Nobody likes to see waste lying around on the ground, but when people don't have a clear place to put their garbage, that is often what happens. When candy wrappers and tissues are left scattered around a picnic or playground area, the whole space looks messy. Having an appropriate place to dispose of waste close by encourages kids to be green at school, so you are not left with a messy space and you don't have to give an additional task to your busy maintenance or cleaning staff.

Why do I need garbage cans outside?

When you provide outdoor trash cans, you demonstrate the value of being clean and eco-friendly, while maintaining the aesthetic appearance of your building and its surroundings. Most people are happy to throw away their own garbage, but they won't want to carry it around, searching for an appropriate place to dispose of it, especially if they are cleaning up messy items. With the appropriate commercial trash cans within easy reach, your outdoor areas are more likely to stay clean for longer periods of time.

What is the best place for trash cans outside?

The optimal locations for outdoor garbage cans are near the spaces where people are most likely to be eating. It is important to place them in a space that is close enough to be reached easily, and prominent enough to be noticed, but far enough away that unpleasant smells won't bother them. The ideal placement will probably be a few feet away from areas where people are sitting, out of the way of any play equipment or footpaths.

To encourage an eco-friendly approach to waste disposal, it is a great idea to put recycling bins right next to trash cans. This way, people won't have to go out of their way to dispose of materials in an environmentally-friendly fashion. In the educational environment, the presence of proper waste disposal will demonstrate your institution's concern for our planet, and will help keep kids committed to the environment.
