The Many Different Types of Waste Bins
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Richard_N_Williams]Richard N Williams
Perhaps the most mundane and taken for granted objects we use around our home, work or school is the humble rubbish or waste bin. We perhaps use a waste bin a dozen times a day and yet very few of us consider the different types of bin and their uses. And quite often people use the wrong bin for the wrong purpose and this can lead to all sorts of problems.
Waste bins differentiate in what they are used for and where they are used and its important to get it right. Here is a list of some of the different type of bins and what they are designed for:
* Waste paper bin: possibly the simplest design of all bins. A waste bin for paper doesn't need a lid as paper will not rot and let off smells. They also don't need to be too large as most people will screw up waste paper before they throw it away.
* Kitchen bin: One of the hardest working bins. Kitchen bins have to cope with all sorts of waste including smelly food scraps so kitchen bins need a good lid. They also need a simple means of throwing things away without having to handle the bin, so pedal bins or those with swing lids are often used.
* External bin: Whilst many local authorities supply householders with bins. Not everyone is so lucky and business and schools often have to buy their own. An external bin needs to be strong and has to be made from a material that can cope with the rigours of the weather.
* Recycling bin: The increasing demand to recycle means more and more house holds have recycling bins. A recycling bin will often be different coloured and have different compartments for types of material. This is increasingly more important as come local authorities are now fining people for throwing the wrong item in the wrong bin.
There are plenty other types of bin available but those above are quite common. In general, when looking for a waste bin its important to remember what and where the bin will be used and then choose the right waste bin for the right environment.
