Don’t overlook the importance of your bathroom trash cans. Your business’s reputation can be damaged by having a dirty bathroom, and a convenient and clean trash can can make all the difference. Properly selected trash receptacles can also make a big visual impact on a room. Make every part of your customer’s experience with your business pleasant, including their visit to your bathroom.
Things to Consider When Buying Bathroom Trash Cans
Do They Match Your Other Bathroom Fixtures?
Pay attention to the details. A stainless steel trash can will look nice next to a stainless steel paper towel and soap dispenser. Mixing too many metals and colors can make a bathroom look messy and unfinished. Don’t be afraid to add a pop of color with your trash can, but try to keep the rest of the colors subtle.
Are They Big Enough?
An overfull bathroom trash can is a quick road to a messy bathroom, and a bad customer experience. Consider the number of people that will use your bathroom each day, whether you offer paper towels or hand dryers, and how often your trash is taken out each day. A high volume bathroom with no hand dryers will either need a larger trash can, or a very attentive cleaning staff. If you don’t think you’ll have time to empty it throughout the day, consider going with a larger trash receptacle.
How Many Do You Need?
If your bathroom are on the larger side, one trash can might not be enough. The easiest way to encourage your patrons to put their trash in a receptacle rather than on the floor is to make it convenient. Have a trash can placed in clear view of the sinks. If you have a long line of sinks, consider putting a trash can at either end.
How Much Space Do You Have?
Space is a valuable commodity in a small bathroom. You might have your eye on a large round trash can, but if you’re working in a small room you might want to reconsider. A half round or rectangular trash can will have a lower profile and leave more room for your patrons to comfortably walk around.
