Frequently Asked Questions: Trash Cans

How do I determine what size trash can I need for my home?

Selecting the right size trash can for your home depends on factors such as the size of your household, the amount of waste you typically generate, where the trash can will be located, and how frequently you plan to empty it. A compact trash bin may suffice for smaller households or spaces, while larger families may opt for a larger trash can to accommodate more waste between emptying.

Consider the dimensions and capacity of the trash can to ensure it fits seamlessly into your space and meets your needs.

For commercial spaces, check out our office restroom supplies and cleaning carts to manage trash while storing essential commercial paper goods.

Can your trash cans be used both indoors and outdoors?

Our range of garbage bins is designed for versatility. We have trash bins for both indoor and outdoor use. Whether you need a garbage can for your kitchen, bathroom, office, or outdoor spaces like your patio or backyard, we have options for every environment.

The materials used in our outdoor trash cans are chosen for durability and weather resistance, making them suitable for various applications.

When shopping for outdoor trash cans, consider the specific needs of your outdoor space. For patios and backyards, you may prefer a trash can with a lid to keep the contents secure and prevent unwanted pests. You may prioritize features like ease of cleaning and aesthetics for indoor applications.

Do you offer odor-resistant garbage cans?

Many of our trash cans have features designed to combat unpleasant odors. Odor-resistant trash cans often feature lids with an odor seal that keeps smells securely locked inside the can. Some models are designed with ventilation features that help release odors when there’s no bag inside, preventing the buildup of unpleasant smells.

Explore our selection to find the ideal odor-resistant garbage can that suits your preferences and keeps your space smelling fresh.

How can I clean and maintain my trash can?

Cleaning and maintaining your trash can ensure a hygienic and odor-free environment. Begin by emptying the trash can and removing any remaining debris. You can rinse the can with a hose or use a mixture of mild soap and water to clean the interior and exterior surfaces.

For stubborn stains or odors, a solution of baking soda, water, or vinegar can be effective. Be sure to dry the trash can thoroughly before placing a new trash bag.

Regular maintenance includes checking for any signs of wear or damage, such as cracks or loose lids. Replace any damaged components immediately to prevent issues with your trash can. Additionally, consider using trash bags that fit your can properly to minimize the risk of leaks and make emptying the trash easier.
