Choosing the right trash can means more than picking a style—it means matching bin capacity, durability, and service needs to real environments. From transit stops and campuses to large-scale events, the right Securr trash can makes waste management efficient and reliable.

Securr is a leading trash can manufacturer, specializing in American‑made, ADA‑compliant, powder‑coated steel receptacles built to last. Below, we break down the advantages of 36‑, 64‑, and 95‑gallon bins, each with verified product links for your review.

🗑️ What Does Gallon Capacity Mean in Trash Cans?

A bin’s gallon rating refers to its volume capacity:

• A 36‑gallon bin holds approximately one large trash bag.

• A 64‑gallon bin holds about two bags.

• A 95‑gallon bin accommodates bulky waste or multiple bags.

Choosing the right size impacts fill frequency, labor requirements, and overall usability.
