Will I need to assemble my trash receptacle?

No. All of our trash can receptacles come assembled for your convenience. The only assembly required for any of the receptacles is when you need to mount your receptacle in the ground or on the surface of your property.

Commercial Trash Cans

Why thermoplastic coating?

Copolymer-based thermoplastic powder coating is environmentally safe. Thermoplastic has the best adhesion rate of any other process. This keeps the trash receptacle's metal base free of any corrosion possibilities. The coating will not fade, crack, peel, warp or discolor for the life of the product. Thermoplastic is applied at a thickness of 25-30 mils. allowing maximum protection with the best possible trash cans commercial surface. The properties of thermoplastic make spray painting difficult for vandals. Simply wash product with a standard industrial cleaner. Thermoplastic can be easily repaired. Cuts are repaired by heating the affected area with an industrial heat gun. The thermoplastic will melt and rebind itself.

How should I maintain and clean my trash receptacle?

Regularly check that all nuts and bolts are secure and inspect all hardware and fasteners. Periodically examine for any signs of vandalism on any of your thermoplastic surfaces. If the thermoplastic surface has any cuts simply use an industrial heat gun on the affected area. For regular cleaning, use soap and water. If any thermoplastic surface is vandalized by spray paint, simple take a rag and a aerosol can of WD40 and wipe the spray paint off.
