Custom galvanized steel fabricated waste bin

Introduction

At Kejani Cleaning Services Limited, we are committed to providing customized, durable, and professional waste management solutions to institutions across Kenya. One of our most innovative and impactful projects to date has been the design, branding, and supply of a custom-made galvanized steel waste segregation bin system for a high-traffic public institution in Nairobi.

In this case study, we highlight the design process, challenges solved, materials used, branding considerations, and the long-term benefits of using custom galvanized steel bins for waste segregation.


The Client: A Nairobi-Based Medical College

The client was a large medical college and research center with over 2,000 daily users, including students, faculty, and patients. They required a long-lasting and secure waste segregation solution for indoor and outdoor use across their campus.

Key Client Requirements:

  • Robust material suitable for both indoor and outdoor weather conditions

  • Clearly color-coded segregation system

  • Institutional branding for visibility and awareness

  • Easy to clean, corrosion-resistant, and tamper-proof

  • Lockable lids to prevent unauthorized access or dumping


The Solution: Custom Galvanized Steel Waste Segregation Bin

We proposed a modular waste bin unit made from heavy-duty galvanized steel with the following features:

🔩 Materials Used

  • Galvanized Steel Sheet (1.2mm thick): Rust-resistant, weatherproof, and easy to sanitize

  • Powder-Coated Finish: Each bin coated in distinct waste segregation colors:

    • 🟢 Green for organic waste

    • 🔵 Blue for recyclables

    • ⚫ Black for general waste

    • 🟡 Yellow for infectious waste

🎨 Custom Branding

  • Bins were laser-cut with the institution’s logo and waste category labels

  • Multilingual stickers (English + Swahili) for inclusivity

  • Reflective waste symbols for visibility in low light

🛠️ Design and Functionality

  • Triple-chamber unit, with each section holding up to 80 liters

  • Foot pedal mechanism for touchless opening

  • Inner plastic liner buckets with handles for easy waste removal

  • Lockable lids for outdoor bins to deter scavengers and prevent spillage

  • Ventilation holes to reduce odors
