URBAN TRASH CANS

Dealing with sticky residue or chewing gum on your urban trash bin can be frustrating, but several simple methods can solve this problem effectively. For fresh gum, try the ice method: place a few ice cubes in a plastic bag and hold it against the gum until it hardens. Once brittle, use a blunt object like a spoon to scrape it off easily. For sticky adhesive residues, common household items work wonders. Apply a small amount of cooking oil, peanut butter, or rubbing alcohol to a cloth and rub the residue until it dissolves. Then, wipe the area clean with soapy water. For tougher jobs, a commercial adhesive remover or Goo Gone can be highly effective—just follow the product instructions carefully. Always remember to wear gloves for protection and test any cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area first to prevent damage to the bin's surface. Regular cleaning with a mild detergent can also help prevent future buildup, keeping your bin hygienic and odor-free.
