Cigarette Bins

By installing cigarette bins near entrances and smoking shelters you provide workers, visitors and customers with a convenient and safe place for people to dispose of ash and cigarette ends. Helping to reduce smoking-related litter, these keep workplaces clean and tidy, as well as reducing the risk of a fire starting.

Many cigarette bins these days are designed to extinguish the cigarette when dropped inside by limiting the oxygen which would be needed for it to continue burning. Plus, some also feature an area which is safe for smokers to stub them first.

Modern Cigarette Bins: Safe, Stylish, and Secure

We feature a range of bins which are freestanding and wall mounted, meaning you can select the one which best suits your premises. There is also a choice of sizes, with smaller ones designed for smaller workplaces and larger capacity bins designed for high-traffic smoking areas, such as shopping centres and high streets.

Most importantly we feel, our cigarette bins are stylish too. These won’t look out of place when installed on site, keeping good-looks in mind, and they’re all easy to empty and clean out too. All of our bins are lockable, which means you haven’t got to worry about vandalism or other security issues.

How do I dispose of cigarettes UK?

Disposing of cigarettes responsibly is crucial for maintaining environmental cleanliness and protecting wildlife. In the UK, cigarette butts are classified as non-recyclable waste and should be disposed of in designated general waste bins or pink sacks. Never flush cigarette butts down the drain, as they can contaminate waterways and harm aquatic life. To prevent accidental fires, ensure cigarette butts are completely extinguished before placing them in the bin. Additionally, consider using portable ashtrays or pocket-sized pouches to collect cigarette butts when public bins are unavailable.

Do you extinguish cigarettes in metal bins?

You should extinguish cigarettes in metal bins designed for cigarette disposal. These bins are typically made of flame-retardant materials and have openings that are small enough to restrict oxygen flow, aiding in the extinguishment process. However, it is crucial to ensure that the cigarette is completely extinguished before placing it in the bin to prevent any risk of fire. Additionally, avoid overfilling the bin to maintain adequate airflow and prevent the accumulation of heat. When using a metal bin, always exercise caution and follow proper disposal guidelines to minimise fire hazards.

What is the material of the cigarette bin and does it have a fire-resistant lining?

Cigarette bins in the UK are typically made of galvanized steel, which is a corrosion-resistant material that is also fire-resistant. To further enhance fire safety, many cigarette bins feature a fire-resistant lining, often made of galvanized steel or other fire-retardant materials. This lining helps to contain any potential fire and prevents it from spreading to the surrounding area. The specific materials and features of cigarette bins may vary depending on their location and intended use.

Does the cigarette bin have a self-closing lid?

Whether or not a cigarette bin has a self-closing lid depends on the specific bin design and its intended location. Some cigarette bins, particularly those located in outdoor public spaces, feature self-closing lids to prevent wind from dispersing ash and cigarette butts. Self-closing lids also help to contain unpleasant odours and prevent rainwater from entering the bin. Additionally, these lids can help to prevent accidental fires by reducing oxygen flow and preventing the escape of lit cigarette butts. However, not all cigarette bins have self-closing lids. Some bins may have manually operated lids or no lids at all.
