Why the UK Needs Better Home Recycling Solutions
The UK's recycling rate has stagnated at around 44% for years, far below the government's target of 65% by 2035. One of the biggest barriers? Inadequate home recycling infrastructure — too-small bins, no proper separation, and inconvenient systems. A large, designated recycling bin is the single most effective way to improve your household's recycling rate.
UK Government waste guidelines encourage households to maintain dedicated, clearly identified recycling containers.
Our 55L Extra Large Recycling Bin — £21.95
The 55L Recycling Bin with Swing Lid is designed specifically for recycling:
-
55 litre capacity — holds a full week of recyclables for a family without overflow
-
Swing lid — quick, one-handed access for frequent recycling throughout the day
-
Available in green and other colours — coordinate with council-issued bins or colour-code by material type
-
Slim footprint — stands beside existing general waste bins without taking over the kitchen
- Works with standard 55–60L bags
Setting Up a Home Recycling System
For most UK councils, you need to separate:
-
Dry recycling (paper, card, plastic, tins) — our 55L swing lid bin is perfect
-
General waste — pair with our 50L pedal bin or 40L pedal bin
-
Food waste — small caddy for the worktop (many councils now collect separately)
A well-designed three-bin system means you're recycling without thinking. Everything goes to the right place instantly.
Available in 3 Colour Variants
