A simple bin plan for cafes: keep coffee cup contamination down, manage food scraps, and avoid overflow in tight laneways.
Cafes juggle coffee cups, food scraps, cardboard, and tight back-of-house space. Use this 7-step plan to stay tidy and compliant.
If bins are half full for two weeks, drop a pickup; if they overflow, add a pickup before upsizing. Want a quick cafe-ready setup? Contact and we'll align bins, organics, and grease trap on one schedule.
