The Waste Basket - An integral part of your Office!

Every office has one and whether it is evident or not, the wastebasket can be made to serve many different purposes. The capacity of a wastebasket, its shape, the material it's fabricated from, the color and the positioning of the wastebasket, all can serve to annoy or satisfy it's owner and others. The situation of having an undersized wastebasket for the amount of waste created each day is not at all desirable as your wastebasket will always be full and overflowing. To avoid this being a great source of irritation to you, analyse the average volume of waste you generate in a day and how often the waste basket is emptied. The answer to these will determine the size of the basket you require.

Placement of the waste basket in the room is also a consideration in the specific interior design of the room. Placement next to other furniture items or artistic pieces can strategically make the room warmer and friendlier. If you plan to partially hide the wastebasket under a desk, ensure that it is sized for easy access as an overly large one will be unusable. Allocation of available space in the office must also accomodate the various patterns of use the basket will be subjected to. Whether it is intended that it be located behind another object, beside or beneath a desk or in that unused corner, you are attempting to strike a balance between useability, accessibility and attractiveness.

There are a variety of sizes and shapes for modern baskets that need to be considered in your application, and shape can affect your best choice. Stability can be a concern with a tapering basket that could be subject to toppling over under full loads, forcing unneccessary clean ups. So the waste paper basket you use as a primary waste recepticle should be sturdy, flat bottomed and small. Perhaps consider round wooden ones or rectangular ones as they are as stable as they are functional. If you propose to use the basket in conjunction with your paper shredder rectangular wastebaskets will easily accomodate most of these shredders.

A good addition to your waste strategy can be the use of a wastebasket that is fairly large located close at hand where waste from a number of smaller baskets can be emptied at periodic intervals. This wastebasket will likely have to be in an reasonably accessible area - perhaps at a convenient corner - but will be obvious and in plain view of all. Extra large wastebaskets positioned in central locations like a reception area or near a photocopier will assist in enhancing the decor. Waste baskets made from genuine wood will accent office desks and wood moldings and chair rails. Your wastebasket will be a matter of pride to you.
