The timely removal of waste is a crucial part of day to day operations for many businesses, as its accumulation can pose health and safety hazards for workers and damage productivity in the workplace. Constantly ferrying waste from the assembly line to a central collection point is not an effective use of staff time and can also affect your business’s ability to dispose of waste in an environmentally friendly manner. Tipping skips and drop bottoms bins are effective ways to cater to the waste problem in any business, but which solution best meets your organization’s needs? A) What are Tipping Skips? Tipping skips are invaluable for effective waste handling. Available with wheels for straightforward movement or integrated forklift pockets for lifting and carrying, tipping skips are often placed in strategic positions around the workplace so that workers can put waste materials inside when necessary. Later, the skips are often emptied by tipping or tilting - for example, into an outsized container for curbside collection. Tipping skips are supplied in various sizes, with a galvanized finish, skip lids and hydraulic dampers available to customize your chosen model to make sure it meets the needs of your business. Metal skips, which are powder coated or painted, are available in several colors, while polyethylene tipping skips are ideal for the hygienic disposal of garbage. B) What are Drop Bottom Bins? Drop bottom bins are sturdy steel containers that boast a high load capacity, with forklift pockets to facilitate easy moving. Like tipping skips, drop bottom bins are often filled with waste material and removed for emptying at a convenient time; however, the method of emptying these bins is different. With the bin secured to the forklift, the bottom is released, either as one opening or a split base, allowing the contents to empty into a bigger container or hopper. The locking mechanism are often released by the forklift driver without having to leave his vehicle, minimizing the time taken to move and empty the bin. Drop bottom bins are constructed to be robust and ready to withstand heavy waste, with multiple layers of anti-corrosive primer and paint to stop weathering. C) Tipping Skips vs. Drop Bottom Bins: Which Solution is Best for my Business? Choosing the proper equipment for your business is important to ensure that your waste management program supports your organization’s goals. If you’re unsure which option is that the most appropriate choice, consider these points: 1) Tipping Skips: • Particularly fitted to light waste. • Best used on the bottom for easy access to the safety catch system. • Ideal for ‘wet’ products, because the watertight seal prevents leakage. 2) Drop bottom Bins: • Handle heavy loads. • Not suited to ‘wet’ waste or waste particles (e.g. sand) thanks to the potential for leakage. • Designed to be used at height, in order that waste can be emptied from the base. • Allows automatic operation of the opening mechanism from inside the forklift.
