What is a swill wheelie bin?
An organic waste or swill wheelie binis identified by its green color and is a wheelie bin specifically for organic waste from a professional kitchen.
Swill is very recyclable into new raw materials and therefore valuable to separate. With a swill wheelie bin you help protect the environment, but you also save on costs. By collecting swill separately, you can make good savings on your waste costs.
Advantages swill wheelie bin
Many companies do not have a separatewheelie bin for swill waste. Yet it is very convenient to have a swill wheelie bin. It has many advantages.
Size
A swill wheelie bin is small: 120 liters. Swill has a lot of weight, if you were to throw a larger wheelie bin full of organic waste, it becomes too heavy. As a result, you have a chance that the cart will not be able to carry the wheelie bin or that the wheelie bin will break down when lifted mechanically.
Because the size of the wheelie bin is smaller, it is emptied more often. This ensures less smell and pests.
Exchange wheelie bin
A wheelie bin for swill is not emptied but swapped. If you were to empty it, there is a good chance that food particles would be left behind. This can rot, attract pests or cake.
Saving by separating swill
Swill waste is often thrown in the residual wheelie bin. This often seems cheaper, but it usually isn't. A swill wheelie bin is more expensive than one for residual waste, but by collecting swill separately, you save on many other costs.
Less frequent emptying
If you throw swill in the residual waste, it fills up faster. Should you throw the organic waste in the separate swill wheelie bin, the residual waste will not have to be emptied as often.
Subtraction by weight
Organic waste is very heavy. A swill wheelie bin is designed accordingly. If there is too much swill in another swill wheelie bin, you may be charged after the fact because of excessive weight.
Wheelie bin broken?
Other wheelie bins are often not made for excessive weight. If the truck comes to empty the wheelie bin and it is heavier than intended, the edge where the hydraulic arm lifts it may break off, rendering the wheelie bin unusable.
Loze ride
If there is different waste in a container than intended, the driver may not be able to take it. Sometimes it even happens that a wheelie bin is so heavy due to the large amount of swill inside that the truck cannot lift it to empty it. This is partly why a swill wheelie bins is 120 liters. In either case, there is an empty trip charge.
Cleaning
A swill wheelie bin is exchanged. So you always get back a clean swill wheelie bin. This saves time or costs for cleaning the wheelie bin. The residual waste container also needs to be washed less often because organic waste is no longer in it.
