Great question! If you're ordering twenty public waste bins, the process is actually pretty straightforward, but there are a few key steps you'll want to know so you can plan accordingly.
First, once your order is placed, we coordinate the logistics based on your location and the specific bin models you've chosen. Since twenty bins is a bulk order, they'll typically ship on pallets via a freight carrier—not a small package service. We'll provide you with a delivery window and a tracking number so you know exactly when they're arriving. Most carriers require a dock or a forklift for unloading, but if that's not available, we can arrange for a liftgate truck at a small extra cost. Just let us know in advance.
When the bins arrive on site, they're usually in a knocked-down or partially assembled state to minimize shipping damage and save space. Some models come fully assembled, but for twenty units, it's common to have the lids, liners, and base components shipped separately. The driver will drop the pallets at a designated location—like a loading dock, warehouse, or curb—and then it's over to you or your team to move them into place.
Now, for installation, it depends on your setup. If you're planning to mount them on concrete pads or anchor them into the ground, you'll want to have your site prepped ahead of time. Most public waste bins come with pre-drilled holes and mounting hardware. Our team can provide a simple installation guide, or if you prefer, we can arrange for a local installer to come out and handle the placement, anchoring, and alignment for all twenty bins. That service is usually quoted separately based on your location and site conditions.
Typically, from order to delivery, you're looking at 7 to 14 business days for stock items, and installation can be done within a day once the bins are on site. The key is to make sure the installation area is clear, level, and accessible. If you have any special requirements—like bins in different colors or with custom logos—let us know early so we can plan accordingly.
In short: order, ship, unload, place, and secure. It's a simple process that we can walk you through every step of the way. Feel free to ask for a custom quote that includes delivery and installation, and we'll make it as smooth as possible.
