EPSOM & EWELL PREPARE TO WHEEL OUT MINI BINS!
Epsom and Ewell Borough Council have extended their kerbside collection
scheme to include the new 50 litre Mini Bin from Blackwall – the
first Mini Bin order to be fulfilled by the Straight and Blackwall
partnership following the merger in January of this year. The merger
of the two companies creates a business worth over £20 million,
one of the biggest suppliers of containers for recycling and composting
in the UK.

The Council currently use the Blackwall
55 litre kerbside boxes and 47 litre blue recycling bags to collect
paper and the Mini Bin will be added to reduce
assisted collections across the Borough.
The Mini Bin is fitted with 2 heavy-duty wheels, which makes it easy for those
who may struggle with the weight of a kerbside box when bringing it to kerbside,
therefore reducing the requirement for assisted collections which can be time
consuming and costly.
Other features include a close fitting ‘throw back’ hinged lid and
can be supplied with an added steel latch to lock the lid. Available with or
without wheels (without wheels reduces the cost per unit and increases the capacity)
the Mini Bin's tall upright design takes up minimum floor space allowing
residents to keep the bin in a corner of the kitchen or by the back door.
Jon Sharpe, Epsom & Ewell’s Recycling Officer explained why he chose
the Mini Bin over other containers available on the market:
“ We chose the 50 litre Mini Bin because it’s strong, study and easy
to move. It can be left indoors or out and we will be offering them to those
residents where we currently collect from the back door so that they can bring
the bin to kerbside on collection days”
The Mini Bin can be branded with corporate logos and recycling messages dependent
on order quantities. Manufactured to the highest quality standards the Mini Bin is the strongest container of its type on the market and guaranteed for 5 years.
