That's an excellent question, and one we're happy to address directly. The plastic used in our outdoor trash bins is indeed designed with end-of-life recycling in mind. We primarily use high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene, which are widely accepted by municipal recycling programs in many regions. These materials are chosen not only for their durability to withstand harsh weather conditions but also for their recyclability.
At the end of its long service life, which can typically be many years, your bin can be cleaned and placed in your recycling bin in areas that accept these plastic types. We recommend checking with your local recycling facility for specific guidelines, as capabilities can vary. Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond just the product's use; we're dedicated to ensuring our bins don't unnecessarily end up in landfills. By designing for recyclability, we help close the loop in the product lifecycle, contributing to a more circular economy for plastics.
