Compact. Compliant. Completely Mobile. Meet the UN-BOXX® 60L Solid Hazardous Waste Container.

When you’re managing hazardous waste in a fast-paced environment - like a busy industrial workstation, automotive garage, or maintenance depot, you don't have space for bulky, awkward drums.

You need a solution that fits your workspace, protects your team, and keeps you 100% compliant with strict ADR hazardous waste regulations.

The UN-BOXX® 60L is specifically engineered to bring heavy-duty, UN-certified safety into a compact, highly mobile footprint.

Why the 60L Model is a Workspace Game-Changer:
• UN-Certified Protection: Don't let the size fool you. It is fully approved for the collection and transport of solid hazardous goods across Packaging Groups I (X), II (Y), and III (Z). Perfect for contaminated wipes, oil-absorbent pads, paint cans, and filters.
• Fits Anywhere: Designed with a narrow, space-saving profile that tucks seamlessly under workbenches or directly alongside machinery.
• Effortless Mobility: Built with heavy-duty wheels and a lightweight, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) frame. It glides over workshop floors so you can collect waste right at the source without breaking your back.
• Optional Extension Handle: Need a little extra height? You can equip the 60L model with an optional extension handle, giving you even better ergonomics and effortless control when moving heavy loads around the site.
• Smell-Proof & Spill-Proof: Features a patented dual-clasp lid sealing system that creates an airtight, liquid-tight barrier. No leaks, no hazardous fumes escaping into the room.

Stop treating hazardous waste like regular rubbish. Upgrade to a mobile, ergonomic system that improves your shop floor efficiency, protects your staff, and passes every regulatory inspection with flying colours.

Healthcare wastes are defined as any wastes that result during a healthcare procedure.

Some of these wastes (known as clinical/infectious waste) may be hazardous to those that come into contact with them and are subject to strict controls. Even activities that are not directly or indirectly related to healthcare can generate similar type wastes that need special attention.

Potential small producers of healthcare and healthcare type waste include:
• First Aid Rooms at schools and work environments
• Alternative Practitioners – eg, chiropractors, acupuncturists, non-NHS physiotherapists
• Beauty Salons
• Care Homes (with and without nursing care)
• Companies dealing with drugs-related litter (not including local authorities)
• Gymnasia
• Learning Disabilities Homes (residential, day care and respite)
• Nurseries
• Private Clinics
• Private Podiatrists/Chiropodists
• Tattooists

A key part of effective waste management and legislative compliance is the segregation of wastes at source.

Infectious wastes and other dangerous goods are subject to regulations regarding their transport and have to be contained in special UN tested and approved packaging. The use of ordinary bags or containers is not permitted.

The UN-Certified ClinicBOXX® is a great way to ensure your waste is stored safely and responsibly for disposal. Certified to Authorised Packaging Groups I (x), II (y) and III (z), and in accordance with ADR, which means it can take highly infectious contaminated !

Utilising the right clinical waste container can significantly reduce the risks to both the and public health.

Are empty aerosol cans taking up valuable space in your salon or business?

For hair salons, barbershops, and beauty outlets, products like hairspray, dry shampoo, and styling mousse are everyday essentials. But once those cans are empty, or partially empty, they can quickly become a hazardous waste and compliance issue.

Throwing them into standard bins or storing them in bulky industrial drums isn’t ideal. It can create safety risks, compliance concerns, and unnecessary clutter.

That’s where the UN-BOXX® Aero 60L Wheeled Bin comes in.

Designed specifically for tight, commercial spaces, it solves the compliance headache without getting under your team's feet.

Why it's a game-changer for small businesses & salons:
• Compact Footprint (Only 40cm x 40cm): It easily tucks away in a staff room, under a counter, or in a tight storage cupboard. You get full compliance without losing precious workspace.
• Built-In Ventilation System: Used aerosols can slow-leak residual gases. The UN-BOXX® Aero features integrated air openings in the body and lid to guarantee reliable air circulation, preventing dangerous gas build-ups indoors.
• Fully UN-Certified (UN 1950 & ADR Approved): It is legally approved for the safe storage and transport of dangerous goods. When your waste contractor comes to collect it, it’s completely ready for the road.
• Highly Mobile & Ergonomic: Equipped with 2 wheels, it’s incredibly easy to wheel through narrow corridors, doors, or salons when it’s time for collection.
• Easy Drop-In Option: Available with a lid aperture (rubber slot), allowing your team to drop empty cans straight in without having to constantly open the lid.

A smarter way to protect your staff, stay compliant, and keep your workspace clutter-free.

Game Changer for Small Kitchens: Smart Oil & Waste Collections, Right Under Your Counter

Small, bustling commercial kitchens are masterclasses in spatial geometry. When every square inch of floor space is prioritised for prep lines, pass-throughs, and line cooks, traditional, bulky waste bins simply don't fit the equation.

If you are managing a boutique kitchen, a busy café, or a tight urban restaurant line, handling used cooking oil or heavy food waste usually means tripping over awkward drums or risking messy spills.

Enter the Fatboxx Easy 60L Wheeled Bin - specifically engineered to solve the "zero space" crisis in small commercial kitchens.

The standout feature of the Fatboxx Easy 60L is its compact blueprint. Standing at just 76 cm high, it is explicitly designed to slide directly under standard commercial kitchen countertops and stainless-steel prep tables.

Instead of taking up valuable floor space in your walkways, it stays tucked away entirely out of sight until you need it.

For Used Cooking Oil (UCO)
Pouring hot oil into a plastic container is usually a recipe for a melted disaster. However, the Fatboxx is manufactured from high-grade HDPE that can safely take liquids up to 110°C (230°F) without deforming or compromising the structure.
• The Spill Proofing: It features a patented, heavy-duty snap-lock lid with an airtight rubber seal. If the bin gets knocked over, it won't leak a single drop, and it completely locks in foul odours.
• Visual Tracking: Available translucent body options let you see exactly how full the oil is against the internal scale, making collection schedules a breeze to manage.

For Food Waste
Food waste is incredibly heavy and prone to liquid pooling. The Fatboxx tackles this with a clever piece of engineering: deeply rounded internal corners and a smooth base.
• Residue-Free Emptying: Traditional square bins have tight corners where old food scraps wedge themselves, rot, and become impossible to clean. The smooth, rounded bottom of the Fatboxx ensures that when it's tipped, 100% of the contents slip out smoothly.
• Cleaner Bins: Because nothing gets stuck in the corners, wash-down times are cut significantly, reducing bacteria buildup and keeping your tight kitchen space smelling fresh.

A full 60L bin of oil or organic waste can be heavy and difficult to move. The Fatboxx is fitted with two wheels at the base, allowing staff to manoeuvre it easily to the fryer or loading bay for collection, while supporting safer manual handling practices. An optional extension handle is also available.

🚑 Supporting Local Heroes: Proud to Sponsor SARS Volunteer Joe Dowsing

We’re proud to share some great news. For the next two years, Peter Ridley Waste Systems is officially sponsoring Joe, a volunteer responder with Suffolk Accident Rescue Service (SARS), helping him stay road-ready when our community needs him most.

SARS is a specialist medical charity supporting the East of England Ambulance Service at serious incidents. Their highly trained volunteers bring advanced clinical skills and specialist equipment straight to the patient, at the roadside or at home, essentially delivering Emergency Department-level care when every second counts.

Because SARS receives no central government funding, their lifesaving work depends entirely on the generosity of local businesses and individuals.

Our sponsorship helps cover the costs of keeping a responder operational, including:
• Specialist training: supporting ongoing development in advanced pre-hospital care.
• Life-saving equipment: from portable monitors to critical trauma and airway kits.
• Vehicle costs: maintenance and fuel to reach patients quickly and safely.

But don’t take our word for it – please take two minutes to watch our interview with Joe and to see the impact SARS makes.

You can explore how your business can support them by visiting their Corporate Partnerships page to learn more: https://sars999.org.uk/corporate-partnerships/

To donate, visit: https://sars999.org.uk/donate-to-sars/

Please join us in wishing Joe a safe and successful two years of responding, and in thanking every SARS volunteer who shows up when it matters most. 💙
