Understanding Recycling Contamination – And How Good Bin Design Helps

At Securr, we don’t just manufacture trash cans — we engineer smarter waste solutions that help communities and organizations achieve real sustainability. One issue we see over and over again is recycling contamination — and we know that a well-designed recycling bin can make all the difference in solving it. What Is Recycling Contamination?

ADA Compliance and Waste Receptacles: What You Need to Know

At Securr, we pride ourselves on being more than just a leading trash can manufacturer — we’re your partner in designing waste receptacles that are functional, attractive, durable, and most importantly, ADA compliant. Whether you manage a city park, a transit station, a hospital campus, or a commercial facility, understanding ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance is essential. Here's what you need to know when choosing waste receptacles that meet ADA guidelines — and how Securr can help. What Does ADA Compliance Mean for Trash Receptacles?

The Rise of Multi-Stream Waste Stations: A Design Guide

As one of the nation’s leading trash can manufacturers, we at Securr have seen firsthand how public spaces are evolving to meet growing sustainability goals. One of the biggest shifts? The rise of multi-stream waste stations. From parks to airports to campuses, these smart, segmented units are changing the way communities handle waste—making it easier to divert recyclables, compostables, and landfill items with style and efficiency. What Are Multi-Stream Waste Stations? Multi-stream waste stations are disposal units that separate waste into multiple categories—typically trash, recycling, and compost. This simple design shift has a major impact. It improves diversion rates, reduces contamination, and makes sustainable waste practices second nature for the public. As a custom trash can manufacturer, Securr specializes in designing and building durable, aesthetically pleasing waste receptacles that meet the needs of modern facilities. Whether you’re managing a city park or a corporate campus, integrating multi-stream units can dramatically improve both environmental impact and user experience. Why Multi-Stream Waste...
