Commercial Trash Cans and Smokers Outposts

1. Whether you're talking about employees or strangers, people just don't care as much about properly disposing of trash when they're not at home. Make it easy for them by providing plenty of large, prominently displayed trash cans.

2. Since commercial trash cans see a lot of abuse, make sure yours has a bag holder to keep the liner in place even after someone angrily throws away a full cup of terrible office coffee.

3. Especially in a public setting, it's important to keep trash cans clean to prevent the spread of germs. Plastic and metal trash cans are notably easy to sanitize.

4. Choose stone, concrete, or metal trash cans for use in a public outdoor space. They're weather-resistant and difficult for vandals to break.

5. Medical waste trash cans have foot pedals and self-closing lids, so they don't have to be handled in order to dispose of biohazardous materials, and also have chemically treated interiors to stymie the growth of bacteria.

6. Any outdoor commercial trash receptacle needs a lid to prevent raids by curious animals and to provide maximum containment even when the receptacle is overstuffed.

7. Commercial trashcans and cigarette urns don't have to be unsightly; in fact, they can add to the decor of your outdoor break room. Colorful coated perforated steel receptacles perk up your picnic area, while fiberglass versions add a modern, designer look.

8. Eliminating litter is all about preserving the natural environment, so don't spoil it with a gaudy trash bin. Recycled plastic trash cans or wood paneled models will blend in with the natural surroundings.

9. Don't let your outdoor break room look like it's been raining cigarette butts. A simple smokers outpost or urn is a small, inoffensive addition that controls the production of cigarette butts better than nicotine gum.

10. Combination trash/ash receptacles collect every type of litter in one central place, reducing the number of receptacles you'll have littering your space.
