Category: Waste Receptacles

When mounting on a wall, pick a sturdy mounting point and prop receptacle up a couple of inches above ground – and level. Once in place, with mounting bracket latched on to the receptacle, use a pencil to mark where it is going to be mounted. Remove wall mount from receptacle and place back on wall.  Realign with marks and mark hole centers. Use appropriate concrete anchor size that will be slightly smaller than the holes on the bracket.  For wood use #12-14 x 1”-2” wood screws. Make sure when installing to re-install the garbage can and check that it is level; finish installing anchors and hang the receptacle back on the mount.  Adjust if needed.

When mounting the ashtray on the wall, pick a sturdy mounting point and place receptacle between 36”-42”above ground – and level. Once in place, remove ashtray pocket from receptacle and place back on wall to mark hole centers. Use appropriate concrete anchors; the size of the anchor will be slightly smaller than the holes.  For wood use #10 x 1” wood screws. Make sure when installing, to re-install garbage can and check that it is level, once it is level, finish installing anchors and hang the receptacle back on the wall.

Choose a flat surface and put your receptacle in place to mark the holes for drilling.

Installation on Concrete

Concrete sidewalks or courtyards are the most common surface that benches are installed on. Masonry drill the appropriate size holes for 1/4” -3/8″; tap-in concrete anchors and secure the receptacle in place with your anchors. For additional security to prevent theft, use one of our anti-theft removable or non-removable nuts.

• Anti-theft Square Tapered Nuts
• Anti-theft Tri-Groove Nuts

Installation on Wooden Decks

For wooden decks constructed from beams or ties that have a small gap in between each beam, line up your receptacle so all the mounting holes sit in the center of the beams (at least 3/4″ away from the edge). Mark your holes and drill pilot holes so you can install 1/4″ or 3/8″ lag bolts without splitting the wood.

Installation on Asphalt

A section of asphalt should be cut out and replaced with a concrete footing at least 4″ deep. The receptacle can then be secured using the standard concrete anchoring procedure. Concrete footings can be painted with black paint to blend them into the surrounding asphalt.

Installation on Interlocking Pavers

Interlocking pavers or brick sidewalks create a unique challenge for anchoring receptacles in place. The first step is to remove the pavers and dig out the layer of sand beneath them. Next, pour concrete footings or an entire concrete pad to anchor your receptacle to.

There are two options for finishing this kind of installation. 1) The footings can remain under the pavers with the bricks put back in place over the footings, or 2) the bricks can be left out with the top of the concrete footings or pad being level with the top of the surrounding pavers.

When mounting on a wall, pick a sturdy mounting point.  You can install on the ground or prop the receptacle up a couple of inches above ground and level.  Once in place, make sure it is level, plum and use a pencil to make small marks where it will be mounted and mark hole centers. Remove from wall. Use appropriate concrete anchor size that will be slightly smaller than the holes; for drywall use appropriate drywall anchors and screws.  Wood use #8 – 10 x 1” wood screws. Make sure when installing to re-install garbage can and check that it is level, then finish installing anchors and hang the receptacle back on the wall.
