Metal waste bins for streets, parks and company premises
A metal outdoor waste bin is a practical choice when you need a sturdy yet lightweight product that can be fixed to paving, a wall or a post. In this category you will find models made of galvanised and powder-coated steel, stainless steel, as well as combinations with wood or plastic.
Worth knowing
Coating – hot-dip galvanising and powder coating protect the steel from corrosion, while stainless steel suits prestigious locations and damp environments.
Capacity – from compact 30–40 l post-mounted bins to 100 l and larger models for busy streets.
Extra features – ashtray, rain roof, lockable lid, inner bucket or bag holder.
Installation – on a leg set in concrete, bolted to the base or wall-mounted.
Tip
In places where people often smoke, choose a model with an integrated ashtray so cigarette butts do not end up scattered around. If you need to sort waste, browse our recycling bins category, and for very busy places where weight and stability matter, take a look at our concrete waste bins.
How is a metal outdoor waste bin fixed?
Depending on the model, the waste bin is bolted to the paving with anchors, mounted on a leg or stand, or its support is fixed into the base. Metal bins are lighter than concrete ones, so in public places it is worth fixing them so that wind or passers-by cannot tip them over. Choose anchors according to the base type – paving blocks, concrete or stone paving.
Galvanised or stainless steel – which should I choose?
Galvanised and powder-coated steel is well protected against corrosion, and the colour can be chosen to suit the surroundings. Stainless steel is unpainted, keeps its appearance for a long time and suits prestigious and damp locations. In this category you will also find durable plastic models that are lightweight and withstand UV rays and frost.
Can I choose the colour of the waste bin?
Yes. Many steel models are powder-coated in the RAL palette, so the colour can be matched to other street furniture or a corporate style. Some models are made in a standard colour – it is stated in the product description. Specify the colour you want when ordering.
What are lockable doors for?
Lockable doors protect the inner bucket from unauthorised people, vandals and animals, and only service staff can open them. This is especially useful at bus stops, on streets and in other places left unsupervised at night. You will find whether a model has lockable doors in the product's technical data.
How is a metal waste bin emptied?
Most models have a removable galvanised sheet bucket – you pull it out, empty it and put it back. Some models have a bag ring instead of a bucket, so you just need to change the bag. This saves service staff time.
Are there waste bins with an ashtray and a roof?
Yes, the category includes models with an integrated ashtray, a rain roof or both. An ashtray suits entrances, cafés and smoking areas, while a roof protects the contents from precipitation. For some models the ashtray can be chosen as an option.
How should I care for a waste bin with a wood finish?
The wood finish is made of impregnated and painted softwood or acacia. Clean the surface regularly, and when the coating wears, renew it with protective paint or oil. Washing the metal frame with water and a mild detergent is enough.
