With models available for indoor and outdoor use, we are certain one of our products will suit the needs of your business or organization. The Securr Difference When it comes to medical waste disposal containers, Securr strives to offer those features that make our products stand out against the rest. Not only are all Securr medical waste containers made from corrosion-resistant, galvannealed, heavy-duty steel, but they feature a “chute”-type loading door that ensures all contents are secure and cannot be removed unless the service door is unlocked. Offering the same corrosion inhibiting properties as hot-dipped galvanized steel, galvannealed steel is a cold-rolled steel with a galvanized coating. This gives the steel the advantage of offering excellent adherence of powder coated finishes. Meanwhile, the loading chute is lined with stainless...

Keeping your city streets clean and litter-free is important for a variety of reasons. While aesthetic appeal is certainly one good reason for keeping your streets clean, there are actually several other good reasons that range from health concerns to keeping your city’s economy strong. Health and Safety Concerns Maintaining clean streets is an important part of keeping your city safe for residents and tourists. When trash is allowed to sit on your city streets, it becomes the perfect habitat for rats, mice, flies, pigeons and other pests. Not only are these pests a nuisance, but they often carry diseases that can be harmful or even lead to a city-wide epidemic. Allowing trash to accumulate on city streets is also a safety hazard. Roads filled with debris create a safety hazard for cars driving on them, while pedestrians are also at risk of getting cut by or tripping over debris. Similarly, food waste can grow mold or bacteria, thereby creating...

With the launch of our new Disneyland-Inspired Waste Receptacles, we thought it would be fun to dig deeper into Disney’s history with trash and how all of the waste that is generated each day at Disney parks is handled in a way to keep the magic alive. Creating the Right Look Even before he opened his first park, Walt Disney was concerned about the impact that garbage might have on the overall experience for his guests. With mesh receptacles being the common form of trash cans available at the time, Disney got to work designing a new form of receptacle that would be better at keeping the garbage out of sight while also reducing the risk of creating unpleasant smells. It is this design that inspired the newly created trash receptacles being offered by Securr. For Disney, creating a new receptacle wasn’t quite enough to help address his waste concerns. In fact, many people may not realize that park officials...

The Magic of Disney Reaches Waste Management Many people do not realize it, but Walt Disney is considered to be a bit of a pioneer when it comes to waste collection. As he planned to build the first theme park, he gave serious consideration to how the trash from his many park visitors would be properly collected. At the time, mesh cans were the norm, and Disney knew that this type of can would not be very effective in an...

With landfills quickly filling up and waste is an ongoing and growing problem, finding ways to reduce your waste output is essential. Fortunately, there are several initiatives that nearly anyone can take to help reduce the amount of waste they create. If you are interested in reducing your waste output, here are some ideas that you might want to consider.
