The bin; ugly, smelly, in the way, needs constant attention, style destroying and just darn unsightly; however what on earth would we do without it? It doesn’t matter where you live or where you work, I’m afraid the bin is absolutely essential. In the home for example we all now need two of the horrible things, one for normal waste and the other recyclable waste, in fact many of us use three or four in the kitchen alone (general waste, paper, plastic and tin recycling, food waste and compost)! Around the home you’ll find a further bin in the bathroom for the end of the loo roll, face wipes, cotton wool and toothpaste tubes and sometimes another for ladies sanitary product disposal. You’ll then find another in the study for used up printer cartridges and paper, and various other bins in your children’s bedrooms for goodness knows what!

Another place you’ll find these horrible objects is in the office. Unfortunately the office is one of the most wasteful places; you can lecture your staff on the ethics of recycling, and yes, this may help a little, but the fact will remain; offices generate a ludicrous amount of rubbish. So yes, this does mean that you’ll need a waste bin per desk. Each employee scraps numerous notes, messages, documents, envelopes, the wrappers from their sandwich’s, their plastic water cups and more every single day, as it is, each of these bins will need emptying daily, so I’m afraid there’s no cutting corners here.

There may be no cutting corners, however here at Office 365 we have steel waste bins designed perfectly to sit in corners. A popular spot for these 5 Star Steel Scratch Resistant Waste Bins is under the desk tucked between the side and back panel. Plus, thanks to their square shape, they do not take up unnecessary space. What’s more, sitting under a desk not only makes them conveniently positioned for the user, but it also makes then out of sight!

In our catalogue I have found a beautiful picture that has a hard hitting message to us all…

‘Each person in an office uses 1.2 kilos of paper every week. It takes 390 gallons of oil to produce one ton of paper. That ton of paper takes about 8 cubic feet of landfill space. Methane, the most effective greenhouse gas is released into the air as rubbish in landfill sites rots.’

If you are of the same mindset as myself and feel guilty about your contribution to destroying our planet then you may want to look at our range of green stationery products.
