Metal or plastic trash cans for the bathroom? Which one to choose?

Modern trash cans are one of the most important elements of toilet equipment in public places. Thanks to them, the interior becomes much more comfortable and functional. A bathroom trash can also has a significant impact on the aesthetics of the room. Even the most carefully designed arrangement will not look good if it is accompanied by used hygiene products spilling out of a poorly chosen trash can.

Simple solutions, solid construction, and a wide range of capacities make our trash cans a popular choice. They have been designed to be both aesthetic and functional. Among them, there are also proposals that are exceptionally hygienic thanks to touchless opening and high tightness, which prevents unpleasant odors from escaping.

Thanks to the variety of available options, waste bins from the Faneco offer are an excellent choice for both public utility facilities and small and large companies. Metal and plastic containers work very well as tanks for common bathroom waste such as used paper towels, tissues, etc. Our customers can choose from models with capacities of: 3 l, 5 l, 7 l, 12 l, 20 l, 23 l, 30 l, 40 l, 50 l, 60 l, 90 l and 120 l; we also offer sorting bins in 3x30 l and 3x80 l variants.

How to choose the right toilet waste bin?

Bathroom waste bins in public utility facilities, like other equipment, must meet certain requirements. One of the most important is durability - they must withstand really intensive use.

The durability of a waste bin depends primarily on the quality of workmanship and the materials used for this purpose. Therefore, cheap plastic bathroom bins intended for home use will not work in public toilets - they are made of more delicate materials.

Among the proposals from Faneco, there are plastic bathroom bins designed for public toilets, distinguished by their resistance to damage, such as ABS. Its high quality gives the bin an elegant appearance. In addition, it is easy to maintain cleanliness; it also does not absorb dirt or odors. Bins made of strong materials are a good choice for bathrooms with moderate traffic.

On the other hand, in toilets used by many people every day, metal bins made of stainless steel will work much better. Their main advantages include high mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion. Steel products are resistant to moisture, alcohol, and most acids. As a result, they do not require any special care; they can also be disinfected.

When choosing a waste container, attention should also be paid to its appearance. It is good if it is matched to other equipment and the style in which the interior is maintained.

Elegant Faneco bathroom baskets are available in various colors (white, silver, and black). They look great in modern bathrooms; some types of finishes are also very practical. We are talking here mainly about matte steel and black painted. Dirt, fingerprints, or water droplets are barely visible on these surfaces. This makes them perfect for high-traffic areas where equipment naturally gets dirty faster.

Size of the bathroom trash can

The size of the bathroom trash can should be adjusted to the size of the room. At the same time, it should not be too big; the type of waste thrown into it means that it should be emptied as often as possible.

Smaller baskets are also more practical. A large waste container in small spaces not only looks bad, but also takes up too much space. This makes it best to choose baskets with a capacity of 3-5 liters for toilet cabins.

However, there is an exception - a cabin or room where you can change a baby. Diapers have a relatively large volume; a few-liter container would fill up faster than employees could empty it. Therefore, it is better to place larger baskets near changing tables.

Environmental protection and the choice of a trash can for toilets - choose sorting baskets

Waste segregation has long been not only a good habit, but also a legal requirement. In addition, after fulfilling it, we will pay less for garbage collection. For this reason alone, it is worth investing in dedicated bins for use in public buildings.

The segregation sets available at Faneco consist of three separate containers for plastic, paper, and glass. Each container is marked with large colorful inscriptions. When assembling trash cans and labels on your own, do not forget about the meaning of each color:

• green - glass,

• blue - paper and cardboard,

• yellow - plastic.

Wet waste and waste that does not fit into any of these categories should be thrown into a separate container. Our range also includes plastic and metal municipal waste bins, as well as containers for sanitary waste and special bins for paper towels.

Durability of metal bathroom waste bins

Our bathroom trash cans made of polished or matte stainless steel are the most popular among our customers. By creating them, we combined the properties of high-quality metal with a carefully designed project. As a result, the finished products available in our offer are highly resistant to mechanical damage - both scratches and dents. This makes them an excellent choice for places with high traffic. They are also the best option for public bathrooms, where the equipment is exposed to acts of vandalism. Even in such conditions, metal trash cans made of steel are able to fulfill their function for many years, while maintaining an excellent appearance.

Practical and functional bathroom trash cans

The advantage of bathroom trash cans available in our offer is not only their strong casing. Their very practical interior is also worth mentioning. Most models are equipped with internal containers made of ABS. To make emptying them even easier and more convenient, they have special frames for securing bags. They can also be carried using special handles. The reinforced bottom protects the container from damage even when it is heavily filled with heavy waste.

Among the Faneco baskets there are models that close automatically (with a pedal) and manually (with a tilting lid, a TIP type tilting lid, or a bottom flap with a key).

A wide range of applications for bathroom baskets in public toilets

The Faneco bathroom baskets are extremely practical, making them very versatile. The elegant, modern design goes hand in hand with high-quality materials and a solid construction. We have taken care of every detail to ensure that our trash cans work perfectly in toilets in various public facilities with high traffic:

It is also worth noting that our proposed trash cans can be successfully used not only in toilets. They can be used in various public spaces - for example, in waiting rooms, lobbies, receptions, and many other places.
