Compact reverse vending for small, staffed sites.

The compact front-of-house choice

Mini is the starting point when a store or workplace needs an easy-to-find return point without taking over the floor. Its job is a focused visitor journey: show the eligible containers, accept or reject each item clearly, and give staff a straightforward collection routine. It is a better fit than One when usable floor space and back-of-house access are the main constraints; it is not the default for a site with long unattended collection intervals.

Configure around the real return stream

Bring the containers visitors will actually return, including label variations and damaged examples. We test the proposed intake and recognition path against that sample set and document accepted and rejected formats. The site review checks approach space, a safe door swing, electrical access, connectivity and the route for removing a full container. A compact cabinet still needs a workable service envelope.

Daily operation and connected options

Name the person who checks the station, clears a rejected item, changes a container and records a collection. Cloud can give that team a site-status and activity view; Connect can pass agreed acceptance events to an existing application. The chosen event set and software access belong in the proposal, alongside equipment and training.

What to send for a Mini proposal

Send a floor plan or measured location, photos of the approach and service route, representative packaging samples, expected opening hours and the name of the operating team. We return a proposed configuration and a list of tests needed before procurement.
