The Maelor Open Top is a practical plastic litter bin designed for public realm locations where durability, secure access and straightforward servicing are key. Manufactured from part recycled materials, it combines a lightweight plastic outer with a reinforced galvanised framework, making it well suited to parks, pedestrian routes and other outdoor areas where bins must perform reliably through repeated use.
As an outdoor plastic litter bin, Maelor offers a robust, service-friendly alternative to all-metal units where reduced outer weight and simple handling are beneficial for maintenance teams.
The bin’s plastic outer is secured to a galvanised steel frame using a key-operated locking mechanism. This helps deter unauthorised access while maintaining a clean external appearance in busy environments.
Construction highlights include:
• Reinforced galvanised frame supplied as standard
• Lightweight plastic outer secured with key-operated locking
• Steel frame supplied with base plate and fixing holes
• One-piece “lock-on” lightweight cover for practical access
This makes it a dependable public litter bin option where secure operation and consistent presentation matter.
The Maelor’s open top format supports intuitive use in high-footfall areas. Chamfered edges help direct waste into the liner, reducing the risk of overspill between the liner and the outer case.
User and performance features include:
• Open top posting for quick, familiar use
• Chamfered edges to guide litter into the liner and reduce overspill
• Cover made from recyclable material
This design supports tidy placement as a street litter bin on pedestrian routes and around entrances.
Maelor is designed to support practical servicing and improved hygiene around the bin location. The outer case and liner can be removed, allowing the area beneath and around the bin to be cleaned more easily.
Servicing features include:
• Outer case and liner removable for cleaning beneath and around the bin
• To empty, lift the lightweight cover over the frame using the Maelor key provided
This approach helps reduce build-up around the bin base in busy outdoor settings.
Black is supplied as standard, with other colours available at additional cost. This supports coordination with wider streetscape palettes, local authority standards or site-specific branding requirements.
