Why Property Managers Love BrownstoneBin

Why Property Managers Love BrownstoneBin

12th Apr 2023

After nearly 20 years managing property in New York City, the team at Brownstone Property Group has experienced most every issue relating to building care. Since Covid landed in early 2020, and many of us began spending more time at home, the amount of (especially food) trash has shifted from commercial locations toward residences. Keeping rats and racoons away from trash is among the most challenging issues facing property managers. BrownstoneBin trash enclosures are designed to address the requirements of managers, owners and residents to stop rats from getting into your trash. Here's why BrownstoneBin is the go-to trash can storage option for property managers.

Best outdoor trash enclosure

Attractive trash storage

Many outdoor garbage can holders are crudely designed and made of materials like wood, plastic and rusting metal – all prone to rot. To ensure your property keeps looking good—consider investing in a beautiful and functional product like BrownstoneBin. BrownstoneBin trash enclosures are designed in a modern architectural style that enhances the curb appeal of your property, and keeps trash secure and away from rats and racoons.

Bad Bins of NY


Resilient and Rat-Resistant

The construction of many inferior trash enclosures reflects poor quality design and material choice. Over time, these low-grade products will fail with prolonged exposure to weather and normal wear and tear. Wood warps, discolors and rots, while metal bins rust and decay. Once gaps open in an outdoor trash enclosure that allow rats to access your trash, the product’s decay not only detracts from the beauty of your property, but the exposed trash will attract rats and other vermin.

Every BrownstoneBin trash enclosure is built of heavy-duty corrugated aluminum with stainless hardware that will not rust nor rot. The one-piece aluminum walls, doors, base and lid are commercial grade and won’t bend or break due to typical use -- AND is warranteed for five years. While most rats can not chew thru metal thicker than 2mm, BrownstoneBin’s aluminum panels are 3.2mm -- too thick for rats to chew through. Furthermore, a rat can fit through a 20mm hole. But BrownstoneBin’s 6.3mm-diameter floor holes and 4.7mm seams are too small for rats to fit through.
