How to choose the right rubbish bin
Every workplace generates a substantial amount of waste. These unwanted materials must be correctly disposed of to ensure your workplace complies with government regulations. With the right rubbish bins, you can make sure that all your waste and recyclable materials are collected and disposed of correctly, and that your workshop or warehouse fully complies with the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
Recycling, pollutants, and commercial waste can be easily separated from each other using specific waste containers. For instance, plastic waste bins and bags are unsuitable for flammable materials or chemical residues. Instead, you should use industrial waste bins made from hot-dip galvanised steel sheets or stainless steel – both of which you can buy at Jungheinrich PROFISHOP.
Non-hazardous paper and cellulose waste, meanwhile, can be disposed of in any plastic rubbish bin or container found in our online store. Our practical bins also help you comply with the regulations introduced by the Environment Act 2021.
1. Different rubbish bins for different areas
Waste doesn’t just accumulate in factories and other industrial hubs – every part of your warehouse, workshop or office generates trash. This means you should be using both indoor and outdoor commercial waste bins on your premises. For indoor areas, the most suitable bins typically have a lid and close automatically via a pedal. This prevents unpleasant odours from seeping out and keeps the residual waste hidden from view.
There are also plenty of practical features that make it easier to transport and use warehouse or workshop waste bins, particularly in large buildings or vast industrial sites. For example, big rubbish bins typically have wheels, while small bins often have handles for carrying. Removable inserts that line the bin’s interior also make waste disposal a lot easier. At Jungheinrich PROFISHOP, you’ll find a wide range of commercial and industrial waste bins designed for a variety of materials and size requirements, as well as models tailored to professional needs:

2. Accessories for rubbish bins
At Jungheinrich PROFISHOP, we also offer a wide range of accessories for waste containers. For instance, you can buy robust bin lids in grey or blue to help you sort your waste and prevent nasty odours from escaping. Our plastic lids for recycling containers also come with a slot in the top for easy disposal of paper and card.
Alternatively, if it’s effortless transportation you’re after, a transport base with steering castors can make your work a lot easier. It can be attached to a wide range of commercial rubbish bins in your warehouse and allows you to move waste around with minimal effort.
3. Buy these rubbish bins at our online store

You can buy rubbish bins made of polyethylene (PE) or stainless steel from our online store.

With and without lids and made from easy-to-clean plastic or metal, rubbish bins from Jungheinrich PROFISHOP are designed for making rubbish collection simple.
Pedal waste bins
These practical rubbish bins are operated by a foot pedal, making them very hygienic and appropriate for industry use. Depending on the model, pedal bins can come in a range of varying capacities.

Our waste bins also feature lids that close automatically for better odour protection and to hide any rubbish from view.
