What is a swing lid duo bin? It's a single-body waste bin divided into two compartments, each with its own self-closing swing lid, used to separate waste into two streams without needing two separate bins.

Why Choose This Bin

Two Independent Swing Lids Each compartment has its own spring-loaded lid, so one side being in use doesn't affect the other — waste stays separated from the moment it's dropped in.

Space-Saving Dual Design One footprint does the job of two single bins, which matters in corridors, cafeterias, and offices where floor space near a waste point is limited.

Color Coated Finish The coating sits over the base metal as a protective layer, cutting down surface rust compared to an unfinished body — and lets each compartment be colour-marked for its waste stream.

Built for High-Traffic Use A metal-bodied duo unit holds its shape under repeated hand contact from two directions at once, which is harder on hinges than a single-lid bin sees.

Easy to Clean The coated surface wipes down without the coating flaking under normal cleaning agents.

Benefits

  • Waste gets sorted at the source — two compartments mean segregation happens as waste is thrown out, not sorted later.
  • Saves floor space — one bin body replaces two separate single bins in tight areas.
  • Hands stay cleaner — both lids operate hands-free by swing action.
  • Fits color-coding protocols — each compartment can be marked or coloured for a specific waste stream.
  • Lower replacement cost over time — a metal body with a protective coating typically outlasts bare or painted alternatives.

Applications

  • Offices & Cafeterias — one compartment for general waste, one for recyclables, placed at a single collection point.
  • Hospitals & Clinics — supports segregation protocols where two waste types need separate, adjacent disposal.
  • Hotels & Hospitality — keeps guest and back-of-house areas tidy with sorted disposal in one unit.
  • Airports & Public Spaces — dual compartments handle higher footfall waste sorting without doubling the number of bins installed.
