URBAN TRASH CANS

Hey there! It's a common question: can you get a black urban trash can without it turning into a mini oven under the sun? The short answer is yes, you definitely can, but there are some things to consider. Black surfaces absorb more heat from sunlight, which might make the trash can warm to the touch on a hot day. However, most modern black trash cans are made from durable plastics like polyethylene that are designed to handle temperature changes without warping or degrading quickly. If you're placing it in a spot with direct, intense sun all day, it could get pretty hot—potentially making it uncomfortable to handle or even accelerating wear over time. To mitigate this, look for models labeled as UV-resistant or heat-tolerant, and consider placing it in a shaded area if possible. In urban settings, black trash cans are popular for their sleek look and ability to hide stains, so with a little care, they're a practical choice. Just keep an eye on it during heatwaves, and you should be fine!
