That's an excellent question, and one that more cities are taking seriously. The answer is increasingly "both." Many municipalities now prioritize sourcing public trash bins made from post-consumer recycled materials, often recycled plastics like HDPE. This gives a second life to items like milk jugs and detergent bottles. Furthermore, leading manufacturers design these cans for end-of-life recyclability, using single-material components where possible. This approach supports a circular economy, reducing virgin material use and landfill waste. So, when you see a sturdy public bin, it might very well be part of a sustainable loop, made from old packaging and destined to be recycled again. It's a small but meaningful step in greener urban infrastructure.
Are the materials used in your urban trash cans recycled or recyclable?
