URBAN TRASH CANS

I’d start by measuring the clear gap between the benches and checking how much servicing clearance you need. For most tight urban spaces, a slim rectangular steel litter bin with flat sides works best; round bins waste space and tend to catch on bench legs. Look for something roughly 12–14 inches wide, 24–30 inches high, and around 18–24 gallons, with a top or side opening, a rain hood, a removable liner, and feet or a mounting plate so it stays put. If floor space is really limited, a wall-mounted or bench-end litter receptacle can free up the ground, but make sure it is anchored securely and does not block accessible routes. For dual waste and recycling, choose a narrow modular dual-stream unit with two slim compartments instead of one wide bin. My shortlist would be: a slim covered rectangular litter bin for freestanding use, a hooded wall-mounted receptacle for very tight gaps, and a narrow dual-stream bin if you need recycling. Avoid anything wider than the gap allows, and keep at least a comfortable service path clear. If you tell me the exact gap width and whether you need one stream or two, I can narrow it down further.
