# Which recycling bin for a shopping centre?

By Razvan Toma (Founder, PoubelleTri) · updated 2026-09-25

## Short answer

A shopping centre is an ERP: above 1,100 litres of waste per week, it must offer the public sorting of at least two streams, packaging and paper on one side and biowaste on the other. In practice, 3-stream stations (with residual waste) at 90/100 L per stream are installed in the arcades and food areas, and outdoor stations fixed to the ground on forecourts and car parks.

## Shopping arcades and food courts
Large capacities (90/100 L per stream), lids or calibrated openings, signage readable from a distance. Models: ANDROMEDA, AURIGA, CALIFORNIA.

## Forecourts and car parks
Steel or stainless steel, rain lids, floor-fixing kit. Models: HANKO, KUOKIO, GENÈVE.

## Large projects
To equip an entire centre, with colours and signage matching the site's brand guidelines: custom quote.
