Swing Bins

How to choose the right Swing Bins

• Match bin capacity to your waste volume; higher turnover kitchens may need multiple 50L units per area.
• Consider colour-coding to separate general waste, recyclables and food waste in line with your waste policy.
• Check available floor space and choose a footprint that fits corridors, prep areas or washrooms without causing obstructions.
• Decide on lid style and opening action to balance easy access with odour control and hygiene requirements.
• Look for robust commercial-grade construction that can cope with frequent emptying and cleaning by staff.
• Ensure compatibility with your preferred bin bag sizes to avoid tearing and reduce liner costs.

Care and maintenance

• Empty bins regularly to prevent overfilling, odours and strain on hinges or swing mechanisms.
• Clean inside and out with appropriate cleaning chemicals, then rinse and dry to maintain hygiene.
• Disinfect touch points and lid edges frequently in food prep and washroom areas to reduce cross-contamination.
• Inspect lids, hinges and bases for cracks or damage and replace worn parts or units promptly.
• Avoid abrasive pads that can scratch plastic or metal surfaces and harbour dirt and bacteria.
• Store spare bins and lids in a clean, dry area so replacements are ready during busy service periods.
