Litter isn’t just an eyesore—it’s costly, harms the environment, and erodes civic pride. However, mounting evidence shows that strategically placed trash receptacles, especially high-quality ones, can reduce visible litter by over 50% in many urban, campus, park, and corridor settings. 📊 What the Research Shows Multiple highway studies (Finnie, Heberlein, Zane & Lee) found that increasing trash bin availability reduced litter by up to 56% in previously cleaner areas—and by ~35% even in dirtier zones. A Philadelphia behavioral experiment across parks and commercial corridors showed that reducing receptacles increased litter and staff cleanup hours, while increasing them decreased litter; the quantitative effect on litter index was significant. Beach studies confirm that placement (e.g. front vs. back, high-traffic walking routes) and number of bins directly affect litter rates. Disney found optimal bin spacing—about every 25–30 paces—reduces littering through convenience. 🚀 Why Proper Placement Works So Well Convenience matters: the closer a bin, the less effort required, so people dispose properly.

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...
