metroSTOR FX
metroSTOR FX Food Waste Bin Housings are designed to help local authorities prioritise the separate collection of food waste for multi-family properties where individual waste caddies are not a practical option.
Designed to increase resident involvement in recycling schemes, the metroSTOR FX is a neat, robust and easy to use product for outdoor bin storage. It accommodates either 140L, 240L or 360L wheeled bins stored in an open position within an enclosed housing. FP models are fitted with the foot-pedal operated lid system enabling touch free access. For specifiers, the consistent footprint and clear bin capacity options allow straightforward coordination within communal waste strategies and external works layouts.
Where food waste bin housings are located in public areas, access control is often desirable to minimise contamination. BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) latch systems can be specified with an easy to use administration platform. This supports schemes where controlled access, data-led management or future operational flexibility are being considered at design stage.
A common drawback associated with food waste bins is the requirement to handle food waste bin lids, which can discourage use. The metroSTOR FX lid is therefore considerately designed to both enable ease of operation and ensure the food waste container is kept enclosed. This function negates odours and undesirable side effects caused by food degradation, whilst also highlighting our ability to facilitate problem-solving design considerations. The enclosed, purpose-designed form supports planning-sensitive locations and helps designers demonstrate a considered approach to hygiene, usability and resident experience.
Separate battery deposit boxes can also be fitted to the metroSTOR FX bin housing range to help introduce safe and convenient battery disposal points into communal waste and recycling settings.
Specification-friendly technical information, including CAD and BIM resources, is available to support design coordination, planning submissions and tender documentation.
