Automatic bin cleaners reduce the need for constant human contact, which is especially useful for high-traffic areas where exposure to germs or cross-contamination might be a concern. Along with diminishing the risk of contamination, an automatic cleaner will also save you time and energy. If your facility frequently has more than one person using their trash bin at the same time, you’ll appreciate how this enhances efficiency and eases collaboration by keeping both bins clean.
Here are four great benefits of automated bin cleaning:
Prevents Cross-Contamination
Isolating one user’s trash in his container eliminates risks like cross-contamination from shared refuse. This is particularly important for food storage. At the same time, some items – like dairy products – are kept in the refrigerator, others – like meat – are stored briefly outside of refrigeration to be sorted or discarded. Keeping food items separate prevents spoilage and reduces the risk of contaminating other containers.
An automatic bin cleaner can also prevent cross-contamination through germs. When bins are constantly being opened and closed, it’s easy for bacteria to spread from one user to another. An automatic opener minimizes this risk by decreasing exposure time between users. What’s more, an automated compartmentalizer will make sure each person gets his clean receptacle for sorting refuse.
Increases Efficiency
With every opening cycle, an automatic bin cleaner enhances efficiency by reducing human mistakes through consistent use and thorough cleaning. In addition, since most cleaners operate on a timer, they ensure everyone is using the same receptacle at the same time for each sort – virtually eliminating confusion, delays, and unnecessary steps.
An automatic bin cleaner allows you to focus on more important tasks rather than sorting through refuse or cleaning multiple containers. It also makes it easy to switch between bins during peak hours – says from recycling to composting or vice versa.
Improves collaboration
Cleaning, removing, and replacing trash bins are tedious tasks that can break up workflow when many employees are involved in sorting waste throughout their shift. While an automated opener still requires some daily maintenance, it frees up your employees to devote less effort towards waste management and more time towards other activities like service or product development. An automatic bin opener makes it easier to work together by keeping everyone working with the same shared tools.
Lessens Human Contact
An automatic bin cleaner reduces human contact, minimizing exposure to germs, cross-contamination, and other health risks associated with refuse disposal. This is especially important in high-traffic areas where more employees are likely to pass through multiple times throughout the workday. In addition, since an automated bin uses a timer to increase efficiency, it also means less exposure for each user – minimizing the chance of illness or infections.
An automatic opener also decreases the number of people touching your receptacles daily, further enhancing safety and sanitation levels within your facility.
