Leafield Environmental has launched its recently redesigned Heritage Square litter bin.
Leafield’s Heritage Square bin has traditionally collected general waste, but has been redesigned to collect mixed recyclables that are identifiable by WRAP-compliant colour-coded labels.
Both ranges are rigid and durable, and made from 100 per cent recycled materials. The bins are available with a 110-litre or a 240-litre capacity.
Leafield claims its Envirobank recycling bin is still a firm favourite among its customers, with its front opening design that allows waste to be emptied without any lifting.
The units are available to collect plastic bottles, aluminium cans, paper cups, paper and mixed recyclables, all featuring WRAP-compliant colour-coded labels and open, hole, slot or propeller aperture. Bespoke colours and personalised labels are available upon request.
Leafield’s front opening design allows the waste to be emptied without lifting the bin.
The bins can be manufactured with an antimicrobial protection, which is added during the manufacturing process, to inhibit the growth of microbes.

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.
