Smart Food Waste Bin Storage Units
Hygienic. Safe. Compliant. Inobtrusive. User-Friendly
Designed to meet the growing demand for clean, compliant, and user-friendly food waste storage, Space for Waste’s bin housings provide an elegant and durable solution for organisations of all types. Whether installed in housing estates, care facilities, educational settings, commercial properties, or healthcare environments, our food waste units combine practicality with aesthetics to support modern, regulation-ready waste practices.
Purpose-built for food waste compliance
With the rollout of mandatory food waste recycling across the UK, there is an increasing requirement for both public and private sector organisations to ensure their waste infrastructure meets DEFRA and WRAP guidelines. Our food waste bin housings supports safe, hygienic storage with minimal disruption to daily operations.
These units are fire-tested to BS476, providing peace of mind in both residential and high-risk public settings, especially where storage areas are in close proximity to buildings.
Smart design for everyday use
Developed with both users and facilities managers in mind, the design is:
- Hands-free foot pedal operated, ensuring a hygienic, touch-free user experience
- Easy to install and maintain, reducing operational burden
- Flexible in lock configuration, with multiple access control options available
- Anti-graffiti and rust-resistant, for long-lasting, low-maintenance performance
The result is a clean, secure and unobtrusive unit that keeps food waste contained, odour-controlled, and protected from tampering or vermin.
Built for longevity and the environment
Each unit is manufactured from stainless steel, zinc oxide-coated and finished with a durable powder coating, available in a range of colours. This material choice makes the housing robust, weather-resistant, and sustainable, while reducing the need for frequent replacements.
For environmentally conscious developments, these housings enhance the overall appearance and performance of communal waste areas, contributing to a cleaner environment and a more positive user experience.
Customisation and branding options
To support brand consistency and clear waste communication, all units can be personalised with:
- User-defined decals, icons, and stream signage
- Corporate, borough or housing provider logos
- Colour finishes to match site aesthetics
These visual enhancements improve engagement and reduce the likelihood of misuse or cross-contamination.
Flexible sizing options
Our food waste housing units are available in a variety of standard bin sizes to suit different site needs:
- 120L, 140L and 240L standard configurations
- 360L unit available upon request
This flexibility makes them suitable for everything from small-scale community gardens to high-volume institutional sites.
