It’s rubbish to litter! At Amberol our vision is to keep Britain tidy and how better to do so than to teach our younger generation to dispose of their waste responsibly. With customisable messages our educational bins speak every time rubbish is thrown into them, affirming positive pupil behaviour. Most effective in flocks, Ambere and Percy Penguin are highly successful in places where young people meet, learn and play such as school playgrounds and parks.
Novelty talking and singing bins are a great way to promote recycling in school playgrounds!
What are the benefits of our talking bins?
Deliver the right message - our educational bins, Ambere and Percy Penguin can be fitted with an optional 2GB voice box and volume control that allows you to record your own message or song to activate every time rubbish is thrown into them.
Promoting recycling - are educational bins are available in 18 standard colours which means that you can easily colour code different bins for different uses. We also have options for including clear WRAP approved labelling for recycling purposes.
Our bins are robust - our playground bins are made from a hardwearing recycled polyethylene making them virtually maintenance free and vandal resistant.
