The litter bin was conceived to be side-loaded for ergonomic servicing.  It is made of High Compaction Concrete – with an aggregate colour matching that of the bench – onto which is hinged an aluminium casting door.  A two-stream recycling / general waste version has a top lid with two apertures shaped to indicate their respective function.
