30 L Waste Sorting Bin 44.5 × 40.5 × 42.5 cm with Snap On Lid

A sorting bin only works if people actually use it, and people stop using the one they have to walk around. Height decides that, so the dimensions come first here.

What Are the Key Features of This 30 L Sorting Bin's Snap-On Lid?

• No side is over 44.5 cm: the three figures are 44.5, 40.5 and 42.5 cm, so whichever one is the height, this bin clears a kitchen worktop and a desk with room to spare.
• No side exceeds 44.5 cm: it goes flush to a wall and true into a corner, and several stand side by side in a line with no wedge of dead floor between them.
• Snap-on lid: it clamps onto the rim instead of sitting loose, so odour stays down and animals cannot lift it with their nose.
• Four lid colours: blue, yellow, red and black let anyone in the building sort correctly at a glance, so a separation system keeps working.
• 2 kg empty, 30 L full: light enough that a full bin is carried out rather than dragged across the floor tiles.

Where Can You Use This 30 L Waste Sorting Bin?

• Under a kitchen worktop, or in a pantry
• Along a garage wall, in a row
• In an office copy room
• In a school classroom or a workshop
• On a balcony, where the recycling waits for collection

Why Do Colour-Coded Lids Work Better Than Written Labels for Sorting Waste?

• It fits under the counter on any reading: no side exceeds 44.5 cm, so the lid sits low enough that nobody has to walk around it.
• The lid clamps: that is what makes it a bin you can leave on a balcony.
• Colour-coded lids outlast written labels: a cleaner, a child or a customer sorts correctly by colour without being taught.
• Plastic has no seam to corrode: on a metal bin, rinse water settles at the seam and never dries.

Details

Material & Build

• Plastic, heavy duty and impact resistant: built for dragging, knocks and being left wet.
• Smooth interior: a rinse takes the residue with it, and it takes a standard liner.

Dimensions

• 44.5 × 40.5 × 42.5 cm: three figures, unlabelled, given exactly as they stand.
• Maximum height: under 44.5 cm on any reading of those three figures, clears a worktop, a desk and a service counter.

Colours

• Blue, yellow, red and black lids: one colour per waste stream, which is how anyone in the building sorts correctly at a glance.

Care

• Rinse the smooth interior; it takes a standard liner.
