Let's clear things up

Our standard bin is with yellow and black. Custom RAL colours, vinyl wraps, and waste stream messaging are available on request. Email ballotbin@hubbub.org.uk for a quote.

Everything you need to get your Big Ballot Bin up and running:

• Big Ballot Bin
• 2 customisable question panels
• Door key (to empty the bin caddies)
• Lid key (to swap the questions)
• Mains plug

Dimensions: 1410mm (H) × 872mm (W) × 525mm (D)
Weight: ~150kg

The combined capacity of both inner bin caddies is 240 litres.

The bin can be placed indoors or outdoors, as long as it’s connected to mains power. It comes weighted to stand securely on its own, but can also be bolted down (fixings not included) if desired.

Unlock the front door, slide out the inner caddy, and replace the liner. Once the caddy is back in place, lock the door – the flipdot counter automatically pauses while the door is open.

Each bin includes removable metal question plates. To update your question:

1. Print your new question card using our downloadable template.
2. Place it on the metal plate.
3. Slide the plate back into position — the card should sit flush between the metal plate and clear front panel.

UK orders are delivered within 8 weeks (often sooner). For international timeframes, please get in touch at ballotbin@hubbub.org.uk.

Yes, the bin is sealed around all edges using advanced welding techniques (MIG/TIG), with its electronics and flip dots protected inside. The powder-coated exterior and AP120 Primer give extra protection against rain and rust.

It features a simple plug-and-play setup, connecting to standard mains power (230V, 50Hz) to run the sensors, flip-flops, and electronic modules.

In the unlikely event of a fire, the power trips automatically to shut it off. You can also add a fire-suppressing brick to your order for an additional £150.
