Introduction
Choosing the right plastic garbage bins in bulk can be challenging for businesses, schools, hospitals, and municipalities. This complete guide helps you understand the key factors - from types and materials to certifications and customization - so you can purchase the right bins for your needs at the best factory-direct prices.
Types of Plastic Garbage Bins Available in Bulk
There are many types of plastic trash cans on the market. To help you quickly find the product you want, we categorize them by size (capacity), purpose, design, and material.
By Size
Plastic garbage bins are generally classified by capacity as small plastic garbage cans (10-30L); medium plastic trash cans (50–120L) and large plastic garbage bins (240L and above). Small capacity bins are generally suitable for indoor offices and conference rooms; while very large capacity bins are suitable for factories, schools, streets, and other large public places.
Enlightening Pallet offers a full range of plastic trash cans in various sizes. Below are the most frequently purchased plastic trash can sizes by buyers.
By Use
Plastic trash cans have a wide range of uses, and are generally divided into the following four types according to user needs.
Household Garbage Cans: If you need small-volume wholesale indoor trash cans, such as those for offices, kitchens, and bathrooms, most garbage can manufacturers, such as ENLIGHTENING PALLET, offer a variety of types (flip-top, pedal, push-lid, etc.) and shapes (round or square) to meet your diverse wholesale needs.
Commercial Garbage Bins: If you're looking to purchase a batch for schools, retail locations, etc., tjey offer a variety of capacities and can customize logos or colors to enhance your brand awareness.
Industrial Trash Cans: If you're looking to purchase large-capacity garbage cans for factories or warehouses, their outdoor garbage cans are ideal. They feature four wheels for easy movement, a capacity of up to 1100L, and are highly durable.
Municipal/Public Garbage Cans: If you're looking to purchase public garbage cans for local waste management, Enlightening Pallet's garbage cans are also suitable. Their trash cans are certified to EN840 and other standards, meeting export requirements and facilitating your import.
By Design
To meet the needs of global buyers, plastic trash can manufacturers generally offer the following designs for their trash cans:
Wheeled Garbage Bins: Besides small indoor trash cans, manufacturers generally offer larger-capacity trash cans with two or four wheels for easy movement.
Foot Pedal Garbage Bin: For environments with strict hygiene standards, such as hospitals and kitchens, some manufacturers offer pedal-operated trash cans to prevent direct contact with the waste.
Recycling Bins: Most plastic trash can manufacturers design color-coded trash cans to meet global waste sorting requirements, facilitating waste sorting.

By Material
To ensure the durability of trash cans, manufacturers typically use either HDPE or PP materials. HDPE offers high impact resistance and UV protection, making it ideal for outdoor use. PP, on the other hand, has a smooth surface and is better suited for indoor use. ENLIGHTENING PALLET offers trash cans made from HDPE, as well as stainless steel trash cans, providing high-quality trash cans to buyers worldwide.
Key Factors to Consider Before Wholesale Garbage Cans
When choosing the material for your trash can, it is best to choose HDPE or galvanized steel, which have high impact resistance. This ensures long-term use both indoors and outdoors, reducing your wholesale costs.
You also need to know what certifications are required for exporting plastic trash cans. For example, CE, REACH, RoHS, EN 840, FDA, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, etc., to ensure that the trash cans meet environmental and safety certification requirements.
If you're looking to wholesale unique plastic trash cans, it's best to choose a manufacturer that offers OEM/ODM services. Most manufacturers offer customization. Generally, you can customize the trash can's color, print your logo, choose the lid style (flat, round, or pedal-operated), and select suitable accessories (wheels, drain holes, etc.).
Of course, understanding the supplier's pricing structure is also crucial before wholesaling trash cans. It's best to first find out the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for each type of trash can; for example, ENLIGHTENING PALLET's MOQ is 100 pieces. Their trash cans range in price from US$7.00 to US$90.00 (FOB Qingdao, specific price depends on size and design). Generally, the larger the order quantity, the lower the price. Also, understand if the supplier has any hidden costs, such as mold fees, packaging fees, inland shipping costs, and export documentation fees, etc.
Because trash cans are relatively large, packaging efficiency and transportation methods will also affect your experience. You should first find out if the plastic trash cans use a nested design and what the typical packaging materials are, such as film or individual cartons. If it's container shipping, also understand that a 40-inch high cube container can hold 1150pcs 240L trash cans, and 20FT container can hold 450pcs.
