What Is A Recycled Grit Bin

Grit bins are plastic boxes, predominantly yellow, placed along roadsides and paths to store and protect brown grit or white rock salt from winter elements such as rain, snow and ice. 

Recycled plastic grit salt bins are usually black however they can have different coloured lids if you'd like them to stand out more on streets or match corporate colours. 

Recycled grit bins can be used in any location so suitable for schools, councils, retail, residential and commercial properties etc.

Below you’ll find key information about recycled grit bins.

What are the environmental benefits?
Recycled grit bins are an eco-friendly, more environmentally responsible, closed loop and sustainable plastic product.
They help reduce the demand for new virgin plastic materials and divert waste from land fill sites.

What is the material used?
The polyethylene compound is manufactured from pre-used end of life plastic products processed into small pellets with added black dye to ensure a uniform colour. 

Are they durable?
Recycled grit bins are just as durable as standard coloured grit bins.
The plastic is the same quality. It's still UV stabilised / colourfast so will last for years out in the elements without cracking, flaking or overly fading. 

Are they cost-effective?
Yes, recycled grit bins cost less than those manufactured from new plastic so provide great value for money without compromising on quality or durability.
