This lowly element of "street furniture" stands as the first line of defense against dirty streets in the
City of New York.
The primary responsibility for keeping the city free of litter lies with the Department of Sanitation, which has installed these ubiquitous wire mesh cans at every intersection.
Constructed from durable, fire-safe, galvanized steel, the general purpose litter basket is ideal for many uses, not just as a litter container, but also for storage of products and merchandise.
Tapered styling permits nesting for easy access, and rolled-top edging makes handling more comfortable. Six equally-spaced vertical ribs are welded to mesh at every point of contact for added strength; single sheet expanded metal body will not unravel. Small diamond patterns prevent escape of small pieces of refuse. One-piece dished bottom is perforated to allow drainage of rain and melting snow. (Dimensions: 24 diameter x 33 height; Shpg. Wt. 35 lbs.) NOTE: Ground shipping only.
