while keeping rubbish discreetly covered.
• Slim bins and compact waste bins ideal for tight spaces, washrooms, under-counter use and front-of-house locations.
• Colour-coded lids, labels and recycling stickers to clearly separate general waste, food waste, mixed recycling and paper/card.
• Durable bin liners and compostable bags sized to fit commercial waste bins for clean, efficient emptying.
• Mobile dollies and trolleys that make transporting larger waste containers safer and faster across your premises.

How to choose the right Waste Bins

• Match bin capacity to your waste volume and collection schedule, choosing larger sizes for busy kitchens and smaller bins for washrooms or guest areas.
• Decide between pedal, push-top or swing lids based on hygiene needs, with hands-free options best for food prep and healthcare environments.
• Consider footprint and shape, using slim or square bins where space is limited and round bins where access from multiple sides is required.
• Use colour-coded bins, lids and labels to separate general waste, food waste and recyclables in line with your waste management policy.
• Select materials such as stainless steel for premium front-of-house areas and tough polypropylene for back-of-house and outdoor use.
• Check compatibility with existing bin liners, trolleys and recycling systems to streamline your overall cleaning routine.

Care and maintenance

• Empty bins regularly and replace liners before they are overfilled to prevent spills, odours and strain on staff.
• Clean and disinfect internal and external surfaces frequently, following food safety and HACCP guidelines where applicable.
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals on stainless steel bins to prevent scratching and corrosion; use suitable non-scratch cleaners instead.
• Inspect lids, pedals and hinges for damage or stiffness and replace worn components promptly to maintain hands-free operation.
• Rinse and dry dollies and trolleys after heavy use to prevent build-up of dirt and to keep wheels running smoothly.
• Store spare bins, lids and liners in a clean, dry area away from food to maintain hygiene and extend product life.
