Leafield Environmental, designer and manufacturer of litter and recycling solutions, has launched a range of robust 240-litre wheelie bins.
The new range, called the Heritage Square XL Litter Bin, has a large capacity and a double-wall structure, making the bin rigid and durable. It measures 141.5cm in height, 80cm in width and 85cm in depth.
The bin also has enough surface area to stick up to four posters on it, either for campaigning or advertising. Customers can also customise the bins, with the option of various colours and labels.
Leafield has also launched the Heritage Square XL Recycling Bin to respond to increased demand for public recycling bins. The recycling bin, which is identical to Leafield’s litter bin, can collect mixed recyclables – which is identified by the WRAP-compliant labels and aperture colour.
The bins are treated with antimicrobial additive Biomaster during the manufacturing process, meaning the growth of microbes on the bins’ surfaces is inhibited.

How will the government and DMOs address the challenges of including glass in DRS while ensuring a level playing field across the UK?
There's no easy solution to include glass in the DRS while maintaining a level playing field. Potential approaches include a phased introduction of glass, potentially with higher deposits to reflect its logistical challenges. The government and DMOs could incentivise innovation in glass packaging design and subsidise dedicated return points for glass-handling. Exemptions for smaller businesses unable to handle glass might also be necessary. Any successful solution will likely blend several approaches. It must address the differing priorities of devolved administrations, balance environmental benefits with logistical and cost implications, and be supported by robust consumer education campaigns emphasizing the importance of glass recycling.
