Recycling Essentials For Your Business
Posted on: 28 February 2023
A can crusher and a wheeled bin are two products that can be used to prepare and store recyclables. Shop for commercial recycling container equipment that contains ergonomic features. Instill a recycling program that involves using the new equipment that you invest in.
A Can Crusher
Manual and power can crushers are designed to crush single cans or groups of cans. A manual model will contain a can storage chamber and a handle. After securing a can, the crushing plate that the handle is attached to will effectively flatten the metal can.
A power model will rely upon the use of a pneumatic motor (compressed air motor) or a fully-electric motor. An automatic can crusher can flatten cans quickly. Little effort is needed to compress cans.
Consider the number of cans that are thrown away at your business each month. Shop for a crusher model that will support the can size and quantity that you will be recycling. Can crusher manufacturers will provide details about the features that their equipment possesses.
Assess the average number of cans that a crusher can flatten within a set amount of time. Crushed cans will take up less space in your recycling storage container than cans that haven't been crushed.
A Wheeled Bin
A wheeled recycling bin will be useful when collecting cans from the parking lot, the lawn, and various interior parts of your business. A bin that is designed to be transported may feature rubber wheels or casters. This type of bin may also contain a handle. A wheeled bin will aid with temporarily storing cans that will eventually be crushed.
When shopping for a bin, consider the volumetric storage space that a bin contains. Assess the design of the bin and frame. A bin may be permanently anchored to its frame. A bin may also be designed to be separated from its frame.
A bin that contains detachable pieces will be easy to maintain. Once the bin is separated from the frame, it can be hand-washed in a utility sink or sprayed off with a hose. Once the bin dries, it can be reattached to the frame.
Some bin manufacturers may feature storage containers with lids. A lid will keep recyclable materials clean and dry. A bin that has been manufactured solely for storing recyclables may contain the universal recycling symbol on its exterior. A wheeled bin that is collapsible can be stored in a utility closet when it is not in use.
