Create a cleaner, more organised workplace with Richmond’s indoor waste recycling bin range. Each bin can be used to build a modular waste separation system that uses Australian Standard colour-coded lids for quick waste identification – red for general waste, yellow for mixed / commingled recycling, blue for paper and cardboard, green for food organics, and black (with swing top lid) for discreet general waste collection.
The matte black galvanised steel body provides durability and a professional appearance suited to offices, education facilities, retail centres, and hospitality environments. Every bin includes a removable 52L internal insert for easy emptying and cleaning, while colour-coded lid inserts or swing tops make sorting waste effortless and hygienic. Combine multiple bins to build a tailored 2, 3, or 4-stream recycling station that meets your site’s waste requirements.
This flexible system makes it easy to adapt as your recycling needs grow. Whether you’re setting up a small office station or a large-scale waste sorting area across multiple sites, Richmond’s indoor recycling range delivers a practical, future-ready solution for efficient waste separation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I build a waste sorting system using this range?
Building a colour coded waste system for your business is easy: Simply combine multiple bins with different lid colours to represent each waste stream – for example, red for general waste, yellow for commingled recycling, blue for paper and cardboard, and green for organic waste. The bins share the same dimensions, so they line up neatly as a professional waste station.
Are all bins the same size and shape?
Yes. Each bin in the range has a 52L capacity and matching height and footprint, allowing you to create uniform, modular setups for any space.
Is the black swing-top version compatible with the other bins?
Absolutely. The black swing-top bin shares the same body design and capacity, allowing it to be used alongside colour-coded lids for a cohesive look while offering discreet waste disposal for premium areas.
What environments are these bins best suited for?
They’re ideal for offices, schools, shopping centres, hotels, and other shared indoor spaces where organised waste separation and presentation matter.
How do I clean or empty the bins?
Each bin includes a removable galvanised steel insert that lifts out for quick emptying and washing. The matte black galvanised steel exterior can be wiped down for easy maintenance.
What is each lid colour typically used for?
The range follows Australian waste colour coding: red for general waste, yellow for commingled recycling, blue for paper and cardboard, green for food and organic waste, and black for discreet waste disposal in premium indoor areas.
Can these bins be used in public indoor areas?
Yes. The bins are designed for shared and public environments such as shopping centres, schools and universities, event spaces, transport hubs, and corporate facilities. Their durable galvanised steel construction and removable inserts make them practical for high-traffic use.
Can I order bins in bulk for large sites or facilities?
Yes. Bulk and multi-site orders are available for facilities needing multiple bins or full recycling stations. This makes it easy to standardise waste systems across offices, campuses, or large commercial buildings. Looking to place a larger volume order? Contact our team Australia wide.
Can I use these bins for something other than what’s printed on them?
Yes. The colour-coded and branded signage appears on only one side, allowing the bin to be rotated for a clean appearance or repurposed for alternate waste streams or internal systems.
