Louise Kenny started the topic Waste Bins in the forum
Miscellaneous 7 years, 10 months agoI am looking to source good quality bins with a sensor on the lid for operating them. As I work in an area with people with a lot of physical disability they cannot use foot pedal operated bins.

Miscellaneous 8 years agoDear colleague,
