That's an excellent question, and a very important consideration for public spaces, commercial areas, or any location prone to high winds or vandalism. Yes, we absolutely provide the necessary hardware for securely bolting our heavy-duty urban trash cans to a concrete base.
For a permanent installation, we recommend our dedicated Anchor Hardware Kit. This kit typically includes high-grade, corrosion-resistant expansion bolts (also known as wedge anchors or sleeve anchors), matching washers, and sometimes a specialized wrench. The number and size of the bolts depend on the specific trash can model and its base plate design.
The process is straightforward. You would position the empty trash can on the prepared concrete pad, mark the holes from the base plate onto the concrete, then drill the appropriate sized holes. After clearing the dust, you insert the bolts through the can's base and into the concrete holes, tightening them down to create a very secure, immovable hold. This method prevents theft, tipping, and unauthorized movement, ensuring your bin stays exactly where it's needed.
If your can didn't come with pre-drilled mounting points, our customer service team can advise on the best drilling pattern and hardware specifications. For a truly professional finish and to protect the bolt heads, some clients choose a secondary concrete pour or use a security cap.
Feel free to contact us with your specific trash can model number, and we can confirm the exact hardware kit you'll need for a successful, long-lasting installation.
