The Importance of Commercial Outdoor Trash Cans

Outdoor trash cans play a crucial role in maintaining cleanliness in public places. With a variety of available styles and materials, such as stadium stainless steel, perforated steel cans, plastic-coated trash cans, and galvanized steel cans, you can easily choose what suits your outdoor space best.

Awareness of the right trash cans for each setting proves beneficial in waste management. Here are some examples of suitable outdoor trash cans for different industries and settings:

• Restaurants: Restaurants often use sturdy stainless steel trash cans with a side entry square that allows for easy disposal. These commercial-grade cans have a large capacity to accommodate high volumes of waste.
• Stadiums: Massive galvanized steel trash barrels with lids that have small openings to prevent dumping of prohibited items are well-suited for stadiums and venues that need to handle over 100 gallons of waste. These cans are tall, durable, and weather-resistant.
• Parks: Parks benefit from colorful plastic or powder-coated steel trash cans that blend into natural surroundings. The capacity is usually 20-30 gallons.
• Schools: Schools place dent- and rust-resistant steel or rubber-coated steel cans, often in school colors, around the perimeter of the building. The attached lids prevent theft and vandalism. The capacity is typically 20-40 gallons.
• Retail: Sleek stainless steel or powder-coated steel cans that match store aesthetics are ideal for entrances and parking areas of retail stores. The capacity is often 20-30 gallons, with optional stainless steel dome tops to prevent rainwater collection.

How to Choose the Right Commercial Outdoor Trash Can Receptacles

Smart placement of trash receptacles can ultimately have a huge impact on the overall beauty and cleanliness of your facility. It's ideal to always have a waste bin within 25 feet of common visitor areas such as picnic tables, food vendors, and playgrounds. This makes it so that walking over to throw away garbage doesn’t feel like an inconvenience. If people feel like they need to actively search to find a trash can, they’ll probably end up littering. Choose your indoor or outdoor trash cans in styles and colors that are highly visible to make them easier to spot.

In addition to convenient placement, it is vitally important to maintain a consistent schedule of emptying your commercial trash receptacles. We offer outdoor trash cans in multiple sizes to cater to different site needs. A larger capacity is recommended for high-traffic areas like malls, shopping centers, and busy parks while a smaller capacity is perfect for offices, pool houses, and hotel hallways. We keep maintenance simple with top-down access or side door access on our garbage cans. For odor control consider adding a domed-style lid with a push-door or a swing-door lid to your trash can.

FAQs

How to maintain and care for commercial outdoor trash cans?

Just like indoor trash cans, outdoor cans require regular maintenance. This ensures their longevity and helps maintain their aesthetic appeal and functionality. Here are some care tips:

• Empty trash cans regularly to prevent overflowing, especially in high-traffic areas. A full schedule of waste removal is ideal.
• Wash cans periodically with a power washer or sanitizing cleaning solution to keep exteriors and interiors clean. Let dry completely before replacing any liners.
• Replace plastic liners frequently to limit the buildup of stains and odors. Use heavy-duty liners designed for rugged use.
• Inspect for damage like dents, cracks, and rust regularly. Fix or replace damaged cans promptly.
• Use a lubricant like silicone spray on hinges, wheels, and foot pedals to prevent sticking and allow smooth operation.
• For metal trash cans, watch for chipped paint or powder coating. Touch up paint as needed to prevent corrosion.
• Make sure lids close securely to keep pests out and contain odors. Adjust or replace parts like springs or bearings so lids function properly.
• Place cans in shaded spots when possible to limit sun damage and fading over time.

With regular cleaning and timely repairs, outdoor trash cans can maintain their aesthetics and provide years of reliable service.

How often do commercial outdoor trash receptacles need to be emptied?

This depends largely on their location, capacity, and the volume of debris generated. Generally speaking, it is important to clear out waste from commercial outdoor trash receptacles regularly to ensure safety and cleanliness. If the trash receptacle is in a high-traffic area, it may need to be emptied multiple times per week to prevent overflowing. For less populated areas, emptying the receptacle at least once a week should suffice.

For example, restaurant trash cans or bathroom trash cans that see heavy use might need to be emptied several times per day. On the other hand, outdoor trash cans placed in parks or dog parks could be emptied once daily or every other day, based on the volume of waste collected. The most important factor is that the cans are not left overflowing. This not only looks unpleasant, but it could also lead to litter when the weather gets windy or animals get into the trash.

How much do high-quality commercial outdoor trash cans cost?

The cost of a commercial outdoor trash can varies widely depending on several factors. This includes the material, size, design, and additional functionality it offers. For instance, high-end steel trash cans with heavy-duty thermoplastic coating can be costlier than a standard plastic trash receptacle.

Here are some typical price ranges:

• Basic plastic cans: $50 to $200. These are lightweight and the least expensive option.
• Powder-coated steel: $200 to $800. With a thermoplastic coating, these are rugged and resistant to rust, chips, and scratches.
• Stainless steel: $500 to $1000. Extremely durable stainless steel cans last for many years with proper care.
• Concrete: $1000 to $2000. Heavy concrete construction provides extreme durability and stability.
