WHAT IS BIN SHIFT?
At BIN SHIFT, we think it’s complete rubbish how much waste goes to Landfill in Australia. So we created a 100% local solution to the waste crisis, built on the principles of sustainability, great design and education.
Australia is one of the most wasteful countries in the world. Recyclable and compostable materials are sent to landfill every day, never able to be recovered – this is unsustainable.
Our unique waste separation system has 1 landfill bin and 5 recycling bins that recover valuable resources to build a circular economy – this is sustainable.
SHIFT your waste disposal habits from unsustainable to sustainable!
With BIN SHIFT, waste separation and resource recovery is easy, stylish, made fun and is a better choice for our Earth.
HOW TO USE BIN SHIFT
At BIN SHIFT we believe waste separation and resource recovery begins inside, when the item in your hand is ready for the bin.
We make it simple… just follow these 3 steps FILL | EMPTY | REUSE to SHIFT your waste disposal habits from unsustainable to sustainable!
FILL
We all need to use a bin, sometimes multiple times a day. Let BIN SHIFT help you choose the right bin. Look at the icons on the front of the bin to know what to fill it with.
EMPTY
When your BIN SHIFT bin is getting full or collection day is looming, empty the contents into your outside bin or take to a collection point. Read the instructions on the back of the bin to know where to empty it.
REUSE
Your BIN SHIFT bin comes back inside and is ready to be reused over and over and over and over again!
Read about how to replace your BIN SHIFT bin in our FAQS.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
"Our office absolutely loved the education process associated with bringing the BIN SHIFT system into our workplace – it helped debunk so many myths around waste separation! Not only are we now managing our waste so much better at work, we are also taking these behaviours home to make a greater impact on the environment."
"BIN SHIFT is more than a well-designed system for sustainable waste management, it is an authentic, home-grown design story from concept to creation. There are myriad opportunities to explore BIN SHIFT through STEM pedagogy and the sustainability cross curriculum priority."
"BIN SHIFT perfectly fills a void in the market, whereby providing a product which not only assists with waste separation, but simultaneously educates."
