exeter sustainability awards 2024
A couple weeks ago, we were awarded Highly Commended in the Micro Business category at The Exeter Sustainability Awards.
Binit started with the aim to get litter of the streets of Exeter, and this wonderful city is our home ground. It is an honour for our efforts to be recognised.
It is great to be surrounded by a community of like-minded businesses and moving forward we are sure there are big impacts that will be made to Exeter and beyond by this community!
The event was catered by one of our lovely customers Bel’s Kitchen. Cecilia Manosa Nyblon who spoke at our previous Big Binit Breakfast, delivered an inisightful presentation on her work for COP28 We Are the Possible.

all about waste management
Binit’s core aims are to get litter off the streets and to reduce heavy vehicle movements. We don’t run our own vehicles, but we own the bins and we are developing tech in these bins. Each Binit bin has a unique QR code that takes you to our bespoke customer service platform.
where does it go?
Well where it goes depends on what waste it is and who takes it away. At Binit, we believe in sending your waste to the best possible end destination. This means that we don’t send any waste to landfill.
