URBAN TRASH CANS

Dealing with sticky gum on your outdoor trash bin can be frustrating, but it's a common issue with simple solutions. First, try hardening the gum by applying an ice cube in a plastic bag directly onto it for a few minutes. Once the gum is brittle, you can often scrape it off gently with a blunt tool like a butter knife or an old credit card. For any remaining residue, applying a small amount of peanut butter, cooking oil, or a commercial adhesive remover can help break it down. Let it sit for several minutes, then wipe clean with a cloth. For tougher stains, a mixture of warm soapy water or a specialized outdoor cleaner can be effective. Regular cleaning and promptly addressing spills can help prevent gum from becoming a permanent, sticky problem on your bin's surface.
