The size of the plastic trash can has a close correlation with the frequency of garbage collection and transportation costs.
Plastic trash cans with smaller capacities, such as small household trash cans, have a relatively high frequency of garbage collection. Due to their limited capacity, they fill up faster. For example, a small plastic trash can in an ordinary household may need to be cleaned every day, and may even need to be cleaned several times a day on days when more garbage is generated. This means that garbage collection vehicles need to go to residential areas more frequently for collection operations. From the perspective of transportation costs, although the amount of garbage transported in a single small-capacity trash can each time is small, due to the high collection frequency, the mileage of the vehicle will increase, and costs such as fuel consumption will also increase accordingly. Moreover, frequent parking and starting will accelerate the wear and tear of the vehicle, and the maintenance costs will also increase.
Plastic trash cans with larger capacities, such as large-capacity trash cans used in public places or some enterprises, have a relatively low frequency of garbage collection. They may only need to be cleaned once every few days or even a week. This means that garbage collection vehicles do not need to be dispatched so frequently, reducing mileage and fuel consumption. However, when these large-capacity trash cans are full, the weight of the garbage will be large. During transportation, larger and more powerful vehicles may be required to load and transport the garbage, and the purchase and maintenance costs of such vehicles are relatively high. Moreover, due to the large amount of concentrated garbage, some special fixing and protection measures may be required to prevent the garbage from leaking or scattering during transportation, which will also increase certain costs.
In addition, the distribution and combination of trash cans of different capacities will also affect the overall garbage collection frequency and transportation costs. If a region is reasonably equipped with trash cans of different capacities, such as small-capacity trash cans for scattered small places and large-capacity trash cans for concentrated garbage generation areas, the collection frequency and transportation costs can be balanced to a certain extent by optimizing the collection routes and time arrangements. In short, when choosing the capacity of Plastic trash can, factors such as garbage collection frequency and transportation costs need to be comprehensively considered to achieve more efficient garbage disposal and management.
