Commercial Trash Bins & Waste Containers in Toronto & Canada
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from operators buying this kind of equipment.
What size trash can does a restaurant kitchen need?
It depends on how much waste you produce and how much floor space you have. A slim bin like the Winco Slender 23 Gallon Trash Bin fits tighter spots along a line or prep table, while a 32 gallon round bin suits busier areas that fill up faster. For small spaces such as under a table or at a dining room station, a waste basket in the 28 or 41 quart size does the job.
How do you keep silverware out of the trash?
Magnetic flatware catcher lids sit on top of the bin, and a magnet in the lid pulls flatware out of the garbage. The Chute Jr. Magnetic Flatware Catcher Lid fits most rectangular 23 gallon containers, and The Chute II is made for 32 and 44 gallon bins. They only work with magnetic utensils.
Do commercial trash bins come with lids and dollies?
Not always, so check the product page. The Winco Slender 23 Gallon bins and the Winco 32 Gallon Gray Round bin are sold without lids. There is a matching swing lid for the slender bins and a gray cover for the 32 gallon round bin. The Winco 18″ Round Trash Can Dolly fits snugly into the 32 gallon round bin and holds up to 400 lbs, which makes it easier to roll a full bin than to lift it.
