Round Bins

Yes. All Richmond round bins are manufactured from food-grade polyethylene, making them safe for use in kitchens, catering operations, and healthcare environments. The smooth internal surfaces allow for easy cleaning and reduced risk of contamination. White bins are particularly popular in food handling because they make it easy to spot debris or residue, ensuring compliance with hygiene standards. Combined with optional lids, these bins help businesses maintain strict food safety protocols.

Choosing the correct bin size depends on space, mobility, and the volume of waste or materials handled. A 38L round bin is compact, ideal for under-bench storage, food prep areas, and frequent emptying in cafés or healthcare facilities. The 76L bin balances portability with capacity, making it popular for hospitals, retail, and back-of-house storage. For large-scale operations such as factories, warehouses, or commercial kitchens, the 121L bin reduces emptying frequency and manages bulk materials efficiently. Adding dollies ensures easy movement of any size, while lids improve hygiene and odour control across all applications.

Yes. Richmond round bins are manufactured using UV-stabilised polyethylene, which prevents degradation from sunlight exposure. This makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, including industrial yards, catering events, or public facilities. Unlike lightweight tubs that weaken outdoors, our bins maintain structural strength and colour stability over time, ensuring long-lasting use in Australian conditions. This feature is particularly valuable for councils, construction sites, and outdoor storage environments.

Round food grade bins are widely used in commercial kitchens, food production, and healthcare because their shape and material make them easy to clean, safe, and durable. The round design eliminates corners where food particles or bacteria could accumulate, improving hygiene and compliance with food safety standards. Being made from food-grade polyethylene, they are safe for direct contact with ingredients and prevent chemical contamination. Their strength makes them suitable for frequent handling and transport, while lids and dollies enhance hygiene and efficiency. This makes them the preferred choice for safe ingredient storage and waste management in professional environments.

Food-grade bins are essential in hospitality, catering, and healthcare settings where direct contact with ingredients or medical waste requires the highest hygiene standards. Made from food-grade polyethylene, they prevent chemical leaching, are easy to sanitise, and meet compliance requirements. White bins are often chosen for these industries as they highlight cleanliness. General-use bins, often grey, are better suited to industrial waste, recyclables, or warehouse storage where hygiene is less critical. For restaurants, hospitals, and aged care facilities, food-grade bins with lids provide the safest option, while general-use bins offer a durable solution for broader commercial environments.

Dollies and lids transform a standard round plastic bin into a complete waste management system. Lids are crucial in kitchens, healthcare, and food production, as they prevent cross-contamination, control odours, and maintain hygiene. In industrial environments, lids also help keep dust and pests away from contents. Dollies improve mobility, allowing even large 121L bins to be moved safely and efficiently, reducing manual handling risks and saving time. Together, lids and dollies enhance workplace safety, hygiene, and productivity. For businesses managing food waste, clinical waste, or bulk recyclables, these accessories are not optional, they are essential.

In Australia, commercial and industrial waste containers must comply with standards relating to durability, hygiene, and safe handling. Food-grade bins must meet strict requirements for material safety to ensure they do not contaminate food or medical environments. UV-stabilised polyethylene is essential for outdoor bins to resist fading and weakening in harsh conditions. Reinforced designs help meet impact resistance requirements for high-use industrial environments. Many councils and healthcare facilities mandate colour-coded waste segregation, which Richmond supports with white and grey bin options. Businesses should always select bins that align with relevant workplace health, safety, and hygiene regulations.
