Why Powder‑Coated Steel Trash Cans Outlast Other Finishes

When it comes to durability, longevity, and value, powder‑coated steel trash cans outperform both untreated metal and traditional paint finishes. As a leading trash can manufacturer, Securr designs waste receptacles engineered to resist corrosion, withstand vandalism, and deliver decades of service.

Superior Corrosion Resistance

  • Galvannealed steel core + powder coat finish creates a protective barrier that prevents rust more effectively than paint, especially in harsh environments including salt spray, UV exposure, humidity, and chemical contact.

  • Powder coating is applied via electrostatic spray and cured under heat, forming a tough, uniform surface that resists chipping and peeling—unlike layers of paint that flake off over time.

Built to Resist Vandalism

  • The textured powder coat is much more abrasion-resistant than standard paint, limiting visible graffiti, scratches, and wear in high-traffic public spaces.

  • Combined with tamper-proof fasteners, stainless piano hinges, and secure locking hardware, Securr cans are built to deter theft and vandalism in demanding urban settings.

Maintenance That Pays Off

  • Powder-coated surfaces repel stains and grime, making them easy to clean and sanitize. Side-loading doors and rigid liners reduce labor time and cut injury risks.

  • With modular, replaceable panels and components, Securr receptacles rarely need full replacement—just the damaged part—keeping operational costs low over time.

Longevity and Return on Investment

  • Generic painted or untreated bins may last only 2–4 years outdoors. In contrast, Securr's powder‑coated steel trash cans can last 10–15 years or more with minimal upkeep.

  • While upfront cost is higher, environmental and maintenance savings provide better total cost of ownership and stronger ROI in the long run.
