There's More to the WasteBasket than Waste!

Although wastebaskets are usually taken for granted, they must serve whatever function their owner assigns them to. The size of a wastebasket, its shape, the material it's made from, the color and the placement of the wastebasket, can be a source of irritation or pride and effectiveness. Should you wind up with the situation of having an undersized wastebasket for the amount of waste created every day, your wastebasket will unrelentingly be full and overflowing and it will be a great source of irritation to you. So, with that in mind, what is the average volume of waste you generate in a day? How often does the service staff empty the basket? How you view each of these aspects affects the optimum size of the waste paper basket you require.

The positioning of the basket in the room is also a consideration. For example, there are usually practical limitations on what will fit under your desk and still be useable. Allocation of space in the office must also accomodate the various patterns of use the waste basket will be subjected to. If you require a large basket, an artistic piece can be arranged to merge the basket into the room furniture. Whether it is intended that it be located behind another object, beside or beneath a desk or in that unused corner, you are trying to strike a balance between useability, accessibility and attractiveness.

Waste basket shape can also affect the best choice for your waste basket. Wastebaskets come in a variety of shapes. Choose a basket that is sturdy, functional, and appropriately decorative. Round wastebaskets that taper at the bottom can become unstable when full whereas, round wastebaskets with straight sides offer better stability. Rectangular wastebaskets will also offer good stability. If you propose to use the basket in conjunction with your paper shredder you should likely choose the wooden rectangular ones that are wholly compatible with standard paper shredders.

You will, then, need a wastebasket that is fairly large located close at hand where waste from numerous 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 likely be visible for all your guests to see. You could get your maintenance personnel to empty this basket several times a day and more often on days when you are on a cleaning spree. If the waste paper basket is tastefully arranged amidst the other furnishings it could be an attractive arrangement. If it is made of finely finished hardwood that blends and matches with the mill work of the room or complements the woodwork of the furnishings, it would appear aesthetically pleasing.
