In the city's streets and alleys, parks, scenic spots, campus squares and other outdoor public areas, outdoor trash cans are an important facility to maintain a clean environment.
1. Classification
Categorized by material
Plastic trash can: light weight, low cost, good corrosion resistance and weather resistance, rich color, easy to process and form, most common in daily life. However, the strength is relatively low, and it is easy to be damaged by external impacts.
Metal trash cans: mainly made of stainless steel and galvanized steel. Stainless steel trash cans are beautiful and durable, with strong anti-rust performance, and are often used in high-end places; The price of galvanized steel trash cans is relatively low, and it also has good anti-rust ability after special treatment, which is widely used in all kinds of streets and communities.
Wooden trash can: the appearance is natural and simple, which can be well integrated with the natural environment such as parks and scenic spots, adding a humanistic atmosphere. However, wood is susceptible to rainwater erosion, perishable, requires regular maintenance, and has a relatively short service life.
Categorized by function
Ordinary garbage can: It has the basic garbage collection function, simple structure, and is suitable for areas with small garbage generation and low functional requirements.
Classified garbage cans: In accordance with the garbage classification standards, a number of different inlets are set up, and they are equipped with obvious signs to guide people to classify different types of garbage, which helps to improve the recycling rate of garbage, which is the type that is currently vigorously promoted.
Smart trash can: Integrating advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things and sensors, it can realize functions such as automatic induction lid opening, overflow monitoring, and intelligent deodorization. Through the connection with the Internet, the garbage information can also be transmitted to the management department in real time, which is convenient for timely removal and management, and improves the intelligent level of urban sanitation management.
2. The main points of design
Capacity design: It needs to be reasonably determined according to the flow of people in the place of use, the amount of garbage generated and other factors. For example, in densely populated commercial centers or scenic spots, large-capacity garbage cans should be equipped to reduce the frequency of cleaning; In alleys or residential areas with relatively little foot traffic, you can choose a garbage bin with a moderate capacity.
Open design: Common types are open-mouth, clamshell, foot-operated and sensor-inductive. The open type is convenient, but it is easy to emit odors and breed mosquitoes; The clamshell type can block odors to a certain extent, but it is not very convenient to use; The foot-operated type controls the opening of the lid through the foot pedal, which does not need to be touched by hand, which is more hygienic.
Sealing design: Good sealing can prevent garbage leakage and odor emission, and keep the surrounding environment clean. Generally, it is achieved by setting a sealing strip between the barrel cover and the barrel body.
Exterior design: To be in harmony with the surrounding environment, the shape and color should be in line with the local cultural characteristics and aesthetic needs. For example, in historical districts, retro-style trash cans can be used; In a modern science and technology park, you can choose a simple and stylish design.
