Swing Bins

Swing Bins provide a simple, hygienic way to manage general waste in busy commercial environments. This range includes colour-coded polypropylene swing bins and robust metal options in a choice of capacities to suit any space. Ideal for restaurant kitchens, cafes, hotels, offices and healthcare sites, they support clear waste segregation and tidy work areas. Hands-free or minimal-contact lids help reduce cross-contamination and keep hygiene standards high throughout service.

• Colour-coded polypropylene swing bins to support clear waste segregation and HACCP routines.
• Medium-capacity 50L bins ideal for kitchens, staff rooms and washrooms with steady footfall.
• Durable construction designed to withstand daily use in commercial catering and contract cleaning.
• Smooth, easy-wipe surfaces that simplify cleaning and help maintain professional hygiene standards.
• Compact footprints that fit neatly against walls or under counters to save valuable floor space.
• Suitable for restaurants, cafes, hotels, offices, schools and healthcare facilities across Ireland.

How to choose the right Swing Bins

• Match bin capacity to your waste volume; higher turnover kitchens may need multiple 50L units per area.
• Consider colour-coding to separate general waste, recyclables and food waste in line with your waste policy.
• Check available floor space and choose a footprint that fits corridors, prep areas or washrooms without causing obstructions.
• Decide on lid style and opening action to balance easy access with odour control and hygiene requirements.
• Look for robust commercial-grade construction that can cope with frequent emptying and cleaning by staff.
• Ensure compatibility with your preferred bin bag sizes to avoid tearing and reduce liner costs.

Care and maintenance

• Empty bins regularly to prevent overfilling, odours and strain on hinges or swing mechanisms.
• Clean inside and out with appropriate cleaning chemicals, then rinse and dry to maintain hygiene.
• Disinfect touch points and lid edges frequently in food prep and washroom areas to reduce cross-contamination.
• Inspect lids, hinges and bases for cracks or damage and replace worn parts or units promptly.
• Avoid abrasive pads that can scratch plastic or metal surfaces and harbour dirt and bacteria.
• Store spare bins and lids in a clean, dry area so replacements are ready during busy service periods.
