Trash Containers

Trash containers used in industrial, food service, home, and other settings allow for the temporary storage of large amounts of trash items until they can be taken away to a dump or other disposal facility. The main difference in a trash container and a trash can is the quantity of matter held – with containers beating out their smaller counterparts. Trash containers are functional in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Types of Trash Containers

Trash containers made from plastic, professional-grade materials don't rust, peel, dent, or chip. Their strong, snap-on lids allow for secure and stable stacking. Such cans come with reinforced rims for added strength and durability. Reinforced double-ribbed bases allow for even more stability and the potential to drag containers. Some containers feature wheels on casters for additional ease in transport. Some offer bases that can be filled with sand or water for even more stability and security.

Outdoor trash containers are built to withstand extreme weathering and handling. Look for containers that are easy to clean and as maintenance free as possible. Slim containers might be a good option for environments with limited space. Steel containers with built-in ash trays are also available. Other materials include stone and wire mesh. Open top models (without lids) also exist.

Certainly, a large variety of decorative models are also available for those interested in a more stylized trash receptacle. Standard sizes include 25, 29, 32, and 44 gallon varieties.

Trash Container Lids

If you're planning on placing the container in a high traffic area, think about lids that will shut tightly to conveniently house fumes. All-plastic, professional-grade lid varieties don't rush, chip or peel. They also are resistant to dents and dings. These strong lids easily snap on and stack securely and stably. Handles are often built in to allow for efficient lifting and transport. These kinds of containers can easily be nested inside each other without jamming.

Some lids don't come off completely during everyday use but instead swing when you need to dispose of items. The lids can be completely removed when emptying. These are good options for hotel lobbies, restrooms, shopping malls, restaurants, and snack areas so that patrons don't have to deal with removing and replacing a lid.

Trash Container Dollies

Dollies allow for the easy mobility and maneuverability of heavy trash containers. Wheels swivel easy and some can withhold up to three hundred pounds. Many are also available in all-plastic, professional grade materials.
