When it comes to recycling, small details make a big difference. One of the most powerful yet overlooked factors is color. Color psychology directly affects how people interact with recycling bins, and choosing the right hues can dramatically increase participation rates. At Securr, a leading trash can manufacturer, we understand that effective recycling isn’t just about durability and functionality—it’s also about design. That’s why we offer custom color options tailored to different waste streams, making it easier for people to do the right thing every time. The Psychology of Color in Recycling Color influences human behavior on both a conscious and subconscious level. Research shows that people are more likely to recycle correctly when bins are clearly color-coded. For example: Blue is universally associated with recyclables like paper, plastic, and cans. Green often signals compostables or organic waste. Black or Gray is commonly tied to general trash. Yellow or Orange can be used for specialty streams such as glass or...

Donation programs thrive when the process is secure, simple, and efficient. That’s why Securr developed the Textile / Clothing Collection Bin with Geared Tray and Internal Rotating Baffle (CB26G16). Designed for reliability and user-friendliness, this bin is the ideal solution for organizations managing large-scale donation programs, community recycling efforts, and charitable clothing collections. Geared Tray and Rotating Baffle – A Smarter Donation Mechanism At the heart of the CB26G16 is its gear-driven tray paired with an internal rotating baffle. This system ensures every item donated moves smoothly into the bin while reducing jams, blockages, or donor frustration. The rotating baffle acts as an added safeguard, directing textiles securely into the collection chamber. The result is a seamless donation experience for the public and less downtime for operators. Heavy-Duty Durability for All Environments The CB26G16 is built to last. Constructed from 16-gauge galvannealed steel, it resists corrosion and stands up to years of outdoor exposure. Its textured powder-coat finish protects against...

When people think about recycling, they often focus on what goes inside the bin. But what if the bin itself could become a powerful tool for awareness, education, and community pride? As a leading trash can manufacturer, Securr has partnered with municipalities, schools, and organizations across the country to do just that—transforming everyday trash and recycling containers into branded statements of civic pride. Why Branding Matters for Local Recycling Programs Cities and organizations invest heavily in recycling initiatives, but one of the biggest challenges is encouraging consistent participation.
