URBAN TRASH CANS

That's a great question! Our standard empty outdoor trash cans typically weigh between 10 and 25 pounds, depending on the specific model and capacity you choose. The weight varies because we use different materials - our heavy-duty plastic models are on the lighter end around 10-15 pounds when empty, while our commercial-grade metal or reinforced resin models can be closer to 20-25 pounds. We've specifically designed them to be lightweight enough for easy moving and cleaning, yet substantial enough to stay put during windy weather. The weight when empty is actually something we've carefully considered - too heavy and it becomes difficult to handle, too light and it might tip over easily. Most of our residential 32-gallon plastic cans weigh about 12 pounds empty, while our larger 64-gallon wheeled models are around 18 pounds. This balance makes them manageable for most people to move around while still being durable enough to withstand outdoor conditions season after season.
