In comparison to plastic containers, the advantages of metal waste containers are that they are easy to clean hygienically, and are fire-resistant and stronger. Due to the combination of material and design, the demand for metal waste containers is high and they blend in well in all environments.
Push-bins have self-closing lids, meaning that they starve a possible fire of oxygen. Many models are equipped with an inner bin and a rubber edge trim on the base to protect the floor.
Pedal bins avoid hand contact when disposing of refuse. The pedal bins shown below are available in highly polished or satin-finish stainless steel and in various colours.
