As a dual compartment recycling bin, the Duo allows two waste streams to be collected within one coordinated unit. This makes it particularly effective in areas with high footfall, where intuitive use and quick decision-making are essential.
Key functional benefits include:
• Two separate internal compartments within a single housing
• Clear visual distinction between waste streams
• Reduced requirement for multiple standalone bins
• Efficient use of pavement and public realm space
The format is often specified as a twin recycling bin in streetscapes where visual consistency and practicality must be balanced.
The Duo has been developed for long-term external use in demanding environments. Materials and finishes are selected to withstand daily use, weather exposure, and routine maintenance regimes.
Depending on specification, features typically include:
• Durable steel construction suitable for external installation
• Finishes designed to resist corrosion and surface wear
• Secure internal liners or compartments for controlled waste separation
• Components designed for straightforward emptying and servicing
This robust approach makes the Duo suitable for use as a street recycling bin in town centres, transport hubs, educational campuses, and public parks.
The Duo outdoor recycling bin is designed with everyday users in mind. Openings are positioned to be easily accessible from the public thoroughfare, encouraging correct use without creating congestion or confusion.
The twin format supports:
• Faster disposal during peak usage periods
• Reduced contamination between waste streams
• Clear, intuitive interaction for all users
Where required, the Duo can be specified alongside complementary signage or colour coding to reinforce correct recycling behaviour.
The Duo is available with alternative fixing methods to suit different site conditions and project requirements:
• Ground fixed installation for permanent public realm schemes
• Surface fixed installation where excavation is restricted or services are present (available at additional cost)
This flexibility allows the Duo to be integrated into both new developments and retrofit projects. It is frequently specified alongside other street furniture such as benches, bollards, or cycle parking to create coordinated, functional public spaces.
The Duo double recycling bin is commonly installed in:
• High streets and town centres
• Transport interchanges and public transport corridors
• Educational and healthcare campuses
• Parks, promenades, and visitor attractions
• Commercial and mixed-use developments
It is often selected where a single-bin solution would be insufficient, but multiple standalone units would compromise layout or aesthetics.
The Duo can be used as part of a wider waste management approach, specified alongside Broxap’s broader range of recycling and litter bins to ensure visual consistency across a site. This coordinated approach supports clearer user behaviour, simplified maintenance, and improved overall presentation of the public realm.
