Collecting and removing trash and recycled goods is an important part of keeping your home attractive, tidy and well-organized.

Trash Can Materials

Considering materials is a great starting point when shopping for a new garbage can or trash bin. Options include materials suitable for outdoor and indoor use.

Outdoor Garbage and Recycling Bin Materials

Whether for professional or home use, outdoor waste bins must be durable and capable of withstanding exposure to the elements. These are commonly used materials:

  • Galvanized steel: Galvanized steel garbage bins are a type of metal trash can usually be designated for outdoor use. The material is durable but lightweight, which can make it easier to carry your garbage to and from the curb for collection.
  • Stainless steel: Like galvanized steel, stainless steel trash can products are largely for outdoor use. The material is thicker and more resistant to corrosion than galvanized steel, giving stainless steel trash cans the ability to stand the test of time. However, they are heavier and may be more difficult to move and maneuver.
  • Polyethylene: One of the most popular materials for outdoor trash cans, commercial garbage bins and recycling bins is polyethylene. It’s lightweight and able to hold up to the effects of abrasive materials, extreme temperatures and the effects of many chemicals.

Bathroom and Kitchen Trash Can Materials

Indoor garbage cans do not need to be as durable as outdoor cans, and are placed in kitchens, bathrooms and offices. Commonly used materials include:

  • Polypropylene: Thicker and less flexible than polyethylene, polypropylene is most often used for plastic kitchen trash cans and decorative wastebaskets.
  • Decorative materials: If you're looking for an indoor trash can that will match your furniture and home decor, you can choose from materials like easy-to-clean ceramic, durable resin and rustic bamboo.

Garbage Can Sizes and Shapes

Shape and size are also important considerations when you're shopping for recycling and trash bins.                       Manufacturers measure trash can size in both gallons and liters, with the larger the size of the can the more waste it can store. What you need depends on your household size.

If you're shopping for an outdoor garbage can for trash pick-up, check the regulations of your waste     management company before you buy. You may need to purchase a garbage bin of a certain size or shape, or one made from a specific material to comply with local rules.

For a kitchen trash can or other indoor garbage can, consider whether you prefer a product with an open top, a swinging lid or a foot pedal release mechanism.
