While offices need to be functional spaces, your choice of office furniture can not only affect the size, but also the comfort and atmosphere of any office. A furnishing that is too large or overly imposing can make even the largest office feel airless and claustrophobic. Similarly, too little furniture can make a space feel like an emotionless void. One piece of office furniture that is often overlooked is the humble office garbage can.
Overlooked but never underused
The garbage can is one of the most used pieces of office furniture. It is essential to keeping desks tidy and floors litter-free. On any day, it could contain unrecyclable materials such as Styrofoam, broken pens or plastic bags from the lunches of your employees.
While it is crucial that office garbage cans are fit for purpose, they also need to be aesthetically pleasing and fit with the decor and other furnishings in your office. After all, looking at an eye-sore day after day will surely not boost the productivity of your employees. A simple answer to the problem is to invest in stainless steel garbage cans for your office.
Why stainless steel?
One of the main advantages is that stainless steel is much more hygienic than its plastic counterpart. It is easy to clean, and smells have a much harder time penetrating the material. Automatically, this gives your office space a much fresher feel and creates a more positive working environment.
Stainless steel is also hard-wearing. It is harder to damage than plastic or thin wire waste paper, often used for bins. Therefore, it will cut your furniture costs over the long term. Its solid structure will also mean fewer leaks and will minimize the risk of rodents invading your otherwise spotless office space.
Stainless steel garbage bins come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, styles, and finishes, which ensures there is a style out there to suit any office and complement the existing office design.
- The Metro Stainless Steel Single Stream is a simple rectangular single garbage can that is perfect for use in small offices. Its elegant straight lines make it perfect to go in corners or against walls without being overwhelming. Topped with a plain fingerprint-proof, textured black lid, it can easily blend in with either traditional or contemporary surroundings.
- For larger offices, conference rooms and break rooms, the Metro Collection has the larger Triple Stream that aids in your company’s recycling efforts. The design’s sturdy structure also means that this model can be used to break up a larger space by being placed at right angles.
- Not all stainless steel garbage cans are rectangular, of course. Take the Boka single stream, for example. This triangular shaped garbage has a high-end finish and comes complete with optional sorting labels for recycling. The Boka line also features a double stream station and a triple stream station, so whatever your needs are, you’re sure to find your solution!
Your office, your look
The versatility of stainless steel office garbage bins makes them the perfect addition to any office space. The range of shapes and sizes mean they can be fitted into any space without becoming a focal point. They can be used to add a further dimension to an open planned space, or be hidden away in an empty corner. With so many options, the most difficult aspect will be choosing the best receptacle for your space.
