With the use of steel, plastic and cracks that usually occur on plastic are not a problem. Galvanized steel is also more resistant to bumps and is durable to impact resistance unlike plastic which usually cracks and breaks . The small cracks on the plastic can worsen once it is already affected by outside elements. The galvanized wheelie bins are also more resistant against misuse and abuse which is common among waste receptacles.

How to Choose the Right Wheelie Bins   no comments

Posted at 4:28 pm in Cleaning Tips

If you’ve decide that a wheelie bin will be better than a traditional steel or plastic bin, then you’ll want to make sure that you get the right one.


Here’s what you need to consider.


1. You’ll need to know what you’ll use your wheelie bins for. Household waste, commercial waste, recycling, and old products or components might require different sorts of wheeled bins.


2. The capacity of your bin is important. You won’t want a bin that’s too small as it will constantly need emptying, but a bin that’s too large can be hard to fill and empty.


3. It’s important that the bin is easy to fill. Having a huge heavy lid won’t make it easy to get rubbish and waste products in to the bins. You might want to be able to put a lock on the bin too, especially if you’re disposing of food, valuable, or dangerous products.


4. You’ll need to be able to empty your bin easily. Perhaps is will collected by your council waste collection service, or many you’ll need to be able to dispose of it yourself.


5. Remember that you bin needs to be left outside in all weathers, and so size is important. You’ll need to find some where somewhere sheltered so that it won’t blow over in the wind, and yet easy to reach as you won’t want to have tor walk far to put your rubbish in the bin.


6. It’s essential that your wheelie bin is durable, and looks like it will last a long time. These bins will have a hard life, and so you’ll want a bin that’s up to the job.


7. You might want to have different coloured wheelie bins instead of the traditional black ones. Why not brighten up your day with coloured some coloured bins?


8. Perhaps you’ll be using different bins for different sorts of waste, or for different sorts recycling. You could use coloured bins so that it’s easy to see what waste goes where.


9. You could also have your company logo printed on your wheelie bins for additional advertising, and so that your bins don’t go missing.


10. It’s important that you get the right bins, and that you don’t buy on cost alone. You’ll need to make sure you get value for money. The cheapest wheelie bins might not really be big enough, or durable, and hard to empty.


Now you know what to look for, you’ll be able to choose the right wheelie bins.
