Garbage classification has become a hot topic under the strict environmental protection inspections. Protecting the environment is something every citizen should do, and the country attaches great importance to it, resulting in an increasing variety of trash bins. So, how many types of trash bins are there? Next, Meigongmao will introduce the main categories of trash bins based on their processing materials.

According to processing materials, trash bins can be divided into the following nine categories:

1. Ceramic

Ceramic has become synonymous with high-end products. Ceramic sanitary ware is easy to clean and has a high surface gloss, giving a sense of high quality.

2. Plastic

Simple to process, easy to clean, suitable for indoor use. For outdoor use, the material must be resistant to aging.

3. Stainless Steel

It will not be corroded by rain when used outdoors, but there is a risk of being stolen.

4. Metal

Metal trash bins are generally made of steel, which is highly durable and recyclable. The downside of steel is that it rusts easily, so it is usually degreased and derusted before being painted to enhance its rust resistance for outdoor use.

5. Pulp

Such trash bins were used in the venues of the 2008 Beijing Olympics in China, labeled with "Ceramic", "Plastic", "Non-recyclable" and printed with "Good Luck Beijing". This renewable paper is very sturdy and environmentally friendly. There were about 140 such bins in the venues.

6. Cement

Its advantage is that it is fixed and cannot be stolen (many stainless steel bins in cities have been stolen).

7. Wood

Good texture and easy to coordinate with the environment.

8. Fiberglass

Fiberglass trash bins are generally made from fiberglass and imported resin coloring. They have high strength, corrosion resistance, acid and alkali resistance, aging resistance, do not deform under sun exposure, UV resistance, easy to clean, convenient to operate, large capacity, sturdy and durable with a long service life. These bins are not subject to theft or recycling.

9. Steel-Wood

Steel frame with wooden strips for decoration; sometimes plastic wood or eco-friendly wood is used instead of solid wood.

Trash Bin

Plastic trash bins have already taken up half of the market among these bins. Most daily life trash bins are plastic. We can see plastic trash bins everywhere in streets, alleys, and homes. The rapid development of plastic trash bins in the market is due to their own advantages.
