Arlau BS21 10-Gallon Perforated Trash Can: Compact and Durable Public Solution
Since 1999, Arlau has engineered practical outdoor furniture for public spaces. The BS21 perforated trash can offers a 10-gallon capacity with robust construction and flexible installation, ideal for areas where space is limited but durability is essential.
Built with Commercial-Grade Perforated Steel
This unit is constructed from 1.0-2.0mm thick perforated steel, providing exceptional strength while allowing airflow to reduce moisture and odor. The exterior features a durable thermoplastic or DuPont powder coating that resists corrosion, UV fading, and vandalism for long-term outdoor use.
Designed for Versatile and Secure Mounting
A key feature is its versatile installation. The can comes with pre-drilled holes for easy mounting to lamp posts, walls, or fences. An optional bracket is available, and it includes a ground anchor kit for permanent, secure placement, ensuring stability in all public settings.
Ideal for High-Traffic Compact Locations
This small outdoor trash can is perfect for optimizing space without sacrificing function. It is an excellent choice for mounting along park pathways, at bus stops, in downtown streetscapes, or outside school entrances, providing reliable waste containment exactly where needed.

1. What are the benefits of a perforated design for a trash can?
The perforations allow air to circulate through the can. This ventilation helps dry out waste moisture more quickly, which significantly reduces odors and prevents the buildup of condensation that can lead to corrosion and mold.
2. Is mounting hardware included with the trash can?
The trash can comes with pre-drilled holes and an anchor kit for ground mounting. For pole, wall, or fence mounting, the necessary hardware (bolts, etc.) is typically not included due to varying local requirements, but an optional universal mounting bracket is available for purchase.
3. How does the thermoplastic coating compare to standard powder coating?
Thermoplastic coating is generally thicker and offers superior impact resistance and durability. It provides excellent protection against chipping, scratches, and chemical corrosion, making it a premium finish for high-wear public environments.
4. Can this 10-gallon model be used for recycling?
Yes, its design makes it an excellent compact recycling station. Multiple units can be grouped together, and you can apply standardized vinyl decals or choose different powder coat colors to clearly designate streams for paper, plastic, and cans.
5. What is your production capacity for large municipal orders?
With our 13,000-square-meter manufacturing facility and experience supplying over 80 countries, Arlau is well-equipped for large-scale projects. We offer bulk order discounts and can work with you on timelines to meet municipal procurement schedules and deployment plans.
