 * Kitchen bin: One of the hardest operating bins. Kitchen bins have to cope with all sorts of waste including smelly food waste so kitchen bins need a good lid. They also need a simple means of throwing factors away without having to handle the bin, so pedal bins or those with swing lids are often used.

 * External bin: Whilst many local authorities supply householders with bins. Not everybody is so lucky and business and schools often have to acquire their own. An external bin needs to be strong and has to be made from a material that can cope with the rigors of the weather.

 * Recycling bin: The increasing demand to recycle signifies more and more households have recycling bins. A recycling bin will often be different colored and have different compartments for kinds of material. This is increasingly more important as come local authorities are now fining people for organizing the wrong item in the wrong bin.
