There’s nothing like a few beers in the pub. Whether you’re unwinding or celebrating, it’s one of life’s pleasures. But after the bar staff have collected your bottles, have you ever wondered what happens to them? Well, they more than likely end up in pub bottle bins then (hopefully) the recycling bin. So why do pubs use bottle bins?
Why Pubs Use Bottle Bins
To transport full or empty bottles
Pub bottle bins are really handy for transporting stock from storage to the bar. They’re also great for collecting empty bottles ready for recycling at the end of the night. They’re easy to manoeuvre, don’t take up a lot of space, and they’re watertight. This means that if any dregs of beer spill in the bottom of the bin, they can be easily tipped out.
To keep bottles cold at outdoor events
The fact that they’re watertight means you can fill them with ice to keep bottles cold. They’re a godsend if your pub hosts outdoor functions in the sweltering heat of summer. Nobody likes warm beer.
They make recycling bottles easy
Pub bottle bins make easy work of recycling your glass bottles. Instead of having to sort through recycling, all your glass is in one receptacle. Figures estimate that the UK hospitality industry throws away around 200,000 tonnes of glass every year. Most of the glass that’s thrown away ends up in landfill needlessly. Glass is one of the most infinitely recyclable materials. Invest in a pub bottle bin so your venue doesn’t contribute to the dire statistics.
BUT, they are not just for bottles
Okay, they are called bottle bins, but they are versatile. If you buy a pub bottle bin made from food-grade plastic, you can store food or ingredients in them too.
To keep their venue healthy and safe
Every business has a legal and moral obligation to look after the health and safety of its employees and customers. Pubs are no exception. Using bottle bins means nobody is at risk of slipping on a stray bottle or cutting themselves on broken glass.
