In this blog, we’ll discuss how you can take control of hospitality waste, council waste, park bins and commercial waste management with a range of smart, practical solutions.
Smart waste management solutions
BriteBin™ Smart Waste Solution for public spaces
Public areas need reliable bins that don’t just look good, but also perform well. That’s where BriteBin™ shines. These smart waste solutions use solar power to compact rubbish by up to 90%, with a built-in sensor system monitoring fill levels and reports in real time.
This means councils can collect only when needed, cutting unnecessary trips and fuel use. Streets stay cleaner, parks remain welcoming and residents notice the difference. With no ongoing power costs, they are both eco-friendly and economical.

Bin and waste compactors for commercial bins
Managing bagged waste can be costly, which is where bin and waste compactors step in. Our range of bin and waste compactors reduce waste volume by up to 66% – that means ten bags compact down into one. If you’re running a small venue, we recommend plug-and-play bag compactors like the PEL180, perfect for kitchens, shops or cafés.
For larger operations, wheelie bin compactors handle higher volumes of waste. These reduce collection frequency, save space and improve site safety. For businesses looking at commercial bin management, compactors deliver quick wins.
Cardboard and plastic balers – compact and efficient
Waste cardboard and plastic can become overwhelming in storage areas. Balers compress these materials by up to 90%, and you can even opt for compact balers that fit into tight spaces. Next, you’ve got medium and large balers that can handle bulk loads for sites such as supermarkets, universities and factories.
You can expect neater storage, reduced fire risks and fewer collections. Businesses don’t just save money, they can also earn from selling recyclables. Balers are a popular choice for cardboard and plastic waste management solutions.
Mastering glass waste: Baby JAWS and more
Baby JAWS for hospitality waste
Bars, restaurants and hotels deal with mountains of empty bottles – and the Baby JAWS bottle crusher is a top choice for handling hospitality waste. Sitting under a counter, it crushes glass into cullet and reduces volume by up to 80%.
Each tote can hold about 90 bottles, with the crushed glass taking up far less space. That means fewer glass bin collections, lower costs and safer storage, plus your staff spend less time moving waste, and customers enjoy a tidier venue.
Mega JAWS and Mighty JAWS high-capacity crushers
For larger venues, businesses should consider the Mega JAWS and Mighty JAWS crushers. Mega JAWS processes up to 680 bottles per 140L bin, and the Mighty JAWS crushes up to 600 bottles into a 120L bin – all whilst remaining quiet enough for back-of-house spaces.
These machines are fantastic commercial waste management options, cutting collections dramatically and paying back investment quickly.

- Councils and public spaces: BriteBin™ solar bins cut collection trips, save budgets and keep park bins clear of overflow.
