When it comes to choosing trash cans, size is one of the most important factors. If you choose a trash can that is too big for a room, it takes up valuable floor space and can be an eye sore. On the other hand, a trash can that is too small will need to be emptied repeatedly and can affect productivity or cleanliness.
For an effective trash removal program, consider the volume of your business and the amount of waste you produce daily. In a high-volume restaurant, you may need several large trash cans for your back-of-house areas. For front-of-house, you may want to utilize smaller, discrete cans in the sight of guests. Space-saving slim cans can be used next to counters and in areas where you need a small foot-print.
When determining what type of trash or recycling can you need, think about where you'll be placing your receptacle, how much waste it will hold, and if it will need to be transported. For example, the inside of a doctor's office will need a different trash can for the exterior of their building than their patient rooms, and perhaps even their lobby. Take a look at the various types and styles of trash cans available to determine which are best for your business.
Made with high-quality, commercial-grade materials, commercial trash cans are designed to withstand heavy-duty use in any fast-paced environment. They typically come in a round or square shape and range in size from 6 gallons to 150 gallons. Commercial trash can is an umbrella term for a wide variety of different trash can styles, so it is important to know the location you plan to place your receptacle when choosing the type.
Below are some specialty styles of commercial trash cans.
Maintain a clean and inviting outdoor facility, park, or stadium with outdoor trash cans. They are made with heavy-duty plastic, steel, or concrete to last in any kind of weather, and boast covered or partially covered lids for convenient disposal of discarded goods while keeping unsightly trash out of sight. In addition to withstanding the elements, some outdoor trash cans are designed to be animal resistant. Their reinforced construction and locks protect against repeated clawing and chewing by bears, making them great for campgrounds, parks, and complexes.

Use an industrial trash can to handle large loads of waste. They are ideal for warehouses, manufacturing plants, landscaping businesses, and construction sites. Industrial trash cans can come with casters to easily maneuver them to larger waste receptacles or are stationary to serve as a dumpsite for large amounts of trash.
Below are some common styles of industrial trash cans.
Perfect for front entryways, conference rooms, waiting rooms, and lobbies, decorative trash cans come in different styles and colors to blend into your venue for inconspicuous waste management. You can choose between indoor and outdoor and whether you want a decorative trash can or a decorative recycling bin.
Below are some common styles of decorative trash cans.
Maximize the available square footage with space-saving trash cans. They are great for use in small kitchens, bathrooms, and offices that have little available space. Many of these trash cans have a slim profile and are designed to fit in corners, hug walls, or fit into a recessed cutout.
Below are some common styles of space-saving trash cans.
Responsibly dispose of plastic, glass, tin, aluminum, and paper by placing commercial recycling bins throughout your facility. Wherever you place your bins, it is a good idea to communicate to your staff and guests what materials for good for recycling or if your bin is only for recycling a certain material. For example, not all plastic can be recycled the same way so it is beneficial to post signs or graphics identifying which items can be recycled.
Below are some common styles of recycling bins.
Trash can and recycling bin parts and accessories replace missing or broken parts, lengthen the lifespan of your garbage can, and can help users easily transport the cans.
