Foot pedal buff bins may seem like a small detail, but they make a big difference. Especially in environments where hygiene and waste management are critical. With a hands-free design and colour-coded options, these bins support safer, cleaner practices in every department.
What Makes Foot Pedal Buff Bins Better?
Unlike traditional bins, foot pedal buff bins don’t require you to touch the lid. Reducing the spread of germs. Whether you’re working in healthcare, food service, or cleaning services, limiting contact is essential for keeping high-touch areas clean.
Sanitize Today’s 50-litre and 30-litre buff foot pedal bins are built from eco-friendly polypropylene and can be used both indoors and outdoors. The sturdy build means they hold up in high-traffic spaces, while the foot pedal mechanism makes daily use effortless.

Why Colour Coding Matters
Using different bin colours for different types of waste helps your team stay compliant and organised. It also reduces the risk of contamination across departments.
Here’s a common colour breakdown used in many South African facilities:
- Red – Hazardous or infectious waste (e.g. medical rooms)
- Yellow – Clinical or non-infectious medical waste
- Green – Organic waste or food prep waste (e.g. kitchens)
- Black – General non-recyclable waste
- Blue – Office paper or general recyclables

This system isn’t just for hospitals. It’s useful in schools, factories, restaurants, cleaning teams and anywhere that deals with different types of waste.
Choosing the Right Bin for the Right Department
Every space has different hygiene needs. The right bin colour and setup helps your team work smarter and safer.
- Medical rooms: Use red or yellow bins to manage waste responsibly
- Cleaning departments: Stick to red for hazardous zones, black for general
- Kitchens or food prep areas: Go with green for organic and food waste
- Office or admin: Choose blue for paper, or black for mixed waste
By using foot pedal buff bins, you’re helping your staff stay hands-free, organised, and aware. No matter the task. Both 30-litre and 50-litre options give you flexibility across departments and waste volumes.
