Statistics have proven that the most common forms of trash on the ground are fast food and paper. 

This creates problems with sanitation and landscape aesthetics.  Decorative trash cans are the best tools for managing waste before it becomes an eyesore and a possible health hazard.  Because they stand out with color, they are immediately visible to people. 

The following guidelines are intended to serve as suggestions to different types of organizations that can tangibly benefit from these containers in quantifiable ways.

Two types of facilities that absolutely must have outdoor decorative trash cans are government buildings and medical offices. 

These organizations can easily produce up to 4 pounds of shredded paper per day.  When this shredded paper gets dumped at the end of the day, it needs to go into a cylindrical container that will keep it from blowing away in the wind. 

Otherwise, you have the equivalent of a ticker tape parade cascading down on the sidewalk in front of the doctor’s office or the city hall.  People that see such a mess in front of a building will immediately lose confidence in the organization within.

City governments and medical professionals cannot afford this type of negative publicity. 

A clean, attractive edifice is essential to establishing credibility in the eyes of the public that leaders and caregivers have dedicated themselves to serving.  Placing decorative trash cans near building exits give employees a convenient place to dispose of shredded paper and to maintain a healthy, ordered appearance that reinforces the purposes of these establishments.

Schools and theme parks are places that are frequented by large numbers of young people.

As it has been proven that people ages 19-24 are the most likely to toss their trash on the ground, a brightly colored, attractive container will often motivate them to properly dispose of refuse that they would otherwise throw at their feet.

Theme parks suffer a great deal of aesthetic damage from both food and paper waste.

Uneaten leftovers, plastic, and paper wrappings will be quickly thrown on the ground if people do not spot a trash can first.  Containers in these areas need to be located near high traffic areas close to the food courts.  They should also be placed near seating areas, and there should always be one near any type of activity area so people can toss their garbage in the right place before attending the next event.

Schools, for example, see enormous amounts of paper waste and old school supplies thrown away daily.

The more students there are on a campus; the greater the amount of daily waste.   In public schools, decorative trash cans need to be placed just outside of the cafeteria, near the bus porch, close to parking areas, and under athletic bleachers.

Outdoor study areas in colleges and universities should have trash containers nearby so students who are preparing for exams in the sunshine can have a convenient place to dispose of refuse appropriately.

Other organizations that need decorative trash cans include shopping centers, transportation centers, airports, and city sidewalk corners.
