Of course! It's a great question, and you're definitely on the right track. Combo units are one of the most effective ways to encourage recycling in outdoor spaces. By having separate bins for trash and recyclables right next to each other, you make it incredibly easy for people to do the right thing.
We absolutely have combo units designed specifically for this purpose. These aren't just two separate bins placed side-by-side; they are integrated into a single, sturdy unit. This creates a dedicated "recycling station" that is visually clear and user-friendly.
Typically, these combo units feature two or three distinct openings, each with clear, color-coded labeling and universal icons. You'll commonly find one side for "Landfill Waste" and the other for "Recyclables" like plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and paper. Many models also include a third slot for compostable materials, offering a complete waste management solution.
What to look for in a good outdoor combo recycling bin:
* Durability: Made from heavy-duty, weather-resistant materials like galvanized steel or commercial-grade plastic to withstand the elements and public use.
* Clear Signage: High-quality graphics that are easy to understand at a glance, promoting proper sorting.
* Capacity: Available in various sizes to suit different traffic levels, from a small park path to a bustling city square.
* Secure Design: Features like locking lids to prevent animals from scattering trash and secure inner liners for easy collection by maintenance crews.
These units are perfect for parks, college campuses, office building exteriors, shopping centers, and public walkways. By investing in a combo recycling trash can, you're not just managing waste—you're actively promoting environmental responsibility and keeping your community clean.
