The Derby Olympus A is a heavy duty, robust steel litter bin that is ergonomically designed with a sloped top and a rear opening door. Derby Olympus A Stainless Steel Litter Bin also available.
Designed for Public Realm Environments
Specifiers require public litter bins that contribute positively to the streetscape while standing up to continuous daily use. The Derby Olympus A addresses both considerations through a considered combination of form and function.
Typical installation settings include:
• High streets and pedestrianised zones
• Railway and bus stations
• Shopping centres and retail parks
• University and hospital campuses
• Business parks and civic spaces
• Waterfront and regeneration schemes
Its clean lines and understated detailing allow it to integrate comfortably within both contemporary and traditional surroundings.
Robust Steel Construction for Longevity
As with all Broxap steel litter bins, the Derby Olympus A is manufactured to provide dependable performance in exposed external conditions.
Construction Features
• Heavy-duty steel body
• Galvanised finish for corrosion resistance
• Polyester powder-coated exterior for durability and colour retention
• Sloped top to discourage litter placement and reduce water ingress
• Rear opening door for controlled, safe emptying
The galvanising process protects the steel core from rust, while the powder-coated finish provides an additional protective barrier against weathering and general wear. This layered approach helps reduce maintenance interventions over the product lifecycle.
Ergonomic Design for Users and Maintenance Teams
The Derby Olympus A has been developed with operational practicality in mind.
User-Focused Details
• Clearly visible ‘Litter’ text for immediate identification
• Supplied with three vinyl bands and two Tidyman logos
• Generous aperture designed for easy waste deposit
• Angled top to maintain a tidy external appearance
Servicing Efficiency
• Rear access door improves safety during emptying
• Secure closure system to prevent unauthorised access
• Internal liner compatibility to streamline waste removal
The rear-opening configuration enables maintenance teams to service the unit from the pavement side, reducing disruption in busy public areas.
Optional Ashtray Integration
For environments where smoking-related waste remains a consideration, the Derby Olympus A can be specified as one of Broxap’s litter bins with ashtray options. Integrated ash management helps reduce cigarette butt litter around entrances, transport interchanges and commercial properties.
This makes it particularly suitable for:
• Office developments
• Leisure venues
• Healthcare settings
• Transport facilities
Integrating ash disposal within the main bin structure reduces the need for additional wall-mounted ashtrays and maintains a coordinated streetscape.
Stainless Steel Variant Available
In addition to the standard galvanised and powder-coated model, a stainless steel version of the Derby Olympus A is available. This option is often specified for:
• Coastal locations
• High-end commercial developments
• Areas requiring enhanced corrosion resistance
• Schemes prioritising a contemporary metallic finish
The stainless steel alternative offers increased resilience in harsher environments while maintaining the same ergonomic and servicing benefits.
Suitable for a Wide Range of Outdoor Applications
As part of Broxap’s wider collection of outdoor litter bins, the Derby Olympus A is designed to withstand:
• Variable UK weather conditions
• High-volume daily usage
• Occasional impact and misuse
• Urban pollutants and general environmental exposure
Its balanced proportions and durable construction make it a practical long-term investment for local authorities and private developers alike.
Integration Within Broxap Streetscene Projects
The Derby Olympus A can be coordinated with other street furniture to deliver cohesive public realm schemes. It is often specified alongside:
• Broxap seating and benches
• Bollards and perimeter protection
• Cycle parking stands and shelters
• Planters and boundary railings
• Additional recycling and waste management units
Specifying complementary finishes across multiple elements ensures visual consistency throughout a project.
