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.
