Many businesses focus on having the right signs and paint colors; while those are important, so is having trash and ash receptacles. They can easily be placed in prominent places where they complement the exterior aesthetic while remaining easily accessible to employees and visitors. National Outdoor Furniture, Inc. carries individual trash and ash receptacles and dual-purpose trash ash bins that can significantly benefit your business.
Combination dual-purpose trash ash bins free up outdoor space since the area doesn't have to accommodate two separate receptacles. This is particularly beneficial for commercial properties with limited available outdoor space.
Even trash and ash receptacles in a partially enclosed area, such as in a covered walkway, are exposed to the elements. It’s essential to choose weather-resistant options that can withstand long-term exposure to the elements while maintaining their look and functionality.
Ash receptacles have specific design features, such as being made of steel, that allow for safe, effective cigarette disposal. Certain models also contain sand or water. The tube-like structure of fireproof outdoor ash receptacles deprives cigarettes of oxygen, preventing them from reigniting and potentially causing a fire.
Low-traffic areas may require only one trash and ash receptacle, whereas high-traffic areas could benefit from multiple bins. Think about the number of people who typically walk through the area to determine how many receptacles you’ll need.
Also consider the size of the receptacle. The larger the size, the more garbage and cigarette butts they can discreetly hold before requiring emptying.
Effective placement can encourage proper use of the trash and ash receptacles while preventing them from becoming tripping hazards. Consider placing trash receptacles and commercial ash urns several feet from an entrance, in designated smoking areas and beside benches.
Cleanliness is one important aspect that makes a business appealing to visitors. People may shy away from entering establishments where one of the first things they spot is an overflowing garbage can, especially in front of restaurants.
Once or twice a week can suffice for cleaning out a trash and ash receptacle in a low-traffic area. In high-traffic areas, aim to empty these receptacles four or more times per week. Every time you clean out the receptacle, look it over to ensure it's structurally sound, with no cracks or other damage.
Whether you want neutral tones or bold and vibrant hues, trash and ash receptacles can complement your aesthetic. The containers can easily blend into the exterior environment rather than look out of place. Contact National Outdoor Furniture, Inc. for ideal customization options for your business.
