Supermarket waste recycling centres by Wastecare


Our modular in-store recycling centres and range of collection containers have been designed for small to large food retailers to increase their recycling collection volumes.

Our singular battery and disposable vape containers are available as 5litre buckets, 15litre tubes, 30litre drums or 60litre drums.

The most recent addition to Wastecare’s collection solutions is our modular recycling centre. 

The flexible design of this system allows retailers to select recycling bin types suited to their customer demographic. Each design accommodates suitable containers to safely collect recycled materials, in addition to easy removal for in-store employees readying containers for collection when full.

Design features include:

  • Footprint of the four-bin solution takes up minimal retail floor space
  • Streamlined, sophisticated appearance in comparison to historical recycling bins
  • Function design elements for heavy-use to increase product longevity
  • Customisable artwork options, with ability for manufacturer sponsorship to be featured
