The smallest of the Continental recycling range, the Continental 500 is ideal for both your indoor and outdoor waste storage needs with the ability to fit through a standard-sized doorway due to its small footprint and compact design.
Its compact size also reduces the risk of overloading when filled with heavier materials making it perfect for the collection of glass or other heavy recyclates such as food waste.
Fully EN840 certified the Continental 500 is built with quality in mind and is ideal for collecting heavy waste whilst maintaining safety. It offers over 10 years of proven performance making it cheaper compared to its plastic alternatives over the container's lifetime.
The Continental 500 litre is also available with Fork Lift Pockets or a Foot Operated Lid as well as a wide range of colours and other options.
