Convenient & Secure Public Trash Cans for Cleaner Neighborhoods
Well-placed and frequently serviced, secure trash cans are essential for keeping public spaces clean and free from waste. When bins overflow or are difficult to access, trash ends up on sidewalks and in streets, creating a safety hazard, attracting pests and making urban areas look and feel neglected. A reliable trash collection infrastructure helps maintain the cleanliness and safety of our communities.
Trash cans in high-traffic areas, such as downtown districts, require adequate capacity and regular servicing to prevent waste overflow. Without sufficient waste containment, rubbish spills onto sidewalks, cluttering streets and posing health and safety risks. This process is frequently disrupted by people rummaging and even breaking into trash cans in search of items of value, scattering trash on the ground and often causing criminal damage. Cans are sometimes set on fire, and whether this is deliberate or accidental through careless disposal of cigarettes for example, this can cause considerable damage, requiring repair or even complete replacement. In some cities, trash in bins provides a ready buffet for rats, but enclosing them can also cause issues with people not wanting to touch anything due to hygiene concerns.
Choosing secure enclosed trash cans will ensure you can deliver an effective solution for managing waste in public spaces. Designed to prevent people forcing them open or reaching in through the opening, withstand frequent use and resist vandalism, these bins help keep streets cleaner and safer. metroSTOR’s range of public waste bins is built to prevent overflowing, deter pests and reduce the risk of waste littering and recycling contamination.
