We make three categories of products for public and commercial spaces:

Trash enclosures are architectural units that house wheeled bins — the same bins used for trash, recycling, and compost collection. They're designed for residential buildings, BID-managed streetscapes, parks, and institutions.

Containerization corrals are collection points for bagged trash before pickup — think of them the way you'd think of a USPS collection box. Instead of bags piling on a curb or sidewalk, a containerization corral gives the block a designated, enclosed staging point. They're used by buildings, BIDs, and city programs that need to manage high bag volume between collection cycles.

BasketPlus is our litter basket — a modern, modular alternative to the standard corner basket, built to the same design standard as the rest of our line.

We also make planters, and can configure products for composting programs and high-traffic public environments.

BasketPlus is CITIBIN's litter basket — designed as a modern, modular alternative to the utilitarian corner basket that most cities have been using for decades. It integrates with the rest of our product line aesthetically, so a BID or parks department can have consistent design language from the litter basket to the trash enclosure to the planter. Ask us about BasketPlus for your streetscape.

A containerization corral is a collection point — a designated, enclosed staging area for bagged trash or recycling before it's picked up. Think of it the way you'd think of a USPS collection box on a corner: rather than bags scattered across a curb or stacked against a building, you have one organized point where everything goes. Corrals are used by buildings, BIDs, and city sanitation programs that need to manage high bag volume between collection cycles without letting it degrade the streetscape. We've deployed them as part of NYC's Clean Curbs program across all five boroughs.

We configure enclosures based on how they'll be used. Options include top-opening doors and front-opening doors, and combinations thereof. For municipal installations, the right configuration depends on your trash collection method, pedestrian access needs, and how often the units are serviced. We'll help you spec the right setup.

We offer several locking options depending on the application — ranging from no lock (for public access), to keyed locks for controlled access, to more robust options for high-theft or high-vandalism environments. Tell us your context and we'll recommend the right hardware.

BIDs (Business Improvement Districts), parks departments, city agencies, universities, and large residential developments. If you manage public space and care about the relationship between trash infrastructure and streetscape quality, we're a fit.

Yes. We've worked on multi-block deployments across all five NYC boroughs and scaled up for institutional clients across the country. Lead times and pricing depend on order size; contact us with project specs and we'll work up a quote.

The metal core structure stays the same. The siding can change — vinyl wraps, custom colors, alternative finishes. We can match custom RAL colors and work with specific palette requirements. Reach out early in the design process; custom work takes more lead time.

Yes. Our planters are designed to match our enclosures in material and finish, so a full streetscape installation has visual consistency from the litter basket to the trash corral to the planter. They come in standard sizes, including very large formats that function as dividers between pedestrian areas and the street — a practical way to add greenery, delineate space, and improve the look of a block all at once. They're a natural complement to any BID or parks streetscape project.

It depends on how much trash you're moving. We recommend power washing public CITIBINs as often as needed, as any public fixture — the whole point is that they beautify a streetscape, and a grimy enclosure does the opposite. For high-traffic locations, regular cleaning is part of the maintenance plan.

We're pursuing Sourcewell contract eligibility, which would allow municipal purchasers to buy without a separate competitive bid process. Contact us to ask about current procurement options for your jurisdiction. Some CITIBIN products are available on Grainger, and later in 2026, Lowe’s.

Yes. We've been a vendor for Boston's citywide composting program, Project Oscar. We understand the specific demands of composting-specific enclosures: odor management, bin access, and high-visibility public use. If you're running or planning a composting program and need purpose-built infrastructure, contact us.

Product spec sheets are available on each product page. For custom configurations or spec-writing support, contact us directly. We work regularly with landscape architects, urban designers, and procurement teams.

Lead times depend on order volume, customization, and current production capacity. Standard configurations ship faster than custom orders. Contact us with your timeline early — production can bottleneck if you wait.

Accessibility requirements vary by product. Contact us with your specifications and we'll discuss what's achievable within our product line.

Yes. CITIBIN is 100% woman-owned and a certified NYC WMBE (Women and Minority-Owned Business Enterprise).

Yes. We have a full-time installation team in the NYC area and a nationwide network of trained installers for projects outside New York.

Absolutely — and we encourage it. We're happy to provide references from BIDs, city agencies, and parks departments, along with photos and specific addresses for installations you can visit. If you're in New York, you've likely already walked past a CITIBIN — the city is our showroom. We also welcome site visits to our Brooklyn showroom at Industry City. Contact us to set something up.
