What are the commonly used materials for sanitation trash cans?

Mar 25, 2024

The sanitation garbage bin is a product used in many industries for cleaning and sanitation. Its function is to bring cleanliness, hygiene, and environmental protection to cities, communities, and various public places. Environmental sanitation trash cans are ubiquitous environmentally friendly products in real life. There are also many materials for environmental sanitation trash cans. Today, we will focus on the most commonly used materials for trash cans, such as foot operated trash cans, stainless steel trash cans, environmental sanitation trash cans, street trash cans, community classified trash cans, scenic area trash cans, park classified trash cans, people's park trash cans, ecological park foot operated trash cans, foot operated trash cans, municipal foot operated trash cans, etc.
1, Stainless steel garbage bin
Due to the tough and wear-resistant nature of steel, environmental sanitation trash cans, stainless steel trash cans, and fiberglass trash cans made mainly of steel are often the best choices for outdoor trash cans. The steel used in stainless steel trash cans is mostly 201 stainless steel. 201 stainless steel material has the characteristics of acid and alkali resistance, high density, polishing without bubbles, and no pinholes. Garbage bins made of 201 stainless steel are more corrosion-resistant, compressive, and high-temperature resistant.
Advantages: Good corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and other properties. The garbage bins produced from this material can be used both indoors and outdoors, making cleaning very convenient.
Disadvantages: Easy to scratch, improper handling of solder joints can easily rust.

2, Galvanized sheet garbage bin
Galvanized sheet is also one of the important materials for garbage bins and fruit shell boxes. Galvanized sheet refers to a steel plate that is coated with a layer of metallic zinc on the surface to prevent corrosion. Galvanizing is an economical and effective anti-corrosion method, which is used in about half of the world's zinc production. The biggest advantage of coated steel plates is their excellent corrosion resistance, paint resistance, decorative properties, and formability. Countries around the world are studying how to improve coating processes to enhance coating quality, including corrosion resistance, resistance to powdering and peeling, coating properties, and weldability. The inner liner of the sanitation garbage bin is mostly made of galvanized sheet, which has good anti-corrosion and corrosion resistance. There are also sanitation garbage bins with outer shells made of galvanized sheet.
Advantages: It has better corrosion resistance than ordinary steel plates.
Disadvantage: The garbage bins produced from galvanized steel plates are prone to producing pitting, which affects their appearance.

3, Wooden outdoor garbage bin
There are several types of wooden outdoor trash cans, including pure wood, wooden strips, steel wood, anti-corrosion wood, etc. The advantage of wooden outdoor trash cans is their good texture and easy coordination with the environment.
Advantages: Beautiful appearance, good anti-corrosion properties, and garbage bins made of anti-corrosion wood materials are commonly used in parks or scenic areas.
Disadvantages: inconvenient cleaning, easy to grow moss.
Selecting materials through the use of trash cans:
1. Streets generally use materials such as cold-rolled steel plate, stainless steel, galvanized steel plate, galvanized iron sheet, and plastic wood.
2. The community is determined according to the actual situation, while general residential areas use plastic materials to collect garbage.
3. Scenic areas, parks, and other places often use garbage bins made of anti-corrosion wood.

The above materials are commonly used sanitation trash cans. It is everyone's responsibility to protect the environment. We hope that everyone can make reasonable use of sanitation trash cans and let them fully utilize their strengths.

 

The difference between galvanized trash cans and stainless steel.

1, Different materials
The galvanized sheet garbage bin is made of iron material after hot-dip galvanizing, and its surface will have a zinc layer. This type of garbage bin is mainly made of metal, so it is relatively heavy, but also more sturdy and durable. The stainless steel trash can is made of high-quality stainless steel material, which is relatively lightweight and more aesthetically pleasing.
2, Different anti-corrosion performance
The anti-corrosion performance of galvanized sheet trash cans is relatively good. Due to the effective prevention of rust on the surface of the galvanized zinc layer, the trash cans can be used in relatively humid environments. But over time, the zinc layer will gradually fade, making it prone to problems such as dirt. The stainless steel trash can, due to its use of high-quality stainless steel materials, has excellent corrosion resistance and is relatively more durable, making it less prone to rusting.
3, Different levels of aesthetics
Stainless steel trash cans are elegant and beautiful, generally suitable for high-end places such as office buildings, hotels, etc. Their appearance design is more in line with people's aesthetic needs. The galvanized sheet garbage bin has a relatively simple appearance, mainly focused on practicality, and is suitable for places that do not require high-end feel.
4, Different prices
Relatively speaking, the price of galvanized sheet trash cans is relatively low, which can meet the usage needs of most people. The price of stainless steel trash cans is relatively high, and they are generally only used in places with a certain budget, such as high-end office buildings, hotels, etc.
5, Different service life
Due to the use of high-quality materials in stainless steel trash cans, their service life is relatively longer and can last for several years. The service life of galvanized sheet trash cans is relatively short, and they usually need to be replaced after one or two years of use.
Overall, both types of garbage bins have their own characteristics, and the choice of which type of garbage bin to use depends on specific usage needs and the situation of the location. If pursuing durability and anti-corrosion performance, it is recommended to choose galvanized sheet trash cans; If you need a sense of luxury and aesthetics, and a longer service life, it is recommended to choose a stainless steel trash can.

The advantages and disadvantages of garbage bins made of different materials are reflected in these areas

 

How should we choose the right garbage bin for materials such as stainless steel, galvanized iron sheet, galvanized sheet, cold-rolled steel plate, fiberglass, PP plastic, anti-corrosion wood, etc? Before or when you buy a trash can, I believe you are also thinking about this issue. Based on our production experience, we will tell you how to choose trash cans with different materials.
Before purchasing products, it is important to have a correct understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of these materials:
1. Stainless steel material:
Advantages: Rust proof, corrosion resistant, high temperature resistant, sturdy and durable. The garbage bins produced from this material can be used indoors, outdoors, and outdoors, and are easy to clean and more environmentally friendly.
Disadvantages: Easy to scratch, improper handling of solder joints can easily rust.
2. Galvanized steel plate material:
Advantages: It has better corrosion resistance than ordinary steel plates.
Disadvantage: The garbage bins produced from galvanized steel plates are prone to producing pitting, which affects their appearance.
3. Galvanized iron sheet material:
Advantages: Galvanized iron sheet is coated with zinc on the surface of the iron sheet, which is not easy to rust and corrode. The garbage bin made of this material increases its corrosion resistance.
Disadvantage: Not suitable for environments with acid, alkali, and ammonia.
4. Cold rolled steel plate material:
Advantages: The surface is smooth, flat, and the thickness is uniform. The products produced from this material are beautiful, exquisite, and very practical.
Disadvantage: Poor mechanical performance, unable to produce trash cans with complex appearances.
5. Fiberglass material:
Advantages: Good anti-theft performance, strong rust and corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and not easy to fade.
Disadvantages: It is a toxic substance, with high labor costs and relatively higher prices.
6. PP plastic material:
