That's an excellent and very specific question! Yes, absolutely. We do offer and specialize in outdoor trash bins that come equipped with a dedicated sandbox or ash deposit compartment specifically for cigarette butt disposal.
These units are designed to address the common issues of littering and fire safety associated with outdoor smoking. The integrated sandbox serves multiple purposes: it extinguishes cigarettes safely through smothering, contains the smell, and prevents loose butts from blowing away. You'll typically find these combo bins in strategic locations like hotel entrances, office building patios, restaurant outdoor seating areas, parks, and near hospital or airport designated smoking zones.
The most common designs feature a sturdy, often metal, construction with a cylindrical or box-like sand container mounted on the top or side of a standard litter bin. The sand compartment usually has a small opening or a series of slots for butt insertion. For maintenance, the sandbox unit is easily removable for cleaning and sand replacement. When considering one, look for features like weather-resistant materials, secure mounting options, and a sufficient sand capacity to reduce frequent servicing.
So, if you're managing a property or public space and need a tidy, responsible solution for cigarette waste, these combination ash and trash receptacles are definitely the way to go. Let me know if you need details on specific models or placement recommendations
