This new Wheeled Bin Caddy is a new and exciting addition to the Straight kerbside container range. It transforms a standard 240 litre wheeled bin into a multi-compartment recycling system. Nesting inside the mouth of a wheeled bin, the Caddy allows residents to separate materials with no additional effort.
Designed to provide a second container without taking up any more space at the kerbside, the new Caddy offers a more efficient use of existing stock of wheeled bins.
Bradford MBC Council will roll out the new container to 30,000 homes in the second half of 2006. They hope to expand the scheme to a further 90,000 properties in the following year. The caddies will be used to separate glass and cans from paper.
"The Straight design team have clearly worked hard to develop the new container. The insert is easy for our operators to remove from the wheeled bin and will allow us to extend the range of materials we collect in a single pass. This without increasing the footprint of recycling containers at households. The Straight caddy will form the foundation of the relaunch of an improved recycling service throughout the district." said Ian Bairstow, Head of Service, Bradford MBC.
The innovative caddy has been designed with the user and collection operatives in mind with multi grip handles in each long side and a flat base to aid the storage of the separated items. It also encompasses a simple sliding action when lifting the caddy from the wheeled bin which allows the safe removal of the collected materials.
Following recent media coverage on the health and safety of Kerbside Containers, Tom Musgrove, Director of National Accounts at Straight plc commented, "I believe this is a great step forward for kerbside collections for the UK. Many authorities have already implemented their kerbside schemes. The new caddy has received a positive reaction from local authorities and Heath and Safety consultants". Straight will be showcasing this new development at both the CIWM and the RWM exhibitions in 2006.
