BINN’s eye-catching proportions almost make one forget that it is a convenient and easy-to-use trash can. Its subtle beauty is applicable to virtually all environments and public spaces. The concrete body and the galvanized powder-coated steel lid not only look pleasing, but also guarantee durability and abrasion-resistance. Due to its material and design, it is also highly resistant to vandalism and can be cleaned without any difficulty. The waste bin can be fixed to a designated place rather easily, at just one point.
