What's the choice of materials for pretty trash cans?

The online market is riddled with trash bins that aren’t just capable of meeting your home’s conditions, but they also enhance your living space’s aesthetic-wise. Some of the materials pretty trash receptacles are made of include metal, fiberglass, concrete, plastic.

A metal trash bin is a great option for outdoor use as it prevents vandalism. Galvanized steel, more specifically, come with a hard thermoplastic coating that deters graffiti, an ability to resist fire, and protect trash in a moist area.

Your other options include fiberglass, concrete, and plastic. However, painted metal is your best option if you are after a decorative look.

For the kitchen as well as your living room, go for something rustic and “woodsy.” For something sleek and modern that’s great for a bathroom, fiberglass and aluminum will definitely do the trick.

If your furnishings are mostly in black, then go with plastic or steel, depending on the level of durability your home needs. Match your existing décor to your new trash bin to achieve a cohesive look.

Where to place pretty trash cans at home?

By now, you already know that trash bins are necessary for making sure your home is litter-free. To boost the cleanliness within your living spaces, make sure you determine the proper placements of your pretty trash bins. Otherwise, your decorative trash bins will go unused and create a litter problem.

To strategize the placement of your receptacles, map out your home and find the areas where trash is frequently created in the living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. If you require to do a bit of searching for a trash bin, then that’s how you know the receptacle is too hidden.

If you still haven’t determined the proper locations, observe the natural flow of activity and traffic in your home. Also, keep a close eye on what your entire household is doing. By observing the habits and tendencies of your family members, you get a full understanding as to where trash accumulates. You'll also find the best way for you to make your family more comfortable.

What are the available trash emptying options?

Through the Top - Most pretty trash bins empty through their topmost parts. If you utilize this type of emptying option with one bin, it is best to stay consistent and purchase bins with this style to avoid confusion.
Side Access Door - This option allows you to empty the bins from their sides. They have doors that slide, pull out or open like French doors. They're easier and faster to work with, but they have a downside: they are more susceptible to damage as they have more moving parts.

What trash can capacity do you need?

If your pretty trash bin's capacity is not enough, it'll quickly overflow and you'd have to empty it out more frequently. Having a capacity that's too large is also not ideal as trash will start to smell before it gets collected. A small capacity indoor decorative bin is great for hallways, restrooms, living rooms, and other low traffic areas.
