One of the most abundant site amenities for cities, Parks, Industrial buildings, Office buildings and more places where garbage can accumulate is commercial outdoor trash cans. Outdoor Trash Receptacles come in as many sizes types and styles as there are places to put them.
Corporate buildings like Wal-Mart, General Electric, AT&T, Ford, Toyota, Nissan, Boeing or Northrop Grumman will use concrete, steel, plastic, recycled plastic, wood or stone clad trash cans.

Industrial trash bins and garbage cans vary in size depending amount of refuse expected and the kind of receptacle used for the job. Many industrial facilities have eating areas and even restaurants where garbage is produced. These areas require trash cans that can collect garbage efficiently without spilling and contaminating clean areas.

Heavy duty steel, concrete or decorative plastic containers are used in common areas. Large trash cans reduce collection which saves money. Liners keep the receptacle clean and make empting easier. The liners are lighter inserts and usually are made of plastic. Galvanized steel is used for wet or heavy duty collection areas.

In industrial areas like the kitchen the aesthetics are not as important as the function. One welcome function for trash can lids is that they can be used to guide the trash into the can as in a public restroom. Some lids will have doors to keep insects from flying in and out.
Stadiums and arenas are also large areas that have disposal needs. The parking lot trash cans may even advertise and carry a logo for a team or just ad space. Throughout the facility there are garbage cans of all types for discarded paper, food and waste.
