The Friends of East Surrey Hospital has funded 12 brand-new recycling bins to enhance the experience for everyone across the hospital’s corridors and entrances. These bins are more than just an upgrade – they’re about creating a cleaner, safer, and more welcoming environment for everyone who walks through our doors.
Better for Patients and Visitors
- Clearer Waste Disposal: The new bins are standardised and easy to use, offering both general waste and recycling options at every station. This helps visitors and patients make the right choices effortlessly.
- A Cleaner Environment: Consistent and well-placed bins reduce litter and improve the overall cleanliness of public spaces, creating a more welcoming and professional atmosphere.
- Improved Hygiene: With their handless design, the new bins reduce unnecessary touchpoints, supporting better infection control and keeping everyone safer.
Better for Staff
- Easier Waste Management: Standardised bins mean less confusion about what goes where, making waste management quicker and more efficient for hospital staff.
- Cost-Effective: With recycling waste streams now readily available, disposal costs are reduced, freeing up resources for other essential services.
- Fire Safety: The new bins are fire-retardant metal, adding an extra layer of safety in hospital corridors and entrances.
Better for Our Hospital Community
- Visible Commitment to Sustainability: Seeing well-placed recycling bins in high-traffic areas reinforces the hospital’s dedication to environmental responsibility.
- Achieving Sustainability Goals: By improving recycling facilities, we’re helping the Trust move closer to its goal of increasing the recycling rate from 37% to 60%.
These new bins represent more than just waste management – they are a visible commitment to a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable hospital environment for staff, patients, and visitors alike.
Thank you for your ongoing support in helping us make East Surrey Hospital a place we can all be proud of. Together, we’re making a difference – one bin at a time! 🌍💚
