The model that our trash can factory ships most often for high-traffic urban plazas is the MetroMax 120L Dual-Stream Stainless Steel Trash Can. It was designed for spaces where thousands of people pass through daily, so it balances large capacity with a footprint that does not crowd walkways. The dual-stream layout separates general waste and recyclables, while the 120-liter total volume reduces how often maintenance crews need to empty it during peak events.

What makes it the top seller? First, the body uses 304 stainless steel with a graffiti-resistant powder coating. This combination stands up to rain, sun, salt, and rough use while still looking clean in a modern plaza. Second, the locking lid and concealed bag system deter tampering and keep waste out of sight. Third, the rounded edges, rain hood, and optional cigarette tray improve safety and hygiene. The bin can also be bolted down or fitted with a weighted base to resist wind and accidental movement.

For plaza managers, serviceability matters as much as durability. The MetroMax opens with a single key, uses standard liners, and has removal handles that let one worker empty it quickly. Optional color-coded lids and bilingual labels help pedestrians sort correctly without slowing down. We can customize logos, colors, and opening shapes for municipalities, shopping districts, transit hubs, and parks.

Although our factory offers compactors and larger solar-powered models, the MetroMax 120L remains the most popular for urban plazas because it delivers the best mix of capacity, security, appearance, and easy maintenance. If you are specifying bins for a busy plaza, this is the model we recommend starting with.
