Waste segregation in kindergarten and school - how to get started?

Ecological education is an integral part of everyday life in all good schools and kindergartens. Choosing the right containers is crucial. Waste bins for segregation should not only be safe and ergonomic from the point of view of a small user, but also provide them with positive stimuli. Let ecological principles for children be primarily a good fun!

We suggest how to choose professional waste segregation stations (internal and/or external) for schools, kindergartens, nurseries and other educational institutions, in order to develop eco habits wisely from the beginning.

Waste bins for segregation for children - which ones are worth investing in?

Purchasing containers for children is a task burdened with much greater responsibility than when choosing universal waste bins for segregation for standard public places. Segregation bins for children must meet several conditions: be safe, convenient in daily service for young users and visually attractive (if we care about the original presentation of ecological principles for children).

Trash bin for children - only safe materials

All waste segregation bins in school from our offer are made of the highest quality materials. Often, plastic bins are chosen for educational institutions, but metal segregation stations also pass the test.

Plastic waste segregation containers in school and kindergarten are made of high-density polyethylene:

• they are resistant to atmospheric conditions (they can stand outside),
• they are resistant to mechanical injuries (deformations, scratches, cracks),
• they are easy to keep clean (smooth walls and convenient emptying allow for maintaining hygiene),
• they have received a PZH certificate, which guarantees that the product does not negatively affect human health or the natural environment in any way.
  
  

Metal waste segregation bins for children for school and kindergarten also meet all necessary standards:

• they are made of organically coated steel and subjected to galvanization, which increases their anti-corrosion properties and overall durability,
• they are resistant to the harmful effects of external conditions,
• they are resistant to dents and scratches.
  

In addition, some models of metal waste segregation bins for school can be antibacterial, such as the antibacterial waste bin EKO STATION 3 x 60 L. In the production process of this type of station, metal ion compounds were used, which inhibit the growth of microorganisms and bacteria. The antibacterial coating effectively works for many years. Its effectiveness is confirmed by the certificate PN-EN ISO 846:2002. 

Trash bin for segregation - primarily convenient for children

Containers convenient for children should be of appropriate height and have a stable structure, especially if we are looking for bins for waste segregation in primary school or kindergarten.

Such requirements are met, for example, by these small, but solidly made and stable models:

1. Functional 3 x 120 L Trojak Mini segregation container with educational board - height 75 cm. It has a stable base, friendly streamlined shapes, light, handy flaps, and each chamber is equipped with practical rubber clamps for bags, which hold them even at maximum filling. This waste bin for segregation does not have a back - thanks to this, emptying is quick and hygienic. Just remove the bags from the back.

       The sister version of the Trojak Mini station is the 3 x 120 L Trojak Standard segregation container without educational boards.

2. Compact 3-compartment Trioconcept 40 L waste segregation bin - height 42.5 cm. Simple construction, three light lids in vivid colors and with large, comfortable handles - such a construction makes even the youngest ones able to handle correct segregation. The bin is stable and discreet enough not to interfere with play.
   
   
3. Minimalistic EKO STATION MINI 3 x 12 L waste bin with anti-slip base - height 47 cm. Trash bin for children can meet all the criteria of a safe container, be handy for the youngest, and at the same time maintain an elegant design that fits modern spaces. The rubber base provides stability, and the wide throw-in holes without a flap will not cause any trouble to any child

Waste segregation in school in a fun way - attractive shapes and colors

Ecological education in schools should use positive associations and stimulate the senses. With creative learning of segregation in mind, we propose models:

• Internal segregation containers Red Line Kids Station 4 x 87 L: throw-in holes have different shapes, adapted to the type of waste. Funny stickers referring to a specific fraction are placed on the chambers.
• Internal segregation container TETRIS 4 x 70 L: doors and flaps of each chamber are in the appropriate segregation colors, and in addition, attractive, very clear stickers for waste segregation bins with the name or pictogram can be placed on each segment.
  Similar solution works great in another modular model - ESTRI 4 x 70 L waste segregation container.

With some types of bins, segregation can be associated only with good fun:

• External ball-bin, i.e. Ball waste segregation container - available in a version for plastic, paper or glass. The bin in the shape of a giant, colorful ball has as many as five convenient throw-in holes.
• Bin-frog, i.e. Froggo 70 L green waste segregation bin for children - a container in the shape of a large, smiling frog immediately catches the eye. There is an option to add special stickers for waste segregation bins with the name of waste and the symbol of segregation.
• External mushroom-shaped waste segregation bin 4 x 120 L: has a fairy-tale shape and four convenient throw-in holes - placing such a trash bin, for example, on the playground is a good incentive for children to be more eco.

Ecology for children - learning through practice

Good habits are only developed through practice. It is worth ensuring that bins for hazardous waste, e.g. containers for used batteries, are placed in a visible place in the school or kindergarten. A light container for used batteries 40 L in the shape of a large, bright battery will certainly arouse the interest of the youngest.

Daily, pleasant ecological education is also supported by aesthetic graphic materials. In our offer you can find:

• clear information boards on five fractions,
• a set of simple stickers for waste segregation bins.

Learning waste segregation is one thing, but it is also worth equipping the facility with other specialized bins, e.g. a container for sand and salt, such as the one tested by public institutions 100 kg Titan Kingspan sand container.

Our mission is to support ecological awareness, especially in educational institutions. Several times a year, as part of our charitable activities, we try to deliver waste segregation bins for children to selected schools and kindergartens. See our cooperation with students:
