What Makes London Bins the Superior Choice for Retail Centres?


The high quality, sleek round London Bin is Astra’s take on a modern litter bin with the aesthetics and hidden advantages that make it the perfect choice for retail centres. The finish of each London Bin adds a polished look to your average everyday litter bin whilst adding a sophisticated design element to communal spaces, especially shopping centres. There are a variety of slat options, some of which have been newly introduced, to ensure that the bin coordinates perfectly with different centre layouts as well as Astra’s range of London, Madrid and Athens Suite furniture pieces.

The hidden advantages that make the London Bins the superior choice for retail centres include:

  • The premium spun tops allowing for easier cleaning as there are no grooves where rubbish and dirt can get trapped
  • It has a heavy duty stainless steel support frame for increased lifespan!
  • Heavy internal cross brace for bolting down, if required, or can be left free standing
  • The slats are made from premium materials that are sustainably sourced
  • Premium polished covered tops are available
  • 304 stainless steel base frame for the added look of quality and longevity of performance in all conditions including coastal areas
  • Powder coated base & top options alternatively available
  • Supplied standard with a heavy duty plastic liner which is easy to remove, allowing for maintenance and emptying of the bin to be quick and efficient
  • Pedestal base and stainless steel chain lid attachments, as an optional extra


The London Bin is currently in multiple shopping centres across Australia including Carlingford Court and Ed.Square Town Centre. These centres uniquely chose the London Bin for their ‘stunning addition’ to the centre and the fact they don’t incur ‘breaks or damages and the liners are very heavy duty’, with both centres wanting to purchase more in the future. The London Bin was designed to please our clients, seen in the above case studies, with each bin being put through meticulous and precise design and manufacturing processes.

The design and manufacturing process is conducted entirely in Australia with the highest quality components, which guarantee fast lead times of standard bins. This also means that additional customisation features such as additional colours and slat options are possible upon request with appropriate lead times.
