Where bins should be stored in the yard and why.

This is an aerial photo with 3 areas outlined, an explanation of what each area should have in it, then a drawing of the used service bin area showing the layout when looking out the office window toward that area.

This was determined to be the best option based on the area and the purpose of the bins and how often they would be required, plus making it the easiest to count stock.

The red area should have only used service bins suitable for reuse.

The 240ltr bins should be in 4 rows across the side fence, 2 bins high.

Each row should be for one service type with dd bins closest to the container, pc bins next, gw bins next and cm bins last. As there shouldn’t be many cm or GW bins, this should leave space for 660’s and 1100’s across the front fence near the office.

This is a drawing of the stacks/rows as if looking from the office window toward the side fence along the front container:

The blue area should have only brand new bins in it.

The 240’s, 140’s, 120’s and 80’s should be inside the containers starting from the container near the rear fence closest to the trucks, in order of colour based on the stock count sheet, then 140’s next, around into the container along the side fence, then 120’s then 80’s ending near the pressure washer.

All 660’s and 1100’s should be on the concrete pad near the fork lift.

All bins should be in their stack maximums at the back of the row and the partial stacks in front of them so they are easy to access for less than stack quantities.

All lids should follow the same layout in the racks provided. All axles should be in the racks in the corner based on length.

All wheels should be in the tubs provided by Mastec and stored on the concrete pad.

No parts should be inside any stacks.

The green area should have only broken and damaged bins along the back fence starting from the back side corner working toward the trucks.

Then along the container should be used bins that are able to be resold, starting from the side fence working along the container toward the trucks.

If there are too many broken bins, we need to be made aware so we can arrange to have them disposed of. The fact that we had too many was only brought to our attention not all that long ago, and we need to arrange with Mastec to see if they will pick them up for free, or we need to drop them off on the tray truck over time, but either way we need a count of how many stacks of each size and how many are in each stack so we can let them know.
