Knowing when to swap out your outdoor trash bin isn't always obvious. Here are clear signs it's time for a replacement. First, check for physical damage. Large cracks, holes, or significant rust, especially on the bottom or sides, can lead to leaks and attract pests. If the lid no longer seals properly or is broken, it won't contain odors or keep animals out. Next, consider persistent odors and stains. If a foul smell lingers after thorough cleaning, or if deep stains and grime are embedded in the plastic, the bin may be beyond saving. Finally, assess functionality. A bin that's overly difficult to move, frequently tips over, or is consistently too small for your household's waste is more of a nuisance than a help. Generally, a quality plastic bin lasts 5-10 years, while metal ones may last longer but are prone to rust. Investing in a new, sturdy bin improves curb appeal, keeps your space cleaner, and makes trash day much simpler.
