Waste generation is a natural consequence of all our lives. As we move towards lifestyles, where consumption is the new catch phrase, every sphere of our life has moved towards a greater number of wants and needs. Satisfying these needs automatically entails a larger amount of purchases, which translates into more packaging materials. An overwhelming proportion of such purchases involve impulse buys or buys on the go. This means there is the need for instant gratification and on the spot consumption. Where do we then dispose the waste generated as a result of such indulgences? One option is to carry trash back home - this may not be practical in many cases. Moreover a large percentage of modern populations do not have the time, inclination or discipline this option entails. This brings us to the need for facilities which enable the disposal of trash at the point of generation. The answer exists in the form of outdoor trash receptacles.

The mere presence of outdoor trash receptacles in a public space is an automatic incentive for the responsible disposal of waste. But the receptacles must be sufficient in ...
... number and placed at strategic points, especially in high traffic areas. The success of such an endeavour depends on the perceived ease with which disposal can be accomplished. But waste disposal has acquired a new level of significance in the context of conservation efforts undertaken to reduce pollution and to limitour individual and collective carbon footprints. No waste disposal effort is considered comprehensive in the absence of significant contribution to the three Rs of conservation – reduce, reuse and recycle. So trash receptacles are now used to segregate wastes at source as biodegradable and non-biodegradable. This enables suitable follow up steps for the completion of the recycling process. Colour coding of receptacles can help to adequately direct segregation of wastes and achieve community participation in the efforts to save the planet in addition to saving costs.

outdoor trash receptacles are of varying sizes and colours. Ash urns or tubs are useful to safely get rid of tobacco related wastes and are typically placed in areas showing high traffic of smokers. Trash receptacles of larger sizes are usually placed in picnic and lunch areas, adjacent to food courts. These receptacles are often exposed to extreme weather conditions and need to be built to withstand the same. Colour variants, serve the aesthetic purpose but also serve the additional purpose of identifying receptacles of designated colours for specific kinds of trash. Metal containers fit the bill in terms of sturdiness, longevity and elegance. Rust proof coatings and sand blasting help overcome any objections with respect to the use of metal receptacles for the outdoors. These relatively heavy metal containers can be lined with liners to enable easy collection of trash. They give plastic containers a run for their money in terms of strength and the relatively less probability of toppling over!

The solution to any problem begins with the correct identification of the underlying issues. The problem of waste segregation and consequent disposal begins with clear steps for the collection of trash through a sensible and systematic placement of outdoor trash receptacles.
