That's a great question! Our most popular model for outdoor use is the "Commercial Guardian 50-gallon" trash can. Many customers choose it for its ideal balance of capacity and user-friendly design.
To answer your question directly: its standard height is 42 inches (or approximately 107 centimeters). This height is carefully chosen based on extensive feedback. It's tall enough to hold a substantial volume of waste—50 gallons—without being so tall that it becomes difficult for most people to use comfortably. The opening is at a convenient level for disposing of trash without excessive bending or lifting.
Along with the 42-inch height, its other key dimensions are a diameter of 24 inches (61 cm) and a weight of about 38 pounds (17 kg) when empty. This sturdy, medium-tall profile makes it a versatile choice for various settings. You'll commonly see it in city parks, on college campuses, along walking trails, and outside shopping centers. Its size deters pests, contains odors effectively, and fits well alongside public benches and in designated waste collection areas.
We offer this model in several durable materials, including powder-coated steel and stainless steel, to withstand different weather conditions. So, if you're planning a public space or commercial area and need a reliable, appropriately sized receptacle, the 42-inch-tall Commercial Guardian is often the perfect fit.
