Arlau Circular Metal Trash Can: Durable and Low-Maintenance Public Solution
Since 1999, Arlau has designed outdoor furniture to withstand public use. This circular metal trash can combines robust galvanized steel construction with a user-friendly design, offering a reliable waste management solution for any outdoor setting.
Built with Durable Galvanized Steel and Protective Coating
The can is constructed from heavy-duty galvanized steel, providing a strong foundation that resists rust. The exterior is finished with a powder-coated layer of DuPont outdoor paint, which offers enhanced protection against scratches, UV fading, and graffiti, ensuring a lasting appearance with minimal upkeep .
Features a Practical and Hygienic Removable Liner
A key advantage is the integrated removable liner. Made from 0.35–0.5mm galvanized steel sheet, this inner container can be easily taken out for cleaning or for emptying bagged waste. This design simplifies maintenance for staff and helps keep the main barrel hygienic.
Offers Functional Design for Diverse Outdoor Settings
With its classic circular shape and sturdy 1.5–2.0mm steel body, this trash can is built for stability and high visibility. It is an ideal choice for commercial and municipal applications, including city streets, public parks, school campuses, and business plazas, where durable and low-maintenance fixtures are essential.
Features & Advantages:
All-Weather Durability: The combination of galvanized steel and a powder-coated finish provides excellent resistance to corrosion, moisture, and extreme temperatures, guaranteeing long-term performance outdoors.
Easy Maintenance & Cleanliness: The removable liner is a significant functional benefit. It allows for quick waste bag changes, makes pressure-washing the interior easy, and prevents liquid waste from corroding the main barrel.
Vandal-Resistant Construction: The thick steel plate body and robust lid (made from 1.2mm die-cut steel) create a sturdy unit that can withstand impact and deter tampering in public spaces.
Customizable Aesthetics: Available in various powder-coated colors, this metal trash can can be matched to specific site themes, corporate branding, or municipal color schemes to enhance the visual environment.
High Capacity & Clear Signage: The circular design offers a substantial waste capacity. Its smooth surface is also ideal for applying clear recycling or waste disposal graphics, aiding in public compliance.

1. How does the powder coating improve the lifespan of the trash can?
The powder-coated finish is more durable than standard paint. It is applied electrostatically and cured under heat, forming a hard, uniform layer that is highly resistant to chipping, scratching, and fading from sun exposure. This protection is crucial for maintaining appearance and preventing rust on the underlying galvanized steel.
2. Is the removable liner made of metal, and how is it secured?
Yes, the liner is made from a 0.35–0.5mm galvanized steel sheet. It is designed to fit securely inside the main barrel. Typically, it can be lifted out by hand or with simple tools, making it convenient for maintenance crews to handle during cleaning or waste compaction.
3. Can this trash can be securely anchored to the ground?
Yes, for safety and theft prevention in public areas, the trash can is designed for permanent installation. It can be securely anchored to concrete or other hard surfaces using a standard ground-fixing kit, which is often available as an accessory.
4. What are the main benefits of a circular design for an outdoor trash can?
The circular shape offers several benefits. It provides structural strength with uniform material distribution, has no corners where debris can accumulate, and allows for easy access from all sides. Its classic silhouette is also widely recognizable as a waste receptacle, improving public usability.
5. What is the production lead time for a customized color order?
With our 13,000-square-meter manufacturing facility, Arlau can handle custom powder-coated color requests efficiently. Lead times vary based on the order volume and the specific color. Please contact our sales team with your project details for an accurate timeline and quote.
