URBAN TRASH CANS

That's an excellent question about a key feature of our bins. Our secure outdoor trash bins utilize a multi-point locking system designed for durability and prevention of unauthorized access. The primary mechanism is a robust, weather-resistant steel hasp integrated into the bin's lid and body. This hasp is designed to accommodate a standard padlock (not typically included), allowing you or your facility manager to maintain key control. When engaged, the lock secures the lid firmly to the main container, creating a continuous steel barrier that prevents animals like raccoons, bears, or stray dogs from prying it open. The lid itself also features internal reinforcing ribs and, on some models, a secondary friction latch for an extra layer of security when the main lock isn't engaged. This design not only deters pests but also helps contain odors and litter, ensuring your outdoor space remains clean and compliant with local wildlife or waste management ordinances. It’s a simple yet highly effective system built for peace of mind.
