Plastic Containers FAQs
What are plastic containers typically used for?
They're used across a huge range of applications, from general industrial waste and recycling through to garden storage, animal feed and chemical containment. Many come with optional extras such as ashtray lids or bird-proof aperture flaps, which suit outdoor or communal settings like offices, schools and public spaces. If you're unsure which container suits your specific use, our Material Handling team can point you to the right one.
What sizes and capacities are available?
Capacities typically range from small domestic bins of a few litres up to large industrial containers holding several hundred litres. The right size depends on how often you'll empty or refill it and how much space you have for storage. Get in touch with our sales team if you need help matching capacity to your throughput.
Are these containers suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, most are made from robust, colourfast plastic designed to withstand UK weather without fading or becoming brittle over time. They're commonly sited outdoors for waste collection, recycling points and garden storage. If the container will hold chemicals or anything hazardous, check the material compatibility first, as some contents need specific plastic grades.
Can containers be fitted with ashtrays or bird-proof flaps?
A number of our containers can be specified with integrated ashtrays, which is useful for external bins near entrances or smoking areas. Bird-proof aperture flaps are also available on selected models to stop birds and vermin accessing waste inside. Not every container in the range takes these add-ons, so it's worth confirming compatibility with our team before ordering.
Are plastic or metal containers better for my application?
Plastic containers are lightweight, resistant to corrosion and generally lower maintenance, making them a good choice for most domestic and general industrial use. Metal containers offer greater durability and fire resistance, which matters for certain waste streams or heavier-duty industrial settings. If you're dealing with anything flammable or need a specific fire rating, metal is usually the safer option.
Do you offer discounts or advice for bulk or multiple-unit orders?
Yes, for multiple purchases or larger site fit-outs it's best to contact our Material Handling sales team directly for a tailored quotation. They can also advise on mixing container types and accessories, such as ashtrays or bird-proof flaps, across a bulk order. Lead times can vary depending on volume, so it's worth reaching out early if you're working to a deadline.
