Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The 'Urban Grind' coffee bar in Leeds was struggling with messy, overflowing bins. Customers were confused about where to put different types of packaging, leading to contaminated recycling that their waste service would often reject.
"It was a constant headache. We'd spend valuable time every day re-sorting the bins. We needed a system that was foolproof for both staff and customers. The colour-coded Slim Jim station with these billboards was the answer."
Ben Carter – Owner
After implementing a full station, they achieved a 50% drop in recycling contamination within the first month, streamlining their daily clean-up process.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure you have your Slim Jim® Recycling Station base and connector ready.
- Line up the tabs on the back of the billboard with the slots on the station connector.
- Press down firmly and evenly until you hear a distinct 'click'. That's it, it's secure!
- For best results, pair it with a matching text-based waste stream label.
Keeping It Going
- Simply wipe with a damp cloth and a spot of mild soap to remove any spills or dirt.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, as they could dull the finish.
- Periodically check that it's still snapped firmly in place, especially in high-traffic zones.
- It's made of durable plastic, so it’s built to last but best kept away from direct heat sources.
