Meeting Local Waste Ordinances: What Your Trash Can Design Needs to Comply With

When cities pass new waste management ordinances, trash can manufacturers like Securr take the lead in helping municipalities and businesses meet compliance standards. From recycling separation rules to accessibility requirements, the design of your trash receptacle can directly affect compliance with local waste disposal laws.

Why Compliance Matters in Trash Can Design

City and county waste ordinances often dictate everything from bin size and color coding to accessibility and labeling standards. Non-compliance can lead to fines, collection delays, or public safety issues.

As a leading trash can manufacturer, Securr designs and builds containers that meet or exceed municipal standards across the United States. Their focus on durability, safety, and ease of use ensures cities, parks, airports, and businesses maintain clean, compliant environments.

Design Features That Support Local Ordinances

1. Proper Waste Separation

Many cities now require separate containers for trash, recycling, and compost. Securr offers modular waste systems that make it easy to add or remove sections to meet evolving city mandates.

2. Secure and Animal-Resistant Designs

Compliance often includes wildlife and safety standards. Securr’s heavy-duty enclosures prevent tampering, reduce litter, and protect against pests.

3. ADA Accessibility

All Securr trash can enclosures are designed to meet ADA height and reach standards, ensuring inclusivity and compliance with federal accessibility regulations.

4. Labeling and Color Coding

Securr offers customizable decals, stenciling, and powder-coated finishes in compliance with local recycling color codes, making sorting simple and intuitive for the public.
