<p>A wheeled bin has multiple compartments for the separation of recyclable waste. The compartments are hinged so that they are relatively pivotable and can be lined up to allow the waste to remain separated during transfer to a multi compartment collection vehicle. There are 5 compartments which are colour coded to indicate the type of waste. Ideally there is a draw in the base for paper. The compartments closest to the spine can contain glass and biodegradable waste while the outer compartments can hold plastics and metal to reduce weight at the extremities when the bin is full and unfolded. The compartments may be retained in the folded state by a rubber clasp and locking pin. The bin is ideally formed by injection moulding plastics. A stop prevents the sections unfolding further than 90 degrees to each other.</p> |
