United Receptacle's Defender Series Trash Cans
Boston

We've always had a serious thing for Vipp trash bins, but the price... well, our love has remained at a distance. But enter United Receptacle's Defender series...

These aren't new, in fact you've probably seen them at your doctors office. But United Receptacle's Defender Series are all powder coated metal, leak-proof, bright red (or white or stainless), and the proportions are perfect. You can get them in taller or round shapes, and some even have a soft-closing mechanism (those are called Silent Defenders). Both models come with removable biohazard stickers if you want to frighten your guests.

hey, these are pretty nice looking! i never noticed hehe

i was JUST looking at trash cans whilst surfing last nite. i'm so annoyed that they don't sell large 3-part stainless steel trash cans for trash and recycling. they have em in canadia and europa. what's up with that?

I really think the biohazard sticker is best deployed on a laundry hamper.

that one with the biohazard sticker is EXACTLY the type of bin we use at work (I work in a lab).
It has huge capacity but I don't think it would be a lot of fun to wipe it clean from the inside, since it is so deep. I hope it has a removable plastic liner, at least.

12 gallon? is that the capacity of a normal trashbag?

i'm sure this will get lost in the AT backpages, but:::::::

i hunted down a stainless steel, 3-compartment, trash and recycling bin...

http://www.organize.com/3-compartment-recycling-bin.html

okay, you have to call them. it's on backorder until July 15th, at which time it ships from the manufacters for $25, plus the site is having a 15% off sale, so the total for me came to like $102. expensive, but considering how long i've been looking for this thing, damn! i'm excited!

the nice lady i spoke with at organize.com said they are modifying this design slightly - the pedals will be different, and the unit itself will be bigger - which, if you ask me, is FINE. it SHOULD be bigger. the current size is kinda small.

so, that's my big news for the day! i just spent a hundred bucks on something i won't see until probably august heheh.

cheers!

wow!! the price is higher than i would want to pay...but i checked out organize.com and i am pretty damn tempted to buy it even though it's on back order. this is definitely better than the eyesore of a recycling station i have now. i love that you can lift out the black part too.

thanks katy
:-D
