A Robust Foundation for Demanding Public Spaces
The Arlau BS17-1 is engineered as a permanent waste management solution for the busiest areas. Its core strength comes from a 2.0–2.5mm thick steel outer casing, built to withstand impact, weather, and constant use. The vibrant blue color is not just paint; it's a thermoplastic coating that is fused to the metal. This process creates an exceptionally resilient finish that resists chipping, fading, and corrosion far better than standard paints, ensuring the bin looks professional for years.
Intelligent Design for Security and Easy Maintenance
Functionality is at the heart of this commercial trash can design. The secure, lockable side door provides authorized personnel with quick and easy access for waste removal and liner changes without needing to lift the heavy lid. Inside, a separate 0.35–0.5mm galvanized steel inner liner adds a crucial layer of protection against moisture and residue, simplifying cleaning and preventing rust. The inner liner is further protected with DuPont outdoor powder coating, a premium finish known for its longevity and resistance to chemicals and abrasion.
Engineered for Long-Term Value and Civic Pride
Choosing Arlau means investing in proven performance and global reliability. Established in 1999, we supply durable public space furniture to municipalities and businesses in over 80 countries. The BS17-1's cylindrical design and perforated lid effectively minimize odors and rain ingress, while its sturdy construction deters vandalism. It is the definitive choice for city managers, park planners, and facility operators seeking a cost-effective, heavy-duty outdoor waste bin that reduces long-term maintenance and replacement costs.

1. What makes the thermoplastic coating on this bin better than standard paint?
Thermoplastic coating is a process where a thicker, plastic-based powder is electrostatically applied and then heat-fused to the metal. This creates a more durable, flexible, and weather-resistant barrier that is less prone to chipping, scratching, and UV fading compared to liquid paint, ensuring a longer-lasting aesthetic with minimal maintenance.
2. Is the blue color the only option available?
While blue is a standard and highly visible color for public waste bins, Arlau offers customization through our OEM/ODM services. We can typically produce bins in other RAL standard colors to meet specific municipal guidelines or site design requirements. Contact our sales team with your color specifications.
3. How does the galvanized steel inner liner improve the bin's lifespan?
Galvanized steel has a protective zinc coating that prevents rust. By using it for the inner liner—the part most exposed to moisture and waste—we add a critical layer of corrosion defense. This separates the waste environment from the main structure, significantly extending the overall life of the durable outdoor waste bin and reducing long-term costs.
4. Can this bin be configured for waste sorting or recycling?
Yes. The model can be adapted for dual or multi-stream waste collection. We can customize the bin with different color bodies, multiple apertures in the lid, and clear, durable graphics to designate recycling (paper, plastic, cans) or general waste, supporting public sustainability initiatives.
5. Do you provide matching public furniture like benches and bike racks?
Absolutely. Arlau's main business is comprehensive public space furniture. We manufacture a coordinated range of products including indoor/outdoor benches, picnic tables, bicycle racks, bollards, and tree grates. This allows us to provide unified, durable street furniture solutions for entire parks, campuses, or urban renewal projects.
