Building Professionals of Texas provides a complete range of trash and cigarette receptacles that are affordable, “Green” and designed to suit any décor theme both indoors and outdoors. We also provide receptacles that match with local and State standards for health, hygiene, and fire safety.

Commercial buildings may require several types of receptacles, including outdoor trash cans, cigarette disposal units, recycling stations, hands-free restroom receptacles, heavy-duty containers for cafeterias or break rooms, and small under-desk bins.

While the fundamental needs may be alike from building to building, the capacities in question will differ. A high-rise building may need 18-gallon receptacles in the rest rooms while a small office room may need only 2-gallon bins. Offices must conform to fire regulations, which may need call for containers made of specific standard-set materials, like metals or approved plastics.

Recycling Programs

Many business establishments are concerned about placing emphasis on recycling. The rise of the green movement is encouraging more and more companies to adjust their business practices to be more ‘green.’ The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification is one that many corporate leaders consider a stamp of ‘green approval.’

Building Professionals of Texas can help your business earn LEED points by helping in the induction and implementation of recycling agenda or program. This would use color-coded recycling wastebaskets to sort trash into glass, plastic, and other categories. Our cleaning personnel will then drop the loads off at local recycle centers regularly.

Healthcare Facilities
Hospitals, nursing homes and other health care facilities mostly have the same waste receptacle requirements as in business buildings. However, in such areas, there are more rigid policies for fire safety, dangerous equipment management and control of exposure to blood-borne pathogens.

Step-on containers are available in most locations. Specifically, in locations where medical waste is disposed of, such as in patient rooms, labs and emergency rooms, these receptacles are marked red (the signal color for medical waste). We can even customize them to include a biohazard mark upon your request. Hospitals often also want a single big container that can be used to collect, transport and ship toxic waste. Collection bins for all linen are required by state laws in all health care facilities.

Food Service
In the food service business, appropriate durability and capacity are the primary features that one should seek in waste receptacles. Restaurants need trashcans that are big enough to bag a hectic dinner rush and that are manufactured using materials that are resistant to leaks, stains, and wear and tear.

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) food regulations require receptacles to include hinged lids that entirely cover waste when closed. To reduce restaurants’ remuneration claims, it is also important that these containers be easy to carry to the dumpsters.

Space is often extremely limited in restaurants, cafeterias, and other food service facilities, specifically in small family restaurants and homes transformed into a restaurant. Space-saving designs, like wall huggers or corner unit receptacles, tender huge capacity while staying within a budget.
