Today, outdoor trash cans can be perfectly matched to both the needs of users and the aesthetics of a given place. However, this wide choice can be overwhelming. We decided to help you in your first exploration of the market offer. We will talk about the specifics of different containers and the most interesting solutions.
Street trash cans - basic information
Looking at the construction, we divide trash cans into:
- free-standing bins,
- bins on a pole.
Both types can occur:
- trash cans with or without a roof,
- in a set - they then serve as waste segregation stations.
Depending on the main material of the body, you can choose from:
- steel,
- concrete,
- plastic (made of polyethylene or polycarbonate),
- plastic-steel (e.g. modernist transparent models),
- steel-wood (wood serves as a decorative element).
Material of street trash cans - what to know before buying?
All street trash cans in our offer are made of solid materials, which pass the test in difficult weather conditions. They are characterized by resistance to daily, intensive use and for years they will not lose their aesthetic values. In addition, these are certified trash cans.
Metal trash cans
They are made of galvanized steel. What does this mean in practice? The zinc layer makes the outdoor bin:
- does not require maintenance,
- the trash can gains anti-corrosive properties,
- is resistant to mechanical damage,
- the waste container is resistant to the harmful effects of chemicals.
The durability of trash cans is extended by additionally covering the galvanized surface with a layer of paint or varnish.
Metal trash cans owe their intense, uniform colors to painting using electrostatic spraying.
Plastic trash cans
They are made of high-quality polyethylene or polycarbonate. These materials are characterized by:
- very high mechanical strength,
- thermal resistance,
- resistance to UV radiation and fading,
- resistance to the harmful effects of chemical substances,
- lightness.
Plastic city trash cans can be mounted on a pole or attached to a wall. They are a durable, proven, and at the same time inexpensive solution.
Concrete trash cans
The biggest advantages of concrete street bins are:
- minimalist, aesthetic appearance, which works in most public open spaces,
- large mass and large sizes - thanks to them theft or destruction of such bins are practically impossible,
- resistance to difficult or changing weather conditions.
Concrete trash cans are finished with attractive stone, e.g.: river stone dyed red, black and white gravel, fine syenite.
City trash cans with wood
This is a very elegant solution. The bins show the same resistance as standard steel containers, but wooden slats add a more decorative and friendly character to them. Wooden elements:
- are covered with acrylic paint or varnish,
- are resistant to the harmful effects of moisture and UV rays,
- are made of good quality material, e.g.:
- light oak,
- rosewood,
- spruce.
Wooden elements of steel trash cans make such bins look very good: in parks, on promenades, in historic districts, at shopping centers.
