What are the industry standards or certifications required for these trash cans in public spaces?
Public trash cans must meet specific industry standards and certifications to ensure safety, durability, and accessibility. Key requirements include compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which mandates proper height and placement for wheelchair users. Additionally, ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standards often apply, particularly for commercial-grade waste bins regarding material strength and fire resistance. Many municipalities also require certifications for weather resistance, vandal-proof design, and ease of maintenance. For high-traffic areas, bins may need to meet local health and sanitation regulations, including proper lid designs to prevent littering. Recycling stations often follow separate guidelines, such as color-coding per the EPA’s recommendations. Always check regional regulations, as standards can vary by location.
