More and more offices and businesses are becoming aware of the need to be more environmentally friendly and work with a more eco-friendly ethos behind them. Recycling is part of this process and as many people spend a large proportion of their lives at the office or workplace, recycling here can have huge benefits to the environment.

We consume a lot of items at work, from sandwiches and snacks, to hot drinks, cans of pop, and confectionery. We also use a lot of recyclable material at the office such as paper, which can be recycled. And by recycling at work, more people can also be encouraged to recycle at home too which can lead to a better environment for everybody.

The key to a successful recycling regime around the workplace is ensuring the staff have the facilities to dispose of things properly, and recycling bins are the prime piece of equipment to achieve this.

A variety of different solutions and designs of recycling bin are available and selecting the appropriate ones is very much individual to each business and the processes and facilities they offer.

For instance, offices that have vending machines often have a glut of polystyrene, plastic or paper cups. These can be disposed of in cup collectors, which can be supplied with or without a flask to allow unwanted contents to be disposed off.

Similarly, a lot of offices have vending machines of canned drinks and these too, have a specialist can bank that can collect the recyclable cans ready for recycling.

Paper too can be collected in paper recycling bins and even documents with private or confidential information on them can be stored for shredding in lockable recycling bins, which will go along way to ensure an office is in keeping with the Data Protection Act.

For general waste, office recycling bins often come in multiple colours. This enables you to have a rule for what can be disposed of in each bin. Plastics in one, paper in another, food waste in a third, etc etc. Increasingly, local authorities are expecting businesses to recycle and provide recycling bins for use, but by offices having their own, the waste can be separated before it has to be emptied, saving valuable time and a lot of mess. Outdoor recycling bins are also available and these too can be colour coded to provide a simple way of describing what goes into each bin.

With spring around the corner it is a good time to begin preparing the garden for the warmer months. At this time of year a lot of garden waste can have built up over the winter and not only can it take a lot of work to get things in order, a decent gardening bin is required to get rid of the waste.

Increasingly, local councils are insisting that garden waste is disposed of separately to household waste, this is because it is degradable and can be used to make mulch, compost and other organic materials used in agriculture. This means that a separate bin is needed for the garden and with larger gardens, a good-sized garden bin is pretty much essential to keep the garden clear as the amount of waste like mown grass, weeding and other gardening activities produce can soon build up.

There are several different designs of gardening bin to choose from and they come in a wide variety of sizes too. Many garden waste bins are similar to the traditional dustbin, although commonly they are coloured green to help users identify the type of waste that goes into it, although any colour can be used for the job.

A good lid is important for a gardening bin as some waste in the garden can begin to rot and smell and will prevent wind from blowing grass cuttings and other waste around the garden after you have cleared it up.

These dustbin-type bins can be difficult to move around so increasingly wheelie bins are being used which allow householders to wheel the garden waste from the back to the front of the house ready for collection.

The streets of the UK are awash with rubbish at the moment. So many areas, from Birmingham to Exeter, Milton Keynes to Thame, mountains of rubbish remains uncollected – some areas not having a collection for over a month.

Caused by the winter weather disruption and council strikes, the waste is becoming a problem in many areas, attracting vermin and providing an unsightly hazard for residents. And many home-owners are feeling rightly aggrieved at having paid their council tax bills, while the local authorities are failing to provide the services they have been paid to do.

Waste left on the streets can cause a myriad of problems. Not only is it unsightly, with mountains of bin bags dumped on corners, but it can have further consequences too. Vermin is attracted to rubbish and many of the uncollected bin bags are ripped open as cats, foxes and even rats scavenge for food.

And while many areas now have wheelie bins, these barely have enough space for one weeks worth of rubbish, let alone a months worth, with the result being bin bags piling up on the streets next to the packed wheelie bins.

While councils have promised to clear the streets of rubbish over the next few weeks, many local authorities may suffer in the forthcoming local elections as disgruntled residents mark their protests in the ballot box.

And with more and more rubbish being collected each year, this is a problem that may soon become common, especially as Coalition cuts may generate more strikes and forecasters suggest harsher winters may be more frequent in the future.

But what can house-holders do to help alleviate the problem? Well one way is to ensure you recycle as much as possible. If you don’t already own any its perhaps a good time to buy recycling bins. By recycling we can drastically reduce much of the waste we throw away and its not just the obvious paper and glass that can be recycled too.

Metal, plastic bottles (in some areas) and food waste can all be recycled rather than thrown away in the rubbish bin. As recycling bins tend to be colour coded, they are simple and easy to use, taking little getting used to.

By using recycling bins you can drastically reduce the waste you throw away and can help prevent the build up of waste that is now littering our streets.

As offices are busy places, where people can spend a large proportion of their working lives, they are also busy places for rubbish and waste. Office bins have to cope with a wide variety of waste and choosing office bins can be a challenge, especially with more emphasis on recycling. So knowing what bin to buy and for where can be quite difficult.

In sourcing office bins, you need to establish the types of rubbish and locations of the bins. In most modern offices the majority of waste that is disposed of is paper so a good paper recycling bin is essential.

These come in a variety of shapes and sizes and if you re worried about security, lockable paper recycling bins are available that can store paper data securely until it is time to be shredded. You can either choose to provide under the desk waste paper baskets for individuals, or have a larger paper recycling bin for the whole office – it depends on the numbers that work there and the distance involved in disposing of the litter.

Other items that can be recycled are common around offices too. Paper and polystyrene cups often litter many offices. These small vending cups can often be recycled and cup collectors and bins are a good idea anywhere where you have these sorts of vending machines. The same can be said for aluminium drinks cans which can also be recycled. Can banks are another must if you have a soft drinks machine.

Often office workers eat at their desks so somewhere for food packaging and non recyclables should be considered. A good-sized general waste bin is normally sufficient.

Outdoor areas need some sort of litter bin too, especially if office workers are smoking outside. Wall-mounted ashtrays are a good idea, this prevents the littering of cigarette ends around office entrances and are easily mounted onto most wall surfaces.

Wall mounted ashtrays are now essential outside

A good exterior bin is also a good idea, not just for people to dispose of items when they are on their way in or out, but having a large exterior bin where indoor bins can be emptied into will ensure the indoor bins can be regularly emptied.

When sourcing office bins the internet is perhaps the best resource/ There are a wide range of office bins available on the internet so check and compare prices and remember delivery times and costs too to ensure you don’t go over budget.

While Christmas is a period of giving and receiving, with retailers experiencing the busiest time of the year, it is also a period when we throw far more rubbish out than at any other time. Rubbish bins are often full to bursting at this time of year as we all throw out packaging, cards, Christmas trees and food.

All this can be a bad time for the environment, as much of what we throw away ends up on landfill sites. But there are ways of recycling your Christmas rubbish and cutting down on what you throw away.

Christmas Trees

Every year nearly ten million Christmas trees are bought and disposed of each year, many of which are simply thrown away into the rubbish bin; however, Christmas trees are easy to recycle and provide useful materials such as wood chippings.

Many councils offer a collection and recycling service for Christmas trees but failing that, most household recycling centres will have somewhere for trees to be recycled.

Packaging and Gift Wrapping

Thousands of tonnes of wrapping paper is also thrown away each year. Sadly, the majority of gift wrapping cannot be recycled as the ink and sticky tape that covers it is too difficult to remove. You could of course look for better alternatives to the coloured wrapping paper, or try and reuse it rather than just throw it in the waste bin.

Excess packaging is also a problem at this time of year, and many people are now being careful of the products they buy are not full of excess packaging. Fortunately, a lot of it can be recycled so make sure you use the recycling bin and not just dump it in the dustbin.

Christmas Cards

Nearly a billion Christmas cards are bought and sent each year and many of these cards can easily be recycled, so again, use the recycling bins, not the dustbin.

Food Waste

While most of us eat and drink a little too much at Christmas, we also throw away tonnes of unwanted food. Try and buy less this year but if you do end up with too much food think of other ways of getting rid of it such as composting rather than just dumping it in the rubbish bin.

Recycling bins are inexpensive and look great

All kinds of recycling bins are available for around the home and if you have not got one yet, look around, especially on the internet, as you may be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to find low cost recycling bins.

Recycling is becoming more and more important all the time. Not just around the home, but offices and workplaces are increasingly being encouraged to cut down on waste and recycle more. One of the difficulties both home-owners and businesses face, however, is how to encourage the family members and workers to follow suit.

One of the best methods of encouraging recycling is to replace the regular waste bins and buy recycling bins, which will actively force people to throw the right items in the right bins.

Recycling bins come in all sorts of variations and styles. Many are designed from home use but there is a wide selection of larger recycling bins ideal for the office and workplace.

There is, in truth, little difference between a recycling bin and a conventional rubbish bin, however, many recycling bins are colour coded, which means you can set-up your own rules as to what goes into each.

For instance, by replacing the kitchen bin with two-or-three recycling bins, each with a different colour lid, you can instruct the family members, to say, dispose of food waste in one colour, paper and wrappers in another, and perhaps tin cans and bottles in the third.

You can even match the colours with the schemes operated by your local council and it will save time when it comes to emptying the kitchen bin into the main recycling bins outside.

The same can be done around the workplace too. Recycling bins can be designated paper only, while others can be used for disposing of the cans or polystyrene coffee cups that can build so quickly around the workplace.

You can even get specialist receptacles for disposing of these items with cup collectors, bottle and can banks and even paper recycling bins.  While many offices have documents they need to hold securely, you can buy lockable paper recycling  bins to ensure your documents are kept safe until they are shredded and disposed of.

Lockable paper recycling bin

Recycling bins can be modern in design and style too. Often with contemporary designs they can look far better than the dowdy old dustbins so many workplaces use, and for the home there are a wide range of different styles to choose from to suit almost any décor of home.

Recycling bins are readily available on the internet and are inexpensive and will go a long way to ensure the rising costs of waste management in both business and domestic environments will not cause your home or business to suffer financially when you are eventually forced into recycling.

In this world of climate change and worry over wasting resources, recycling is an increasingly popular way for ordinary people to help do their bit towards keeping the planet a nice place to live.

Most councils now provide recycling services as well as their normal refuse collection and often they will provide you with the bins to do this, making recycling your household waste really easy. While the colour of these bins (as well as the general provision of said bins) varies between local authorities, as a general rule: the bins you use for your normal rubbish will be black, the paper bin will be blue and the bin for any garden waste will be green.

Even if such services aren’t available where you live, it can be a good idea to set up your own colour-coordinated bin system if you’re looking to recycle produce and cut down on the amount of waste you throw away. Ultimately, your colour system is up to you and doesn’t really matter as long as you can remember which bin is which. If your council also provides some recycling bins, it might be worth keeping your colour scheme close to theirs so there won’t be any confusion when they come to collect the waste. When you’re separating out your waste, make sure you have provision for: paper and cardboard, plastic, glass, recyclable metals such as aluminium, garden waste and general rubbish.

Having separate bins for each thing means it’s easy to tell what’s what, but there is the potential for you to end up with quite a bit of clutter.

One option you could consider for a more compact solution is the segregated bin, which comes with different compartments for different types of rubbish. These are increasingly common in public spaces and office buildings and they come in a wide range of styles so you can choose one that’s sleek and stylish. Make sure you buy one that’s clearly labelled so you don’t have to worry about people putting rubbish in the wrong segment.

Also, make sure all of your bins close securely to avoid spillages if they get tipped over. This will also help to contain any smells if the bin is hanging around for a while between recycling sessions. If they are stored outside, it will also help prevent rats or other animals getting inside the bins and causing you problems.

There was a time that on an evening the day before the binmen came we didn’t have to do a thing. Early in the morning, the dustmen would come down the garden bath, take our sturdy dustbin and empty into the back of the waste compactor.

Things, however, have changed. Most of us now have to wheel our own bins onto the side of the road for the refuse collectors to empty. We then have to wheel it back. Furthermore, few of us have just one bin as recycling is now part and parcel of our rubbish collections.

Some people find recycling quite difficult and a bit of chore. Having to empty different items into the bin once a week. However, the key to recycling is to ensure you have interior recycling bins so you can separate recycled material as you throw it away.

There are two approaches to this. The first is to buy recycling bins for different materials. Recycling bins with colour coded lids are available to help you establish a rule for what can be thrown into each bin.

There is a variety of styles, shapes and size of recycling bin and some look quite modern and contemporary. The variety means you should be able to find recycling bins that suit you home.

The second method is to buy a recycling bin with multiple compartments. These are better for people in smaller homes where space is concern. They come in double or triple compartments each with a different colour lid. These too, come in various sizes and styles.

Stylish colour coded recycling bins

While most local authorities provide exterior recycling bins, not all do and some provide cartons that can easily get blown or knocked over. There is, however, nothing stopping you from buying your own external recycling bin which you can then empty into the proper receptacles when the time is required.

A lot of householders do this who don’t want too many bins in their home and don’t mind emptying the indoor recycling bins regularly.

Recycling bins are easy to use and are now a prerequisite for most householders so if you have not yet got a set in your home perhaps its time to start thinking about getting them.
