That's an excellent question, and one we hear often. The lead time for a custom urban trash can isn't a one-size-fits-all answer; it really depends on the specifics of your project. Generally, you can expect a timeline ranging from 4 to 12 weeks from the final approval of your design and the receipt of your deposit.
Several key factors influence this timeline. First is the design complexity. A simple, standard bin with a single color will be much faster to produce than a highly customized model with unique shapes, multiple color coatings, or integrated smart technology. Second is the quantity. A smaller pilot order might be turned around more quickly, while a large bulk order for a city-wide deployment naturally requires more production time. Finally, the material you choose—whether it's galvanized steel, stainless steel, or a durable plastic—also impacts the manufacturing process and sourcing of raw materials.
