URBAN TRASH CANS

Figuring out the perfect trash bin size for your park isn't as hard as it seems. It mostly comes down to a few practical factors you can easily assess. First, consider your park's size and how many people visit daily. A small neighborhood pocket park won't need the same capacity as a large, popular downtown green space. Next, think about collection frequency. If trash pickup is only twice a week, you'll need larger bins or more of them to prevent overflow between collections. A good rule of thumb is to observe your current bins. Are they constantly overflowing? That's a clear sign you need more capacity. Also, consider the types of waste. Parks with picnic areas or food vendors generate more volume than passive sitting areas. A mix of sizes often works best—smaller bins along pathways and larger, heavy-duty ones near high-traffic spots like playgrounds or entrances. Start by auditing your park's needs, and don't hesitate to consult with your waste service provider for their recommendations based on local experience.
