Things to consider when choosing a litterbin
Before choosing a litterbin there are number of things you should consider. Below are a few pointers, you should also consult the 'litterbin selection table' in the download section of the litterbin pages. Often what makes a litterbin ideal for one situation makes it inappropriate for another.
1. Budget
We manufacture litterbins to suit most budgets, each offering a different kind of value. Where budgets are tight we suggest one of our lighter construction mild steel bins. Where the emphasis is on premium materials and design we suggest stainless steel. In between we offer aluminium or heavy duty galvanized steel.
2. Durability
Consider whether the bin is likely to subjected to severe or harsh use. Is there a likelihood of vandalism? What kind of environmental conditions will it be exposed to? How frequently will it be emptied?
3. Capacity
How busy an area is/are the bins to be located in? How often will they be emptied? Answering these questions will determine whether a 40 litre or a 120 litre bin is more suitable.
4. Misuse
A common problem in many areas is the misuse of street litterbins where they are used as receptacles for domestic litter. To counter this many of our bins are available with restrictors.
5. Aesthetic
We offer a range of designs to cater for most environments. Many of our bins come with the option of different finishes making it possible to adapt to fit with a wide variety architectural styles.
6. Footprint
In some cases the width of the footpath or the volume of pedestrian traffic many significantly influence the choice of litterbin. We offer many shapes and sizes of bins to cater for this.
