Waste Bins

Keep your amenities clean, compliant and easy to maintain with our range of commercial-grade waste bins, available to buy online for projects across Brisbane, greater Queensland, New South Wales and Australia-wide. From compact washroom waste bins to high-capacity recessed units and sanitary napkin disposal solutions, John Barnes Group supplies durable, low-maintenance options designed for busy facilities and professional fit-outs.

Commercial Waste Bins for Modern Amenities

Our waste bins category focuses on robust, long-lasting products that perform in demanding commercial environments. You’ll find options suitable for office towers, shopping centres, education and healthcare facilities, public amenities and premium residential projects. Many units are manufactured in stainless steel with a modern satin finish, helping your bathroom waste bins blend seamlessly with contemporary architectural door hardware, partitions and other washroom accessories.

Choose from surface-mounted, semi-recessed and fully recessed waste bins to match your wall construction and design intent. Smaller capacities suit low-traffic areas, while larger receptacles are ideal for high-traffic amenities where frequent use demands generous volume and easy servicing. With options including both standard rubbish bins and sanitary napkin waste bins, it’s straightforward to specify the right mix for each cubicle, washroom or shared facility.

Designed for Hygiene, Safety and Daily Use

Hygienic and easy to clean

In busy amenities, hygiene is non-negotiable. Many of our waste bins feature smooth stainless steel internal surfaces, rounded corners and hemmed edges to reduce dirt traps and make cleaning faster and safer for maintenance teams. Satin or brushed finishes help disguise fingerprints and minor marks, supporting a clean, professional appearance throughout the life of the fit-out.

Space-saving recessed options

Where corridor widths or washroom footprints are tight, recessed and semi-recessed waste bins provide an excellent space-saving solution. These models sit within the wall cavity, reducing projection into circulation spaces while still offering generous capacity. Recessed waste receptacles pair especially well with recessed paper towel dispensers and other in-wall washroom accessories, giving your project a streamlined, contemporary look that complements modern front door and internal hardware selections.

Built to handle tough environments

Commercial waste bins must cope with constant use, occasional abuse and regular cleaning. The products we supply are engineered with robust materials, secure fixings and lockable access panels where required, helping them stand up to everyday wear and tear in public and semi-public spaces. Many units are designed for easy bag changes and efficient servicing, so cleaning teams can move quickly through large facilities without sacrificing presentation or hygiene.

Waste Bins for Different Projects and Applications

Commercial washrooms and amenities

For commercial bathrooms in offices, retail centres, hotels and hospitality venues, our waste bins help you balance aesthetics, hygiene and practicality. Pair recessed waste bins with matching recessed towel or combination units for a fully integrated solution, or choose surface-mounted units for retrofit projects where wall cavities are limited. With multiple capacities available, you can match the volume of each bin to the foot traffic of the area, reducing overflow and maintenance issues.

Education, healthcare and public facilities

Schools, universities, hospitals and public amenities need waste bins that are safe, vandal-resistant and simple to maintain. The sturdy construction and secure mounting options available in this range make them ideal for these environments, where reliability and long service life are essential. When you’re planning a larger project across Queensland or New South Wales, our team can help you standardise your waste bin selections across multiple buildings and sites, simplifying ongoing asset management.

Residential and mixed-use projects

While this category is geared toward commercial washrooms, many of these waste bins are also suitable for premium residential and mixed-use developments—particularly in shared facilities such as lobby bathrooms, pool amenities and gym change rooms. Their sleek finish and minimalist styling sit comfortably alongside modern front door hardware, internal levers and other architectural hardware from trusted brands like Lockwood, Dormakaba, Barben and Zanda, giving your project a cohesive visual language.

Capacities, Formats and Features

From compact to high-capacity

Whether you need a compact waste bin for a low-use washroom or a large-capacity unit for busy public amenities, you’ll find options across a range of litre capacities. Smaller bins are ideal where space is constrained, while larger recessed units are well suited to airports, shopping centres and stadiums where high volumes of waste are generated throughout the day. Several models include features such as hemmed edges, formed fronts and internal bag hooks for additional safety and convenience.

Surface-mounted, semi-recessed and recessed bins

Different projects call for different installation methods. Surface-mounted waste bins are quick to install and perfect for refurbishments, while semi-recessed and fully recessed models offer a flush, streamlined look where wall construction allows. Many recessed bins are designed to sit neatly within standard wall cavities, making them a practical choice during early design stages on commercial builds and fit-outs across Brisbane and beyond.

Coordinated hardware and finish options

Although the primary finish for commercial waste bins is usually stainless steel, the clean, neutral aesthetic works beautifully with popular hardware finishes such as matte black, polished stainless, chrome, nickel and brass. When you’re specifying architectural door hardware from Lockwood, Dormakaba, Barben or Zanda, you can be confident that our waste bins and washroom accessories will integrate smoothly with your wider hardware schedule, both functionally and visually.
