Client: Newcastle University

Year: 2026

Located within the Newcastle Helix development, these custom Derby Eros stainless steel litter bins were designed and manufactured to complement the site's contemporary architecture while providing a durable waste management solution for a high-footfall public environment.

Manufactured from premium grade stainless steel, the bins feature precision laser-cut "Newcastle Helix" branding beneath the waste aperture on both the front and rear, creating a distinctive identity that reinforces the development's branding. A black backing plate sits behind the laser-cut detailing, enhancing visibility and creating a striking contrast that ensures the branding remains clear and visually impactful.

The Derby Eros design combines modern aesthetics with practical performance, making it well suited to busy urban spaces. Stainless steel construction provides excellent resistance to corrosion, staining and everyday wear, helping the bins maintain their appearance with minimal maintenance over many years.

The robust design is capable of withstanding the demands of daily public use, while the custom laser-cut branding transforms a functional item into a coordinated streetscape feature. By integrating the site's identity directly into the product, the bins contribute to a cohesive public realm while encouraging responsible waste disposal through highly visible, accessible collection points.

Newcastle Helix is a landmark innovation district that brings together businesses, researchers, students and the local community within a vibrant mixed-use environment. As a destination focused on sustainability, collaboration and cutting-edge design, the public realm plays an important role in creating an attractive and welcoming setting.

The custom Derby Eros litter bins complement the wider landscape, providing a long-lasting and visually refined waste management solution that supports the quality, identity and everyday usability of this forward-thinking development.
