Answers to the questions we hear most. If something's still unclear, .
Method bins are designed and made in New Zealand. The Sixty is made from injection moulded Polypropylene, including 50% recycled materials sourced from local post-consumer and post-industrial sources. The Twenty is made from injection moulded Polypropylene, including 80% recycled materials.
We suggest one Method Recycling Station per 10–20 employees, adhering to our recommendation that every worker should never be more than a ten-second walk from recycling bins. Use our Solution Finder tool to make selection simple for your business.
We have put together a bin placement guide to help you place your Method bins to maximise their effectiveness.
Method bin bases come in our signature matte black colour. The lids are coloured and labelled to match industry standards. See the full range in your area on our shop, or get in touch if you need something out of the ordinary.
Waste streams differ depending on the geographical location of your recycling bins. Our Solution Finder tool can help create a suggested Method Recycling Station based on your region and office size. We suggest ensuring your waste streams match those of your site’s larger waste facilities.
Method’s recycling bins facilitate effective separation of waste and recyclables — we do not collect the waste. We’ve put together a guide to help you select a waste provider in your area.
Many workplaces simply place bins next to each other. We also offer Connectors so you can lock Sixty Litre bins side-by-side, to a wall, or back-to-back — particularly useful in high-traffic areas to stop bins from moving.
The Connectors come in 2 or 3 bin station sizes. Larger stations can be made using the Expansion Kit, which attaches two Connectors together. For example, a 4-bin station uses two 2-station Connectors with an Expansion Kit, and a 5-bin station uses a 2 and 3 bin Connector with an Expansion Kit.

Use a soft cloth and a mild non-abrasive detergent. We advise against washing Method lids in your dishwasher, or rinsing Touch lids, as this may result in damage to the product.
Precyclers can be washed by hand with a soft cloth and a mild detergent, or safely washed in your dishwasher.
The bins have been designed for an internal environment, therefore we advise against keeping them outside.
We are committed to being responsible for end-of-life processing through our End-of-Life Bin Return Programme. Method’s bins are made from #5 plastic which curbside programs won’t accept, so we organise recycling with local providers. If bins are still usable, we refurbish them and donate them to local charities.
If you have bins, accessories, or parts that are at the end of their life, get in touch with us and our team will help arrange the return and responsible recycling or refurbishment.
