In any hospitality and foodservice business, efficiency is key. From taking orders and prepping the food, to cleaning up at the end of the night, every minute counts and kitchen space is often at a premium.
What difference can your bins make? With England’s Simpler Recycling legislation requiring business to separate waste – including food – for recycling, finding the right bins for your kitchen is critical for compliant waste management that doesn’t get in the way.
Whether you need a tidy under-counter bin or a high-capacity container to handle large volumes of food waste, we can help you find the right bin for your venue. Let's take a closer look at the top three bins we recommend for kitchens.
1. Slim Jim® Step-On
Slim Jim® Step-On keeps your kitchen clean, compliant and hygienic. The close-fitting lid controls odours, while the step-on pedal promotes better hygiene through touch-free operation.
These bins are available in durable resin or sleek stainless steel, both with a 5-year warranty to give you peace of mind they’ll be able stand up to the tough demands of a commercial kitchen. The sizes range from 15L up to 90L, so you can have the same reliable bin, no matter how big the space is.
2. Slim Jim® Vented
When space is at a premium, Slim Jim® Vented is the bin you need. Its narrow footprint makes it perfect for tucking under worktops and cabinets or in corners.
It might be small, but it comes with all the functionality you need for a hard-working back-of-house bin. Slim Jim Vented® is made of premium quality resin and has a 10-year warranty, guaranteeing durability in highly demanding environments.
The venting channels facilitate air flow inside the bin and make it up to 80% easier to remove liners, which helps reduces the risk of injury and improves efficiency. Ergonomic design can also be found at the base of the Slim Jim®, with robust indented handles that improve control while lifting and emptying the bin.
3. BRUTE®
If you’re running a larger kitchen that’s producing high volumes of waste, you need bins built for the job. That’s where BRUTE® comes in.
BRUTE® has long been an industry favourite in hospitality and food service because of its unbeatable durability and food compliance. With a 10-year warranty, these containers are made of premium resin and guaranteed to never fade, crack, warp or dent. Not only that, the containers are also certified EU food contact compliant, and meet NSF 2, 21 approval.
Matching your BRUTE® with one of our dollies or choosing the Wheeled version means you can simply wheel it out of your kitchen to your external bin without lugging around heavy bin bags or bulky waste.
BRUTE® also features venting channels for easy bin liner removal, and integrated bag cinches for knot-free liners.
