Bins

Bins are essential for safe, hygienic and efficient waste management in every professional kitchen, bar, hotel and facility. This range covers commercial waste bins in multiple capacities, from compact back-of-house units to large front-of-house and outdoor models. Choose from pedal, push-top and swing lid designs to suit your workflow and hygiene requirements. Robust materials and smooth surfaces make these bins easy to clean and ideal for demanding hospitality environments.

• Pedal bins for hands-free operation in kitchens, prep areas and washrooms where hygiene is critical.
• Swing and push-top bins that allow quick, convenient waste disposal in bars, canteens and staff areas.
• Rubbermaid Slim Jim bins and other space-saving designs for tight corridors, beside counters and dishwash areas.
• Heavy-duty waste bins, waste trucks and bottle trolleys for bulk rubbish, recyclables and glass collection.
• Sack trolleys and dollies to move loaded bins safely and efficiently through busy sites.
• Indoor and outdoor bins, including fire-resistant and secure containment options for higher-risk locations.

How to choose the right Bins

• Match bin capacity to your waste volume and collection schedule to avoid overfilling and frequent emptying.
• Decide between pedal, swing or push-top mechanisms based on hygiene needs and how staff interact with the bin.
• Measure available floor space and consider slim or compact bins for corridors, under counters and tight back-of-house areas.
• Choose materials and construction suitable for indoor, outdoor or high-risk locations, including fire-resistant options where required.
• Plan for waste segregation with colour-coded bins or separate units for general waste, recyclables and glass.
• Consider mobility needs and add waste trucks, bottle trolleys or sack trolleys for safer transport of heavy loads.

Care and maintenance

• Empty bins regularly and use correctly sized bin bags to prevent leaks, odours and overloading.
• Clean and disinfect bin interiors, lids and pedals frequently, especially in food preparation and service areas.
• Inspect wheels, handles and pedal mechanisms for wear and damage, replacing parts to maintain safe operation.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners on plastic surfaces to prevent scratching and harbouring of bacteria.
• Store outdoor bins on level ground and secure lids to deter pests and prevent wind-blown waste.
• Train staff on correct lifting and moving techniques when handling heavy bins, or use trolleys to reduce strain.
