Commingled Recycling Bins for Business

Set up commingled bins without contamination: sizes from 240L to 1100L, placement tips, and pickup rules.

Commingled Recycling Bins for Business

Clean commingled saves money. Here is how to set sizes, placements, and rules.

Sizes and placements

  • 240L/360L: Near staff kitchens and break areas; away from sinks to reduce liquids.
  • 660L/1100L: Back-of-house or docks; lids down to keep rain out.
  • Glass-heavy sites: consider a separate glass stream if weight is an issue.

Contamination blockers

  • No liquids, food, coffee cups, or soft plastics.
  • Post a yes/no sign with real items your team uses.
  • Pair with a general waste bin nearby so food does not end up in commingled.

Scheduling

  • Start with 1-2 lifts weekly; adjust to keep 60-80% full at pickup.
  • After events or delivery days, add a lift if needed.

Want a commingled plan? Contact with photos and typical volumes. We will size bins and set a simple contamination policy.
