Indoor Waste & Recycling Bins

Overview

Summary

Prestwick first partnered with Bates College in 2015 to design bins for the campus food service areas. After receiving their initial order, Bates College reached out with a unique need. They wanted a waste and recycle bin that had a funnel to help collect liquids.

In conjunction with the Bates’ Custodial Supervisor and Sustainability Coordinator, Prestwick’s Engineering and Design team created a waste and recycle bin that would allow users to discard of their leftover liquids. The unique stream was designed to be a part of their standard bin, but the circle opening would connect to a funnel that emptied into a bucket inside of the bin, allowing for quick and clean servicing of the bin.

Words from the Customer

"The Max-R bins that we have started using at Bates College have been beyond fantastic. They are hands-down the best bins I have ever seen. Max-R worked with us to develop a system that is clear, concise, and helps our students and staff do the right thing. The Max-R bins have also allowed us to begin a campus-wide compost pickup, which allows us to keep one more aspect of the waste stream from going into the landfill."
