Waste bins

Waste bins in smaller capacities — from office models to 60 litres and above — are ideal for use inside buildings, in staff rooms, schools and public offices. The range includes metal and plastic bins, pedal bins (for hygienic, hands-free lid opening) and compact models for fitting inside kitchen cabinets.

Waste bins form part of our range in the waste and recycling section, alongside specialist containers and winter maintenance accessories.

This is everyday equipment, which we select based on a capacity suited to the footfall in a given room and ease of cleaning. Companies, public offices and educational institutions most often choose pedal bins and heavy-duty metal models from us.

When choosing a waste bin for indoor use, the first criterion should be the function of the room, not just appearance — a bin for an office kitchen or staff room serves a different purpose from one placed in a reception area or conference room, where a discreet, tidy look matters most.

The material affects not only durability but also ease of cleaning. Metal bins, particularly stainless steel ones, withstand frequent washing and disinfection well, making them a natural choice for medical rooms, kitchens and washrooms. Plastic models are lighter and less expensive, and work well where portability is the priority, for example when cleaning many small offices one after another.

Lid opening is another important selection criterion — pedal models limit hand contact with the bin surface, which is important for hygiene in rooms with stricter sanitary requirements, while open bins without lids are suited to places where speed of use matters, such as at employees' desks or in classrooms.

Capacity should be chosen based on the actual footfall in a given room, not just its floor area — a small, occasionally used meeting room needs a smaller bin than an open-plan office where a dozen or more people generate waste throughout the day. Insufficient capacity combined with infrequent cleaning leads to overflowing before the next round.

More and more companies and institutions want indoor bins to support waste separation at the workstation itself, not just at a designated collection point at the end of the corridor — hence the growing popularity of sets combining a general waste bin with a separate paper container, placed together by desks or in staff kitchens.

When selecting a specific model, it is also worth considering visual consistency with the rest of the interior furnishings — in modern office buildings, metal bins in muted colours blend better with office furniture than brightly coloured plastic models, which in turn suit more relaxed, informal spaces such as staff canteens or break rooms.
