Colour Coded Lids

Simple, clear recycling with colour-coded bin lids

Make it easy for your staff and customers to sort waste correctly with our colour-coded lid system. Designed for clarity, compliance, and higher recycling rates, our bins come in a range of colours corresponding to specific waste types.

Available colour lids:

  • Black – General waste
  • Green – Mixed recycling (plastic, cans, paper)
  • Brown – Food waste
  • Red – Glass
  • Blue – Cardboard & paper

Benefits of colour coding:

  • Reduces contamination in recycling streams
  • Makes sorting quicker and easier on busy premises
  • Fully compliant with local authority guidance and waste regs
  • Boosts participation and staff engagement in sustainability

Our team will advise on the right combination of bins and lids based on your waste types and space restrictions.
