Wybone Provide an Answer for Stirling Scotland

Stirling, Scotland has long suffered from outdated waste collection practices as current residents leave their purple sacks on the street ready for collection on Tuesdays and Fridays at 07:00 a.m. This method often sees sacks ripped open, litter blowing down the streets and even rodents being spotted looking for some breakfast. These issues have caught the eye of many residents and visitors of the historic city, including the University of Stirling’s student ‘Brig Newspaper’ who shared images and complaints of the current set up back in 2022.

Well since then Stirling and Wybone have been planning the long anticipated “rethink” and just last week installed the new Wybone Bin Hubs across four locations in the city, as a trial run. Residents will deposit their waste into these large capacity hubs which will then be emptied by a municipal truck. This boasts many many benefits, starting with the sightly improvements of clean streets and the absence of purple sacks, but more importantly no ripped bags or loose litter means no rodents. The bin hubs act as wheelie bin housings for large capacity 1280 litre bins. The bins themselves are of course self contained which means animals cannot get in through the bottom of the bins and once waste has been deposited it will sit in the large footprint of the bin and cannot be pulled back out. The housings add to this security with locked doors preventing unauthorised access and a seriously strong steel construction means no rust, no corrosion, no damage and no break ins. 

Wybone staff travelled up to Stirling to help install the bins in the four trial locations: King Street, Friars Street and two units on Queen Street where the trials will be taking place, with the hope to roll out the wheelie bin housings across the whole city if successful.
