Build Around the Waste Stream

Put the right bin where the waste is created

Effective workplace recycling starts by understanding what is actually being thrown away in each area. A bank of desks, staff kitchen, print room and outdoor entrance can all need different waste solutions.

Positioning appropriate containers together, using clear identification and matching capacity to real waste volumes can make separation easier while helping prevent overflowing bins and unnecessary collections.

Make recycling easier to get right

Clear recycling points can make waste separation simpler for staff and visitors. Choose containers around the waste produced in each part of the workplace instead of using the same bin everywhere.

Centralised Recycling Points

Make the correct bin the easiest bin to use

A clearly positioned multi-stream station can often be easier to understand than unrelated bins scattered around a workplace. Place relevant streams together so people can make a clear choice at the point of disposal.

Colour coding, signage and different apertures can help identify each waste stream. Your internal setup should also reflect the way your waste contractor collects and processes materials.

Waste separation is becoming a bigger part of everyday facilities management

Workplaces increasingly need clearer arrangements for recyclable materials, food waste and residual waste. A practical internal bin system can make those collection arrangements much easier for staff to follow.

Requirements can vary by location and organisation, so always check current official guidance and confirm the waste streams accepted by your collection provider before changing your setup.
