easy-on | Birmingham City Council.

easy-on was chosen to protect Birmingham City Councils litter bins from damage & graffiti attack. easy-ons non stick properties prevent grease & dirt build up & enable the swift removal of graffiti.

With a population of over 3,600,000 the City of Birmingham is the UK’s most populous City outside of London. As you can imagine with that many people the job of keeping Birmingham clean and tidy is a massive one. Fortunately most of its dwellers are decent enough folk who paid attention at school and are prepared to do their bit to Keep Birmingham Tidy by using the 4500 litterbins that the Council provide.

Unfortunately litter bins like all street furniture bring with them there own unique set of challenges, not least of which is the seemingly unavoidable attraction that graffiti vandals have towards bins. Tags, fly posters and graffiti decorate most bins in a City but Birmingham’s Street Cleaning Service were determined to ensure this was not going to be the case with their new trash receptacles.

Before the bins were deployed Birmingham City Council officials had the foresight to protect their new batch with easy-on coating from Urban Hygiene. A single coat of easy-on was applied to every bin to ensure their resistance to graffiti, traffic film, UV damage and Fly Posters. This simple idea has guaranteed Birmingham’s litter bins will look like new for years to come and any graffiti or fly poster removal takes place in a fraction of the time it would have needed had the bins not been coated.

Birmingham’s brilliant bin idea has been copied by councils all over the UK and easy-on anti graffiti coating is now available on request from a number of quality bin manufacturers.
