Best practice The functional design of each bin is generally related to the type of material being recycled. Recycling bins should be robust, fire-resistant and contain explanatory graphics where required. Bins should be leak-proof to avoid the staining of surface materials. Recycling bins should be secure to deter antisocial behaviour. Smart recycling bin London, UK Recycling bins with liquid crystal display (LCD) screens for information, advertising and data collection Key functions Opportunity Recycling bins are an essential item of street furniture; however, they are inherently large and can be obstructive. The smart bin uses its bulk to provide useful information via a large screen. Benefits This design was an attempt to get more out of the infrastructure of street furniture. The recycling bin also doubles up as a public billboard displaying everything from the weather and news to transport information, adverts and stock prices. Implementation A trial of eight bins have been placed in the City of London.

They are required by a wide range of commercial properties and so should be carefully arranged and managed to minimise their visual impact. Bins should preferably be located away from the TLRN, in servicing alleys and back streets. The provision and management of trade refuse bins is the responsibility of the local authority and/or private contractors. Location Where unavoidable and upon agreement with ourselves, trade refuse bins may be located on the TLRN, assuming safe access can be ensured. They should be positioned where parking for collection and delivery vehicles can be provided and traffic flows are not impeded. The following criteria must be met: Figure 236: Trade refuse bins can be detrimental to the character of the streetscape and should be kept out of sight where possible • They should only be placed on footways if the footway clear zone is to remain 2000mm or more • Visibility sightlines must be maintained • Metal refuse corrals may be used where a number of moveable bins are located together and need to be aligned and contained for safety and aesthetic reasons • Bins should be located where access to adjacent properties will not be hindered • Where collection vehicles are anticipated on the footway, the structural strength of the surface materials must be reinforced to avoid damage Product specifications: Trade refuse bins should be robust and fireresistant, and contain explanatory graphics where required. Integrated discreet graphics are preferred to stick-on labels which tend to peel off. Bins should have wheels to manoeuvre to collection vehicles and incorporate a facility to allow them to be lifted using modern lifting equipment. Bins should be of a uniform style and colour where possible and coordinated with other street furniture. Consideration should be given to the use of higher quality bins or screening when located in or near special or historic areas. In high security areas, the use of lockable or sealed bins will be required. Advice should be sought from our transport community safety managers within the Enforcement and On-Street Operations team. Implementation and maintenance A licence from the local authority may be required before installation. Installation is the responsibility of the local authority or a private contractor. Regular collection and maintenance is required to ensure that overflow waste does not pile up next to the refuse container. (Image courtesy of STE Waste)
