How we collect
- A full range of Eurobin containers can be offered from 360 litres to 1280 litres.
- For smaller businesses and those with less space, recycling labels can be used for cardboard, and clear recycling sacks for mixed recyclables.
- Recycling labels can also be used for plastic film/bags/bubble wrap, which should be squashed and bundled.
Cages that are owned by business (not provided by the council) should be flat packed with cardboard.
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
