Eurobin features and benefits
A Eurobin container means that rubbish does not need to be left on the floor. This creates a better impression for your customers and allows you to fulfil your duty of care obligations.
Most containers have a close fitting hinged lid that can be securely locked to keep smells in and vermin out.
- Eurobin containers - specifications
- Containers are easy to manoeuvre and load by hand, with a low loading height
- Containers are fitted with a drainage plug for ease of cleaning
