URBAN TRASH CANS

Dealing with sticky gum on urban trash bins is a common nuisance, but it can be resolved with simple household items. First, harden the gum by applying an ice cube in a plastic bag directly onto the residue for 5-10 minutes. Once solidified, gently scrape it off using a blunt tool like a butter knife or an old credit card. For any remaining adhesive, dab a cloth in white vinegar, rubbing alcohol, or cooking oil to dissolve the sticky traces. Rub in circular motions until the surface is clean, then wipe with soapy water. Regular maintenance with these non-toxic methods helps keep public bins hygienic and visually appealing without damaging the surface. Always wear gloves during cleaning for hygiene and safety.
