Green Organic Waste Bins

BACK TO PRODUCTS

When organic waste goes into a landfill, the lack of oxygen creates a scary substance called methane gas, which is 25 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. That’s where our green organic waste bins come in. 

Ecobin's mean, green wheelie and countertop wonders are here toget your organics into compost where they belong — whether it’s your lunch break banana peel in the office or the coffee grounds from your sacred morning ritual at home.

Helping the environment, one scrap at a time.

We’re all about giving back to Mother Nature — and a green waste bin helps you do just that in an easy, eco-friendly manner.

Our green organic waste bins come in a wide range of sizes to suit any space — from mini 1L desktop bins for the office to 600L wheelie bins for apartment complexes and even 9L kitchen caddies for at-home food waste. 

Whether you use them at work, home, or in the classroom, you can make an environmentally-friendly choice and prevent food waste in landfill with our mean, green wonders. Remember — what may seem like a useless food scrap to you is actually a valuable resource to the environment!

Plus, our iconic green colour makes this bin super easy to use — especially if you’re looking to start your own colour-coded Ecobin collection. Green bin = organic materials? In this case, it is easy being green.

Our colour-coordinated system means you can set up a personal waste system that suits your recycling services and looks good at the same time!

FAQs

Organic waste is defined as any form of biodegradable material that comes from plant and/or animal sources.

Typically, this organic matter includes food waste (think vegetable scraps, coffee grounds and eggshells) and garden waste (such as leaves and grass clippings). You can also use our organic waste bins for bio-materials such as tea bags, tissues and paper towels.

Though items like compostable bags, biodegradable bags and compostable coffee cupscan be compatible with your organic waste bin, it’s always important to check that they meet composting standards before throwing them away to avoid any issues.

Having an Ecobin kitchen organic waste bin offers numerous benefits for both you and the environment.

By separating your organic material from your regular household waste,you’ll be leveling up your composting process. By creating nutrient-rich, quality compost that will enrich your soil, you’ll promote healthy plant growth that will have the neighbours trying to get a peek at your garden and help create a more sustainable ecosystem in your very own backyard.

Compostable liners are bin liners made from materials that also break down into compost over time. We recommend using them to line your green recycling bin.

Don’t be fooled by the name! Degradable plastic bags should go in your general waste bin.

Even though the term ‘degradable’ is in the name, these types of plastic bags contain heavy metals to assist the material in breaking down over the years, which can contaminate soil and water. As a result, degradable plastic bags and organic waste don’t get along very well, so we like to keep them separated where we can!
