More and more businesses are working to increase their recycling rate, in order to meet sustainability goals, align with customer and employee expectations, and cut waste management costs. But how can you get the best results from your recycling strategy? And what should you look for when choosing recycling bins?
In this blog, we’ll take a look at how modular recycling stations can help streamline your waste management strategy and give you the flexibility you need.
1. Add and remove waste streams as needed
One big advantage of modular recycling stations is the ability to add or remove bins as needed. Modular bins offer more flexibility than all-in-one units as they let you create a tailored solution that can adapt as your needs change.
For example, if you find that food waste is being deposited in an area that you previously thought only produced mixed recycling, you can just add on a food waste bin to alongside the others without having to replace the whole unit. Or if you change the way you’re using the spaces within your facility, you can move the waste streams around easily
2. Get the right fit in every space
Modular recycling stations can be arranged to suit tight corridors, open-plan offices, or high-traffic lobbies. Because if you’re pushed for space and don’t have room for a fixed row of four or five bins, you can simply detach it into a couple of smaller segments, and place the bins in the most logical places.
They allow for custom configurations that align with your facility’s unique design and the flow of employees or customers, improving both visibility and access.
3. Easy to clean and maintain
Modular bins are typically easy to put together and take apart, which also makes them straightforward to clean and maintain. And if one bin in a row needs deep cleaning, you can just detach that individual bin instead of putting the entire recycling station out of order.
Choose the modular recycling bins that are right for you
At RCP, we offer two modular recycling systems: Configure™ and Slim Jim® Recycling Stations. They come with easy-to-use magnetic or plastic connectors, respectively, making it simple to build a recycling station that suits your facility’s needs.
Our bins have colour-coded options for seven different waste streams – for a three-bin station that gives you 35 possible layouts. Combined with our Slim Jim® Vented or Step On ranges, which are also individual containers available in multiple colours and sizes, you can provide a consistent colour coded waste management solution that will support effective recycling and reduced costs.
