Parks and outdoors spaces have never been more important to society. Whether it is to clear the mind or exercise the dog, public open space is an important part of our lives.
The need for robust but attractive bin housings in these public spaces is critical for parks managers.
Bins need to be secure to prevent vandalism and encased in fire retardant housings to reduce damage or a blaze spreading. A key issue in parks is careless disposal of barbecue charcoals which if still smouldering can set a bin on fire and risk spreading to adjoining buildings or parked cars where more significant damage can occur.
The most common issue for site managers though is litter. If bins are not being conveniently located or difficult to use because of having to lift lids, then the public will often simply drop their litter.
metroSTOR bin stores are neat and stylish and designed to cope with all these issues, as well as boost recycling levels at the open space. The company works with more than 150 local authorities and social housing landlords and is experienced at creating solutions for litter and recycling in multiple scenarios.
With a range of materials and cladding options available, litter and recycling bin housings can complement the setting, or stand out and make a statement, as required by the location manager.
