When storing absorbent kits outdoors the container that they are stored in has to be durable and be able to handle different weather conditions. Outdoor kits are typically available in wheelie bins, overpacks and response carts for outdoor storage.

Wheelie Bin Spill Kits

Wheelie bin containers are typically made of durable polyethylene to protect absorbents from moisture, dirt and damage. They usually have heavy-duty wheels which enable them to be transported over any surface, especially the rough surfaces you can find outdoors. These types of spill kits do not necessarily need to be stored right next to spill prone areas due to how easy they are to transport, they can be stored in a designated area outside and wheeled to a spillage quickly for fast response. For outdoor usage, a UV- protective cover is recommended.

Overpack Spill Kits

Overpack spill kit containers are also made of durable polyethylene and are chemical-resistant and water tight to protect contents, making them ideal for storing outdoors with a UV- protective cover. There is also usually extra protection inside the containers as the absorbents are packed in protective shields with a lid which provide long-term protection. These types of spill kit are usually available in green high-visibility containers as well as white making them stand out more and easier to locate in an emergency situation.

Spill Response Carts

Spill response carts are best for larger spillages and have solid sidewalls and a strong base which resists impact, frost and chemicals to help keep absorbent supplies protected. These types of containers can be wheeled to a spillage quickly so they don't need to be placed right next to potential spill areas and can be placed in designated outdoor areas. Some response carts are also lockable which prevents pilfering and helps you make sure you are always prepared.

Spills outdoors have the potential to damage the environment much more quickly and as long as you have a spill kit available you can prevent this from happening.
