Did you know 68% of public parks replace trash containers within 2 years due to weather damage? (Green Space Report 2025). Outdoor large trash cans face unique challenges – from raccoon raids to UV degradation. When we installed standard bins at a Seattle community center, 3 collapsed under snow loads within months. That’s when durable solutions became non-negotiable.
