School Bins
And we’re here to help them protect it. At Ecobin, we believe sustainability starts early—and that classrooms are one of the most powerful places to begin. That’s why we design school bins that are colourful, practical, and built to teach our future generation how fun recycling can be.
Whether you’re fitting out classrooms, corridors, or playgrounds, our school recycling bins are made to help young Aussies learn how to sort waste properly while keeping their environment clean.
Our range of bins for schools includes colour-coded options for landfill, recycling, organics, soft plastics, and more—making sustainability part of your daily routine.
WHY SCHOOLS LOVE ECOBINS
It’s all about colours! You don’t need to think about recycling so much, it’s a piece of colour in front of your eyes.
From our experience with kids, the younger ones love the colours because they’re still learning to read the signs and the older ones love them because they don’t want to read a sign (no matter how big it is)!
Our classroom school recycling bins aren’t just visually engaging—they’re built for real life. Lightweight, durable, and made to last, every Ecobin helps reduce your school’s environmental footprint while keeping things tidy.
Whether it’s a bin for soft plastics in the staffroom or a full colour-coded setup for every classroom, EcoBin supports waste education that sticks.
