Cigarette Bins – Fire-Safe, Secure Receptacles for Designated Smoking Areas

Cigarette Bins are specialised, fire-retardant receptacles designed specifically for the safe and hygienic disposal of cigarette butts and smoking waste in Australian workplaces, public venues, and commercial premises. Their critical function is to minimise fire risk associated with discarded butts and prevent littering, ensuring a clean and compliant outdoor environment for staff and visitors.

Maintaining safety and cleanliness in designated smoking zones is essential for WHS compliance and facility presentation. Verdex supplies a range of robust, weather-resistant Cigarette Bins, including wall-mounted and freestanding models, all engineered with oxygen-restricting designs to quickly extinguish waste. These units are a necessary addition to your Industrial Workplace Equipment.

 

Essential Features for Fire Safety and Hygiene

Unlike standard waste containers, these bins are meticulously designed to handle hot, smouldering refuse:

  • Fire-Safe Construction: Features restricted opening ports and inner liners that starve oxygen from smouldering butts, preventing internal fires—a crucial safety step far beyond what general Rubbish Bins can offer.

  • Secure and Weatherproof: Constructed from durable, often powder-coated metal or UV-stabilised plastic, ensuring longevity outdoors and preventing the waste from being windblown.

  • Tamper and Vandal Resistance: Equipped with lockable access points for secure disposal and emptying, preventing unauthorised access or emptying by vandals.

 

Effective Litter Control and Compliance for Premises

Cigarette Bins play a key role in managing the facility environment, especially at entrances and perimeter access points like those controlled by Boom Gates. They provide the necessary receptacle to enforce mandatory smoking regulations clearly communicated via Safety Signs and Warehouse Signs.

 

Critical Applications Across Commercial and Industrial Sites

These receptacles are vital in any area where smoking is permitted near critical infrastructure or access points. They are essential across major Australian sites and commercial facilities, including:

  • Manufacturing and Logistics Entrances: Placed near staff entry points and docks where workers clock on or take breaks, keeping production areas clean and compliant.

  • Hospitality and Retail Complexes: Positioned near outdoor seating, building entrances, and car parks to manage litter in high-traffic customer areas.

  • Office and Corporate Parks: Used at designated outdoor break areas near staff facilities, complementing internal waste solutions like Lunchroom Bins.

  • Workshops and Garages: Located outside the main building to prevent butts from igniting flammable vapours or materials stored inside, such as those near Tool Workbenches or Garage Workbenches.

For staff comfort in outdoor break areas, consider combining these bins with shaded spots and circulation provided by a Workshop Fans and Coolers, or providing sturdy surfaces like general Workbenches for sitting or placing belongings.
