Recycling containers that make segregation simple and visible
Recycling containers help teams separate materials at the point of use so less ends up in general waste and audits run smoothly. At AJ Products UK, our range spans compact stations for desks and canteens, robust options for workshops and back-of-house, and mobile units for busy routes — practical recycling solutions that keep floors clear and habits consistent. Many models feature colour-coded lids or pedals, removable inner liners with handles, wipe-clean plastics and supplied labels, while larger wheelie styles include stable wheels and generous capacities to handle everyday workplace demands.
Where waste starts, build recycling systems that staff will actually use
Sorting sticks when the right option is right there. Put capture points beside workcells, print areas and canteens and make the choice obvious with clear apertures and consistent colours; set up quick, correct separation with waste sorting bins early in the layout so materials are split at source. Drawing on our existing centres-and-labels approach, modular stations can be placed side-by-side, each clearly marked, so staff don’t have to second-guess where things go.
For heavy or bulky streams, choose recycling solutions built for movement
Glass and high-volume waste need tougher handling to stay tidy and safe. Keep back-of-house clear and transfers efficient by positioning robust bottle handling near points of use; move glass safely with bottle skips to reduce spills, limit double-handling and shorten collection runs. For general bulk, wheelie units with colour-coded lids and included labels make it easy to create your own recycling centre, while durable plastics and large wheels help bins travel smoothly between areas.
Keep bin and recycling storage obvious — and routes uncluttered
People use what’s convenient and visible. Place clearly labelled stations at decision points like aisle heads, canteens and copier bays; make the right bin the easy choice with clearly signed recycling bins. Features such as removable inner containers with handles simplify emptying and cleaning, stainless finishes add durability where hygiene matters, and right-sized capacities prevent overflow — keeping floors clear, odours down and day-to-day sorting effortless.
