Common Questions About Trash Can Parts

How can I keep my trash cans from blowing away?

Trash can anchor kits secure your cans to the ground, preventing them from blowing away in a storm or being stolen. KaTom offers several anchor options, all functioning similarly: a bolt is driven through the bottom of the trash can and into a stabilizing plate beneath, which disperses force and prevents the bolt from ripping through the can. KaTom also offers weighted trash can bases for stability, but they must be used with specific compatible cans.

Are there any commercial trash can accessories to keep my flatware from being thrown away?

Flatware savers are magnets that attach to the top of trash receptacles and catch magnetic flatware, ensuring utensils don't end up in the trash. These accessories allow food to pass through the trash, while flatware stays at the top. Make sure to select the right size for your trash can; they should only be used on cans designated for dirty plates.

What is a trash can caddy bag?

A caddy bag wraps around the trash can to store cleaning supplies, making it easier for workers to clean the establishment outside business hours. The caddy bag eliminates the need for a cart, as it allows the worker to move the trash can around while handling cleaning tasks.
