That's an excellent and very practical question! When considering our largest commercial outdoor trash can for installation, knowing its weight is crucial for logistics, placement, and ensuring the base can support it.
Our highest-capacity model, the HD-150 Heavy-Duty Commercial Bin, has an empty weight of approximately 98 pounds (44.5 kilograms). This substantial weight is a direct result of its robust construction designed to withstand demanding public environments.
Here’s a quick breakdown of why it weighs what it does and what it offers:
* Material: It's fabricated from premium-grade, reinforced stainless steel and structural aluminum, chosen for extreme durability and vandal resistance.
* Capacity: It holds a full 150 gallons (568 liters) of waste, which obviously adds significant weight when full.
* Design Features: The weight includes integrated components like a heavy-duty, locking lid mechanism, reinforced internal liners (if applicable), and anchor points for permanent securing.
This unit is ideally suited for high-traffic areas like large public parks, stadium perimeters, festival grounds, and transportation hubs where daily waste volume is high and durability is non-negotiable. We always recommend professional handling and installation due to its size and weight.
