Trends in Trash Can Advertising

Outdoor advertising with trash cans and recycling bins

For many businesses these days, waste receptacles are much more than just containers to sort recyclables or dump trash. Thanks to what is now known as “out-of-home advertising,” trash cans and recycling bins have become a popular, low-cost way to promote your company.

Simply by adding a logo or other graphic design, trash cans and recycling bins can be a powerful marketing tool and can provide a business, factory, office or any other type of company with a more professional, polished appearance.

It’s an easy way to get your service or product in the public eye while also providing a valuable service to the community by helping to keep it clean and waste-free!

Choosing the right manufacturer

Refuse and recycling container manufacturers that specialize in advertising receptacles offer a wide array of attractive styles that are more durable and resistant to corrosion than ever before. They can print your company logo or another graphic design on practically any of their products according to your exact specifications. Advertising receptacles are also less expensive than you might think, especially when you consider the return that your company will get through more exposure.

Many of these companies are quite advanced these days. They can virtually meet any of your waste receptacle needs and can design containers to suit just about any type of environment. For instance, Securr, a major manufacturer of refuse and recycling containers, designs advertising receptacles by using customized laser cut panels, creating offsetting color schemes as well as a number of other special processes. They also have extensive in-house fabrication abilities and advanced computer modeling systems in order to design the receptacle of your choice. In addition, Securr fabricates a prototype for their customers to first approve before proceeding with an order.

Since advertising trash cans and recycling bins are specifically designed for outdoor use, you want to make sure to choose a manufacturer that uses high-quality materials and finishes. Not only does this ensure that your receptacle will, most likely, last for years, but it also presents your company in the most positive light possible.

Creating the optimum advertising trash can or recycling bin

When choosing a container, you want to make sure the dimensions of your logo or design is proportionate to the size of the receptacle. If it’s too small, people might not notice it. On the other hand, ads that are too large may be viewed as bothersome and could actually annoy your target audience.

Further, the container needs to be proportionate to the area it will be placed in. Also keep in mind that an advertising trash can or recycling bin is going to garner more attention but in a positive way, so you don’t want to detract from your message by a container that’s often overflowing with trash. Thus, before choosing the size, you should estimate how much waste you think will be going into it and how often it will be emptied.

So, if you’re looking for a fresh, new way to promote your business, advertising receptacles are a unique and appealing approach in sprucing up what used to be just boring, old trash cans and recycling bins!
