Earth Anchors

Earth Anchors is a privately owned company that evolved from an engineering business called Townshend Castings Ltd, a company established during the 1950’s to supply engineering castings.

During the eighties Earth Anchors designed, developed and patented a range of ground anchors under the Rootfast® brand. These anchors were initially designed for use in the survey industry and latterly with British Telecom for the anchorage of telegraph pole guy wires. Following development of the Rootfast® system, a range of external furniture incorporating the anchorage system was designed.

The company was one of the first to recognise the need for dedicated dog waste bins and produced the ‘Healthguard®’ range of bins.

Now, years later, that first circular, red bin with black lid has evolved to become the classic ‘Red dog bin’ (HGN45) known and used by the British public. Today Earth Anchors produces a wide range of dog waste bins, litter bins, seating and picnic tables.
