Benefits of Wheelie Bin Storage
Everyone needs to consider wheelie bin storage, whether you are a homeowner or a business owner. According to the Department for Environmental Food & Rural Affairs it is estimated that the UK generated 43.9 million tonnes of commercial and industrial waste in 2018 (latest figures). There are many benefits to ensuring you have the correct waste bin for your property or premises. Such as:
- They are easy to manoeuvre and put out on collection days. All our TUFF Wheelie Bin Range has easy glide manoeuvrable wheels.
- They have less potential to cause injury to yourself or employees.
- They organise the home and work environment by removing clutter.
- Keeps your rubbish tidy, out of view and protected from weather elements.
- They are colour coded to make recycling and identification easy.

Blue wheelie bins are mostly used for household and commercial recycling waste. Such as paper, card, drinks and food cans. Some local councils use yellow wheelie bins for the collection of waste. The majority of users you will find are in hospitals, GP surgeries, or health centres. This is because yellow wheelie bins are for the storage of clinical waste.Red waste bins are generally used by some councils to collect mixed recyclables.
