The Thunder Group PLTC023G is a straightforward, open-top plastic waste bin with an 87 litre capacity, constructed from high density plastic in a neutral grey finish. It is designed for general waste collection in commercial kitchen and back-of-house environments where a reliable, no-frills receptacle is needed.
In a working kitchen, a bin of this size earns its place at a prep station, behind the pass, or in a pot wash area. The capacity is sufficient for moderate continuous use through a busy service without requiring constant emptying, and the open-top design means staff can dispose of waste quickly without handling a lid during peak periods.
- High density plastic construction resists daily knocks and contact with waste materials
- Open-top access keeps pace with fast-moving kitchen workflows
- Neutral grey finish suits general back-of-house use without standing out
- Practical size for stationing at prep areas, pot wash, or service points
- Easy to rinse out and dry between services for basic hygiene maintenance
There are no particular installation requirements — the bin is freestanding and requires only enough floor space to site safely without obstructing walkways or fire exits, which is worth considering in tighter kitchen layouts. It is not a lidded or pedal-operated bin, so for waste streams that require containment or odour control, a covered option would be more appropriate.
This bin is well suited to smaller operations, secondary waste points in larger kitchens, or anywhere a practical, lightweight receptacle is needed at short notice. For high-volume sites generating significantly more waste, a larger or heavier-duty bin may be the better choice.
If you are fitting out a kitchen and want to make sure you have the right waste management setup for your volume and layout, our team is happy to help you think it through.
From £48.49(£58.19 inc VAT)
The Thunder Group PLTC032G is a large-capacity, high-density plastic waste bin designed for back-of-house use in commercial kitchens and food service environments. At 121 litres, it offers a practical solution for collecting general waste, dry waste, or recyclables without requiring constant emptying during a busy service period.
In a working kitchen environment, waste management is often an afterthought until it becomes a problem. A bin of this capacity suits busy prep areas, pot wash stations, and service corridors where smaller bins get filled too quickly and become a workflow interruption. High-density plastic construction holds up well against the knocks and kicks that are part of daily kitchen life, and the grey finish is a common choice for back-of-house areas where a neutral, unobtrusive appearance is preferred.
Practical advantages for kitchen operators include:
- Large 121 litre capacity reduces the frequency of emptying during service
- High-density plastic construction resists cracking and impact in busy environments
- Compatible with an optional open-centre lid to allow easy, hands-free disposal
- Smooth interior surfaces support quick cleaning and basic hygiene maintenance
- Neutral grey finish suits back-of-house and service corridor use
There are no installation requirements — this is a freestanding unit that works wherever it is placed. It is worth confirming that the footprint suits your available floor space, particularly in tighter prep areas or corridors where movement of staff and stock trolleys needs to remain unobstructed. For sites generating higher volumes of waste, or where segregated waste streams are required, larger or additional units may be worth considering.
This bin is well suited to commercial kitchens, canteens, catering operations, and food production facilities looking for a reliable, no-fuss waste container for general back-of-house use. It is a straightforward product, but if you are trying to work out the right number of units or bin placement for your operation, the team is happy to help.
From £53.32(£63.98 inc VAT)
The Thunder Group PLTC044G is a large-capacity plastic waste bin designed for back-of-house use in commercial kitchens, catering facilities, and food service environments. Built from high-density plastic in a neutral grey finish, it is straightforward in purpose: reliable containment of kitchen waste at volume.
In a working kitchen, a bin of this size earns its place during long service periods where frequent changeovers interrupt workflow. The 166-litre capacity means less time managing waste and more time focused on service, which is a practical advantage in high-throughput environments such as contract catering, events kitchens, and busy restaurant back-of-house areas.
- High-density plastic construction resists knocks and daily operational wear
- Large capacity reduces the frequency of bin changes during service
- Neutral grey finish suits most back-of-house environments
- Compatible with an optional open-centre lid for added hygiene control
- Straightforward to clean down at the end of service
There are no installation requirements — this is a freestanding unit that simply needs adequate floor space in a suitable back-of-house area. Consider the footprint when positioning near prep stations or wash areas, and ensure the location allows for straightforward liner removal and replacement without obstruction.
This bin is well suited to operations generating significant waste volume during service — hotels, contract caterers, events venues, and larger restaurant kitchens. For smaller operations or front-of-house use, a lower-capacity bin may be more practical; for very high-volume sites managing food waste at scale, it is worth considering whether a more robust or purpose-specific waste solution would better fit the workflow.
If you are unsure which capacity or configuration suits your site, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
From £15.19(£18.23 inc VAT)
The Thunder Group PLTC023K is a straightforward, open-top plastic waste bin with an 87-litre capacity, made from high-density plastic in a standard black finish. It is the kind of reliable, workhorse item that commercial kitchens go through in volume — practical, easy to clean out, and simple to replace when needed.
In a busy kitchen environment, waste bins take considerable punishment. High-density plastic handles daily knocks, spills, and rough handling better than lighter domestic alternatives, and the open-top design keeps disposal quick and unobstructed during service. The black finish helps mask staining over time, which is a practical consideration in heavy-use areas.
This bin is well suited to general back-of-house waste collection — food prep areas, pot wash stations, and service corridors where a large-capacity, no-fuss container is needed. The 87-litre volume is large enough to reduce how frequently bins need emptying during a busy service, which helps keep workflow moving.
There are no installation requirements — this is a freestanding item needing no fixings, utilities, or ventilation considerations. It is worth checking that the footprint fits comfortably in the intended location without obstructing movement, particularly in tighter kitchen layouts. If you use standard bin liners, confirm liner sizing against the bin dimensions before ordering in bulk.
For lower-volume sites or areas where a smaller footprint is needed, a reduced-capacity bin may be more appropriate. Conversely, very high-throughput kitchens generating significant waste volumes may find a larger or lidded model better suited to their needs.
If you are unsure which bin configuration or capacity suits your kitchen best, the team is happy to help you work it out.
From £19.82(£23.78 inc VAT)
The Thunder Group PLTC010W is a 38-litre open-top waste bin constructed from high-density plastic. It is a straightforward, practical waste collection solution suited to general-purpose use in commercial kitchens, front-of-house areas, and back-of-house utility spaces.
In a working kitchen, reliable waste management is a basic operational requirement. A bin of this capacity handles a reasonable volume of general waste during a service period without needing constant emptying, and its open-top design means staff can dispose of waste quickly without interrupting their workflow. The white finish makes it easy to spot spillage or soiling, which supports basic hygiene monitoring.
High-density plastic construction holds up well to the day-to-day knocks and wear of a commercial environment — it is resistant to impact and straightforward to wipe down or rinse out between uses. Practical points worth noting:
- Open-top access suits fast-paced waste disposal during service
- White finish helps identify when cleaning is needed
- High-density plastic resists cracking under normal commercial use
- Lightweight enough to move and empty without difficulty
- Suitable for use with standard bin liners
This bin is well suited to smaller kitchens, prep areas, serving stations, or anywhere a moderate-capacity general waste receptacle is needed. It is not designed for heavy-duty outdoor use or wet-waste applications where a lidded or specialist bin would be more appropriate. For higher-volume sites or areas requiring segregated waste management, a larger or more specialised option may be worth considering.
If you are equipping a new kitchen or rationalising your waste management setup and want a straightforward steer on what works in practice, the team is happy to help.
From £15.19(£18.23 inc VAT)
The Thunder Group PLTC023R is a straightforward 87-litre waste bin finished in blue, intended for recycling streams in commercial kitchens, serveries, and back-of-house areas. The blue colour coding aligns with widely used recycling waste segregation schemes, helping staff sort waste correctly without additional signage or instruction.
Constructed from high-density plastic, the bin is designed to hold up to daily handling in busy catering environments. High-density plastic resists cracking and impact better than standard-grade alternatives, which matters in kitchens where bins are moved frequently or subjected to rough use during service.
For a waste bin, the practical advantages are straightforward:
- Blue colour coding supports standard recycling waste segregation
- High-density plastic construction handles daily commercial use reliably
- 87-litre capacity suits most back-of-house and dry recycling applications
- Smooth surfaces make cleaning and wiping down quick and straightforward
This size works well in kitchens where a single dedicated recycling point is sufficient. For higher-volume sites generating significant recyclable waste across multiple stations, a larger capacity bin or a multi-bin system may be more practical. Conversely, for tight spaces or front-of-house use, a smaller bin from the same range may be a better fit.
If you are putting together a waste management setup across multiple kitchen areas or need to match bins to a specific colour-coded scheme, we are happy to help you work through the options.
From £27.54(£33.05 inc VAT)
The Thunder Group PLTC020G is a 75-litre open-top waste bin constructed from high-density plastic. It is a straightforward, practical piece of back-of-house equipment designed to handle general waste in commercial kitchen and food service environments.
In a working kitchen, a reliable waste bin needs to hold up to repeated use throughout a shift without cracking, warping, or becoming difficult to clean. High-density plastic construction resists the knocks and impacts common in busy kitchen environments, and the neutral grey finish is well suited to areas where appearance is secondary to function.
- High-density plastic construction resists cracking and impact damage
- 75-litre capacity handles substantial waste volumes during service
- Open-top design allows quick, unobstructed disposal during busy periods
- Smooth interior surfaces make cleaning straightforward between services
- Neutral grey finish is practical for back-of-house use
As with any waste bin placed in a commercial kitchen, consider its positioning carefully — it should be accessible without creating an obstruction in high-traffic preparation or service areas. For kitchens generating higher waste volumes, or where larger bins are needed at a single collection point, it is worth considering whether a higher-capacity option would reduce how frequently the bin needs to be emptied during a shift.
This bin is a practical choice for small to medium kitchens, prep areas, serveries, and staff areas where a mid-sized general waste container is needed. It is not a specialist clinical or hazardous waste receptacle.
If you are fitting out a kitchen and want to talk through waste management requirements across the whole space, the team is happy to help.
From £15.19(£18.23 inc VAT)
The Thunder Group PLTC023B is a straightforward, open-top waste bin with an 87-litre capacity, manufactured from high-density plastic in a brown finish. Brown-coloured bins are commonly used in commercial kitchens and food service operations to designate a specific waste stream — typically general food waste or mixed refuse — making them a practical choice where colour-coded waste segregation is in place.
High-density plastic construction holds up well to the demands of a busy kitchen environment. It resists knocks from foot traffic and trolleys, tolerates regular cleaning with standard kitchen chemicals, and doesn't corrode in wet or humid conditions. The open-top design allows quick, hands-free disposal during service, which matters when staff are moving fast.
- Suitable for colour-coded waste segregation systems
- Open-top design allows rapid disposal during service
- High-density plastic resists impact, moisture, and common cleaning chemicals
- Brown finish helps staff distinguish waste streams at a glance
- Straightforward to clean and maintain between services
There are no installation requirements — this bin is freestanding and requires no fixings, plumbing, or electrical connections. Consider placement carefully in relation to workflow; positioning near prep areas or pass-throughs reduces unnecessary movement during service. If your operation generates significant waste volume across multiple stations, it's worth thinking about how many units you need and where they'll be located before ordering.
This bin is well suited to small and medium-sized catering operations, cafés, school kitchens, and care home kitchens where a reliable, easy-to-manage waste container is needed without the complexity of a pedal-operated or lidded unit. For sites with very high waste output or strict odour-control requirements, a lidded alternative may be worth considering.
If you're unsure how many bins you need or which configuration works best for your waste management setup, we're happy to talk it through.
