The inside scoop on outdoor waste management

Your outdoor space can get messy. Whether it is from extreme weather, wildlife, or even a child with an ice cream cone, maintaining clean and litter-free outdoor areas can be tough. But this cleanliness is crucial for your business, both aesthetically and environmentally. To this end, trash bins can be your best friends. Frequently placed, easily accessible outdoor trash cans and recycling containers are your top tools in managing a clean, beautiful space. This guide will answer your questions about durable, cleanable, and attractive outdoor trash and recycling bins.

What is the difference between indoor and outdoor trash and recycling cans?

Outdoor trash cans are rugged, weather-resistant containers designed to keep outdoor spaces clean and tidy. Unlike indoor trash cans, commercial outdoor trash cans feature heavy-duty construction with materials that can withstand year-round exposure to the elements. These outdoor disposal bins are perfect for parks, outside buildings, and other public spaces, offering a convenient spot for rubbish removal.

What does multi-stream mean?

When considering outdoor trash and recycling solutions, think about whether you need multiple 'streams' available in one location or a single 'stream.' Streams refer to the type of refuse you will be collecting. Regular garbage, recycling, and compost are different streams and require separate receptacles. Multi-stream systems allow you to have multiple waste collection options in one location, promoting effective waste segregation and recycling.

Where should I place my outdoor trash cans?

To maximize efficiency and cleanliness, it is smart to place outdoor trash cans and recycling bins in high-traffic areas - near seating, recreation, and playground areas where the need for trash and recycling disposal is higher. Ensure that rubbish bins are always within sight to encourage proper waste disposal.

What can is right for me?

When selecting outdoor trash and recycling cans, consider the following factors:

Look and color: The appearance of your trash cans can impact the overall look of your outdoor space. Choose colors and designs that complement the environment, whether you prefer sleek metal finishes or natural stone looks.
Duty requirements: How much of a licking will your bins need to take? Normal duty cans are suitable for areas with moderate traffic and weather exposure. But if you are planning a high traffic area with exposure to harsh weather elements, heavy duty trash cans are likely a smarter option.
Materials: There are several options when it comes to outdoor bins: metal, stainless steel, plastic, stone, and wood-look materials. In areas prone to wildlife, it is smart to use animal-resistant trash cans to prevent messes and ensure safety.
User Demographics: Who will be using your trash cans? Is the space accessible to the public at large or just your workers? A galvanized steel trash can may be ideal for an industrial setting, but not for a public park. Also - is smoking permitted in the area? Ash receptacles are an option on many models.

With the right choices, you can optimize your rubbish removal process and ensure your space remains tidy and compliant with waste management standards. Global Industrial provides a diverse range of options to suit every requirement.
