Wastepaper Baskets

Which wastepaper basket should you choose?

The best model depends mainly on its size, material, and where the wastepaper basket will be placed.

Plastic and metal wastepaper baskets

A standard plastic wastepaper basket is a good choice for a desk or a small office. It is lightweight, easy to move, and its smooth surface is easy to clean.

Mesh wastepaper baskets, sometimes referred to as mesh bins, are another common choice for offices. Their open design is well suited to dry paper waste and makes it easy to see when the basket is getting full.

Wastepaper baskets with multiple compartments

If you want to separate different types of waste in the same location, a wastepaper basket with separate compartments can be a practical solution.

The range includes models with two compartments, making it possible to sort waste without the need for multiple bins.

Choose the right size and location

A wastepaper basket with a capacity of around 13-18 litres is often sufficient for a desk or a small office room. If several people will use the same basket, it may be worth considering how often it will need to be emptied.

Also check the external dimensions of the wastepaper basket, especially if it will be placed under a desk or in a confined space.

It is also important to consider the type of waste that will be disposed of. An open mesh basket is best suited to dry waste, while other types of containers may be more appropriate if the waste is damp or could leak.
