Ideal Locations for Street Scape Steel Bins:
We love our Street Scape steel bins for these selected locations because of the many benefits.
1) Schools:
Schools bustle with children darting between classes, teachers maintaining order amongst the chaos, and parents dropping off forgotten lunch boxes. Schools need an adequate supply of bins to accommodate for the amount of waste generated by the vast number of people who visit the school premises. When it comes to choosing the ideal bin for a school, we lean towards the Street Scape steel bins.
Steel bins are often not chosen for schools because of safety risks. When bins are made with untreated steel and are exposed to rain, the steel will rust and become corroded. If a child or teacher gets cut on the rusted steel, they face the risk of tetanus; a deadly disease that attacks the nervous system.
Street Scape steel bins are the ideal bin choice for schools as they are made with galvanised steel. Galvanised steel is steel with a zinc coating. The zinc coating prevents the steel bins from becoming rusted or corroded when exposed to natural elements and thus keeps school children or teachers safe from the risk of tetanus.
Another bonus to Street Scape steel bins being made out of galvanised steel is that the zinc coating ensures strength, durability, and longevity. As schools have numerous monthly and yearly expenses, investing in a Street Scape steel bin is beneficial as you will not have to constantly be replacing rusted or broken bins.
Our personal favourite steel bin for schools is the Perforated Swing steel bin. This bin allows for easy clearing of waste when the bin is full and is reachable for any school student.
We recommend placing numerous Street Scape Perforated Swing steel bins around your school premises to keep your school clean, organised, and safe from dangerous waste being discarded on the floor.
2) Businesses:
Businesses need bins to keep their workplace organised and hygienic, but they can also be used to demonstrate an environmental consciousness. Providing bins will implore employees and clients to discard their waste in the bin rather than dropping it on the floor where it can become a pollution issue.
Many businesses provide their employees with indoor bins but forget about their outdoor spaces. Street Scape steel bins are an ideal bin choice for businesses as they can be installed in both indoor and outdoor spaces. When installed outdoors, Street Scape steel bins can be used to add a design touch to a business outdoor space.
Street Scape has a variety of steel bin design styles that are functional and can be used to reflect the overall aesthetic of your business.
Perforated Pedestal: This Street Scape steel bin is elevated off the ground by a pedestal. This design easily captures attention and ensures that no waste is discarded on the floor because a bin could not be found.
Perforated Swing: This steel bin is simple in design style with the main focus on functionality. The bin is made to tilt so that it is easy to clear out the waste contents.
Perforated Wall Mounted: This bin is designed to blend into the wall whilst still bringing a touch of functional style.
Timber Slatted Square: This Street Scape bin blends steel and wood in a unique design. This bin will add texture and interest to any location.
Timber Slatted Round: This Street Scape bin has a modern design. The combination of sleek black metal with natural wooden strips will be perfectly suited to any stylish location.
Baltimore with Canopy: This Street Scape bin boasts an intricate steelwork design. This glossy-coated steel bin will add a touch of elegance to any space whilst still being functional. The covered bin overhead keeps the contents of the bin hidden from sight. The contents are also protected from rain or being blown away
Alongside the various stylish and functional designs, the Street Scape steel bins are also available in a variety of finishes. From powder-coated to glossy seals to raw steel finishes, it is easy to find a Street Scape steel bin that will fit into the design of your business.
Our personal favourite Street Scape steel bin for businesses spaces is the Street Scape Baltimore with Canopy steel bin. The formal design and functional covering will keep your business clean in a stylish way.
3) Public Parks:
Public parks need bins to keep the park safe to use. If there are heaps of rotting food, broken glass, or rusting tins left lying around the park, it can become a safety hazard. If the park is not well maintained, plants and grass can disguise the waste and then become a threat to injuring anyone who attends the park.
Bins also ensure that public parks are usable. People in the local community will only feel inclined to visit the public park if the park is clean and safe. If people consistently visit a public park, there will be pressure placed on the municipality to keep the park maintained. By installing bins, you create a circle of positive impact on the public park and the overall area.
We recommend Street Scape steel bins for public parks as they are low maintenance. The use of galvanised steel in the manufacturing of the Street Scape steel bin ensures that you do not need to constantly repair or replace the public park steel bins.
The Street Scape steel bins are also easy to keep clean. If any waste had to directly touch the steel bin, they are easily renewed to their shining glory with a quick wipe of a cloth.
Our recommended steel bin for a public park would be the Timber Slatted Round steel bin. This bin is functional for outdoor spaces and the use of wood in the design reflects the natural elements of a public park.
4) City Sidewalks:
City centres can quickly become overwhelmed by piles of discarded waste. Not only does litter make a city an eye-sore, but litter can also pose serious threats to human and environmental health. Incorporating bins into the sidewalks of city centres will help reduce the amount of litter in a city.
You need bins to be selectively placed at intervals along city sidewalks so that it is easy for people to discard their rubbish into the designated bin rather than dropping it onto the floor. City sidewalks can stretch for kilometres and installing the needed number of steel bins can become expensive for municipalities to incorporate into their budgets.
Street Scape steel bins are an ideal option for city sidewalks as they are affordable bins. Galvanised steel affordability is dependent on the thickness of the steel. Street Scape manufactures steel bins with as thin steel as possible without sacrificing strength to ensure affordability.
The durability and low maintenance of the Street Scape steel bins also ensure that they are a budget-friendly bin option as they do not need to be regularly maintained or replaced.
Street Scape also produces a range of steel bin designs which vary in cost to suit a variety of budgets. For a city sidewalk, we recommend the Perforated Wall Mounted bin as it is functional and affordable.
If installing steel bins into your city sidewalks is not in the municipality budget, then we recommend creating a community drive to raise the funds. Keeping city centres clean and litter-free is important for those who live or work in the city.
5) Shopping Centres:
Ensuring that there is an adequate supply of bins in a shopping centre is critical to keeping the shopping centre clean and creating a positive experience for shoppers.
Street Scape steel bins are an ideal choice for shopping centres as they can be manufactured within a quick time frame. Shopping centres often order vast quantities of bins which many manufacturers struggle to produce within the required time. Street Scape can manufacture any shopping centre’s required quantity of steel bins efficiently.
Another benefit to Street Scape steel bins is that they can also be delivered to your shopping centre. We use a reliable delivery service which will quickly get the steel bins to a shopping centre located anywhere in South Africa.
We love the Street Scape Timber Slatted Square steel bin for shopping centres. The wide opening allows for shoppers to quickly dispose of any unwanted items as they walk between the shops.
The large size of the Street Scape Timber Slatted Square steel bin also can accommodate waste generated by the large number of people found in a shopping centre. The size also reduces the shopping centre’s need to constantly clear the bins and therefore requires less effort.
6) Universities:
Every university must provide sufficient bins on the university premise to accommodate the number of students or visitors. Bins ensure that the university campus is a clean, healthy space conducive to learning.
Universities can use bins to instil an awareness around waste and litter in students. For example, the Street Scape steel bins can be used for recycling purposes. By installing four adjacent Street Scape steel bins and labelling them individually with “plastic”, “paper”, “glass”, and “food waste”, you can easily create recycling stations on your university campus.
A benefit to choosing Street Scape steel bins for universities is that they are easy to install. All Street Scape steel bins are surface mounted, except for the Perforated Wall Mounted steel bins. The surface mounted Street Scape steel bins simply need to be placed in the desired location and bolted into place.
The easy installation of Street Scape steel bins means that the steel bins can be installed quickly, securely, and in any location on the university premises.
For university uses, we recommend the Steel Perforated Pedestal steel bin. This steel bin can easily blend into any university campus and be used to create a recycling station.
Street Scape steel bins are the perfect waste solution for numerous locations.
