Customization to Your Campus Identity
Our bins offer a range of customization options to help you create solutions that fit your campus’s identity, whether you’re choosing recycling bins for a university or grade school. You can add your school’s logo or create graphics to promote your recycling program and encourage participation. Options also include adding labels and graphics for easy identification.
Here are a few other elements you can customize:
- Size: We offer bins in different sizes to help you tailor your setup to the number of people using them and the volume of waste.
- Style: Premium finishes and modern designs allow bins to integrate seamlessly and stylishly into your school grounds.
- Streams: Choose how many streams a bin will collect, then adapt the opening size and color so people can make the right choices when disposing of waste.
