The Pickwick Litter Bin has the option to be either weighted down with a concrete base, or by fixing them to the pavement or similar surface with fixing bolts.
The Pickwick Litter Bin can be supplied with a choice of concrete ballasts allowing you to put the bin in use straight away. Alternatively you can buy with the ground fixing option, taking a small amount of time to install. The bin will be fixed securely to the ground until physically unmounted and moved.
For the weighted base, the bins require a 750 x 750 x 80mm circular base. Simply insert this into the bin. The concrete ballast must be requested on order of the bin.
Adding weight to the container, however in this case, the weight is added to the interior of the bin. The litter or recycling bin base is filled with the concrete ballast to create an internal base weight and root the bin to the ground.
Concrete ballasts are suitable for temporary, seasonal, or new developments applications and where the risk of vandalism and theft is low.
Utilising ground fixings will allow your bin to be permanently fixed to its location. The fixing bolts are inserted through the fixing holes in the base of the bin and driven into freshly drilled holes in the ground, allowing the container to be attached to the surface securely.
It is recommended to use ground fixings wherever possible when securing your bins in place, to provide additional resistance to vandalism, theft, or unauthorised removal.
