Recycling Bins

Recycling Bins are essential for organised, compliant waste sorting in busy commercial environments. This range covers slimline containers, pedal bins, swing lids, recycling stations and specialist cup recycling units for hospitality and workplace use. Ideal for kitchens, cafes, canteens, offices, schools and industrial sites, these bins help keep waste areas tidy and easy to manage. Durable construction and practical features support hygiene, speed of service and safer handling for your team.

• Commercial recycling bins from leading brands such as Rubbermaid and Jantex for reliable daily use.
• Slim Jim style containers in multiple capacities, perfect for corridors, tight spaces and back of house waste stations.
• Pedal and step-on bins that provide hands-free operation for hygienic use in food preparation and service areas.
• Colour coded lids and recycling station starter kits to support clear waste segregation front and back of house.
• Dedicated cup recycling bins and multi-bin bundles for high volume coffee shops, canteens and self-service sites.
• Heavy duty plastic bodies with venting channels and bag cinches to make liner changes faster and safer for staff.

How to choose the right Recycling Bins

• Match bin capacity to your waste volume, from compact 56 litre units to larger 80 to 90 litre bins for shared kitchens and canteens.
• Consider the footprint and shape: choose slimline models for corridors and tight spaces, or rectangular bins for fixed recycling stations.
• Select lid styles to suit service: swing lids and open tops for high traffic areas, or closed and colour coded lids for controlled sorting.
• Opt for pedal or step-on bins in food prep zones where hands-free operation supports HACCP and hygiene standards.
• Check material strength and build quality, choosing reinforced commercial-grade plastic for demanding, high turnover environments.
• Plan your waste streams in advance so you can combine individual bins or bundles into a clear, easy-to-follow recycling system.

Care and maintenance

• Clean bin bodies, lids and pedals regularly with appropriate cleaning chemicals to control odours and maintain hygiene.
• Use correctly sized liners and secure them with bag cinches where available to prevent tearing and spills during removal.
• Rinse and clear venting channels frequently so bags release smoothly and staff do not need to overexert when lifting.
• Inspect hinges, pedals and wheels or dollies for wear, replacing damaged parts promptly to keep bins safe and easy to move.
• Avoid harsh abrasives that can scratch plastic surfaces; use non-scratch pads to preserve appearance in front of house areas.
• Store spare bins and lids in a dry, clean area so they are ready for peak periods or seasonal increases in waste volume.
