Generation 50 Litter Bin

The Generation 50 Litter Bin is a contemporary, understated steel‑and‑wood waste receptacle designed by Robert Chipman as part of the Generation 50 collection. Available with top‑opening or side‑opening lids, it pairs warm wood panelling with powder‑coated steel to create a refined, modern interpretation of classic streetscape design. Its 30‑gallon (approx. 114 L) capacity and hinged top openings ensure easy, efficient servicing across high‑footfall environments.

The litter bin embodies this philosophy with its elevated combination of warm wood panels and powder‑coated steel, offering a contemporary yet familiar streetscape aesthetic. Designed by Robert Chipman, ASLA, a long‑standing collaborator, the Generation 50 Litter Bin uses sculptural detailing, precise geometry and high‑quality materials to complement companion benches and seating within the same collection. The bin is available in two service configurations : Top‑opening with a hinged lid for ergonomic emptying Side‑opening for installations prioritising frontal access With a 30‑gallon capacity, the bin is suited to busy civic spaces, promenades, higher‑education campuses, public plazas and commercial districts. A roto‑moulded black polyethylene liner is supplied as standard, supporting clean servicing and long-term durability. The base can be specified as either freestanding or surface‑mounted, enabling flexibility across hard‑landscape conditions. The bin’s wood components may include ipe, jarrah or thermally modified ash depending on specification, adding warmth and natural presence to public‑realm settings. Steel components are finished in Pangard II® polyester powdercoat, ensuring excellent resilience to weather, UV exposure and everyday wear. The Generation 50 Litter Bin offers a timeless yet contemporary solution that balances craftsmanship, sustainability and functionality—ideal for 3iS Transport clients seeking design‑led waste management within premium urban and architectural landscapes.
