50L Colour-Coded Waste & Recycling Bin
This 50-litre plastic bin provides a straightforward collection point for everyday workplace waste. Its manual lift-up lid covers the opening, while the wipe-clean body suits regular emptying and cleaning rounds.
White, blue, green, yellow and red options let you match the bin to your site's chosen system. Use colours consistently and add clear labels so users understand which materials belong in each container.
Several bins can be grouped for separate waste streams in offices, schools and staff areas. Plan the arrangement around the materials accepted by your collection service, using our waste bins and sack holders range to compare formats for different locations.
Choose a liner that fits over the rim securely and reaches the base without excessive stretching. Check the dimensions and strength of suitable pedal and swing bin liners, rather than relying only on the capacity printed on their packaging.

Directions for Use
Choose colours and labels
Agree which waste stream each bin will collect and match the colour to your site procedure. Add a clear label explaining accepted contents, using the arrangements agreed with your waste collector.
Position and line the bin
Place the bin where it is convenient to use without blocking access. Allow space to lift the lid, then fit a suitable liner securely over the rim with enough depth to reach the base.
Collect and separate waste
Lift the lid by hand to deposit the appropriate materials. Check the contents during cleaning rounds and empty before the bag becomes overfilled or difficult to close and handle.
Clean the lid and body
Remove the used liner and clean any soiling with a product suitable for the plastic surfaces. Pay attention to the rim and lid contact points, then allow the bin to dry before fitting a fresh bag.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the bin's capacity?
The listed capacity is 50 litres. Choose an emptying schedule suited to the contents and how frequently the waste point is used, rather than waiting for every bag to fill completely.
Which colours can I select?
The listed options are white, blue, green, yellow and red. Select the colour that matches your site's system and label the bin so its intended use is clear.
Does it have a foot pedal?
No. This model uses a manual lift-up lid. Leave sufficient clearance above the bin for opening and routine bag changes.
Can it form part of a recycling station?
Yes, when each bin is labelled for an agreed waste stream. The colour does not determine accepted materials by itself; follow your collection service's requirements.
Will any 50-litre liner fit?
Not necessarily. Check the liner's width and depth against the rim and body, and choose a strength appropriate to the contents. A secure fit matters as much as the nominal capacity.
How should the bin be cleaned?
Wipe the lid, rim and body with a cleaner suitable for plastic and remove spills promptly. Include the commonly touched surfaces in routine cleaning and dry the bin before relining.
