Colour coded lockable bin for your commercial secure textiles waste.
Many organisations provide branded garments to their employees which they are required to wear whilst undertaking their role. Uniforms include items such as t-shirts, trousers, hats, coats, PPE and much more. Often branded and colour coded they act as an identifying marker of your staff and business.
However, in the wrong hands, misuse of your uniforms could cause reputational damage. That’s why we securely dispose of your uniforms whilst also recycling them where possible.
