Broxap have helped to supply the NHS Foundation Trust with reliable and creative recycling bins situated around Blackpool Victoria Hospital.

The recycling bin project has demonstrated the flexibility of Broxap; we have not only contributed to contemporising the way in which people think about recycling, but also encouraged the younger generation and NHS staff alike to actively do it.

The colourful artwork displayed on the front of the bins (which can be seen in the picture below) was designed by 12 years old Blackpool local, Ellie Spickett, winner of the NHS Trusts Art Competition.

We used 14 of our SEPR8 range recycling bins with Ellie’s design applied and through its success there are hopes to extend the contract further by covering other sites within the Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre Hospitals.

Working in collaboration with the NHS Trust has displayed our strength in product differentiation as we offer a service whereby the consumers can customize their products in relation to their given briefs.

Richard Moore, Waste Reduction Officer for the Trust, said: “The designs are excellent. They really do catch the eye and encourage people to recycle. It is really important that we do all we can do to encourage people, including our staff, to dispose of their waste and these bins will really help.”

The bins are available on http://www.litterbin.co.uk/products/bx45_sepr8-l-s_single_sided_sepr8_recycling_centre.php
