Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Merchant's Anchor, a busy pub in Bristol, needed to tidy up its main entrance, which was constantly littered with cigarette ends despite regular cleaning.

"We were fed up with the mess. We fitted the Bolero bin in about ten minutes and  it immediately made the front of the pub look more welcoming and  professional. Our cleaners are delighted."

David Chen – General Manager

This simple addition reduced entrance cleaning time by over 15 minutes a day and  significantly improved the first impression for arriving customers.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Choose a sturdy, non-flammable wall surface for mounting.
  • Position it at a convenient height for users, typically around 1 to 1.2 metres from the ground.
  • Use wall fixings appropriate for your wall type (e.g., brick, concrete) for a secure fit.
  • Double-check that the unit is level and  firmly attached before letting customers use it.

Keeping It Going

  • Simply unlock the unit to access and  lift out the galvanised steel inner tray for emptying.
  • Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a damp cloth and  mild detergent to remove grime and  restore its shine.
  • Occasionally check the lock mechanism is working smoothly.
  • Empty the bin regularly, especially in busy periods, to prevent overflow and  maintain a clean appearance.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Ashtray

Not sure which ashtray is right for your space? Here are a few things to consider before you buy.

Capacity vs. Footfall

How busy is your smoking area? A high-traffic pub garden needs a larger capacity than a small office entrance to avoid constant emptying.

Material Matters

For outdoor UK use, stainless steel is king. It resists rust and  corrosion, ensuring your investment looks good for longer.

Location and  Mounting

A wall mounted smoking bin like this one is perfect for tight spaces. Floor-standing models offer more placement flexibility but take up ground space.

Security Level

If your ashtray is in a public or unsecured area, a lockable model is essential to prevent vandalism and  tampering.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for models with a removable inner liner or tray. It makes emptying a quick, clean, one-person job.

It prevents tampering, stops opportunistic vandals from emptying it out for a laugh, and  crucially, contains the contents securely in windy or wet weather. This means your staff only have to deal with the cigarette ends when they choose to, keeping your outdoor area consistently clean and  safe without any nasty surprises.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants and  Cafés: Provide a designated, tidy spot for smoking customers away from outdoor dining areas.
  • Workplaces and  Offices: A perfect outdoor wall cigarette receptacle for staff break areas, keeping grounds clean.
  • Hotels and  Venues: A durable and  secure solution for managing public smoking areas stylishly and  effectively.
