Recycling bins that effectively change behaviours

Here at Method Recycling, we know the importance of educating the next generation about how to create sustainable habits and many schools have implemented Method bins to help teach effective recycling behaviours.

Method's beautiful bins are effective at helping people to create recycling as a habit with bold colours that match industry standards and clear graphics. Continued interaction with standardised bins makes recycling an unconscious habit.

Further, the beautiful bins create awareness and offer an opportunity to talk about and educate people about recycling. It's strange to think of a bin as a conversation starter, but many of our clients have found that the bins spark conversations creating the opportunity for a knowledge exchange; particularly with kids who are naturally inquisitive.
