Before we write a proposal, we walk the district with the executive directors and operations managers.

That's how the Meatpacking District project started. We spent time on the cobblestones, took in the matte black metal, the corten steel, the brick. The district has a very specific design language, any public fixture needs to complement, including passing Landmarks Preservation Committee oversight.

From there, we put together a rendering. Swipe to see it alongside the finished installation. Renderings are an important part of our design process, and ours tend to look a lot like what actually gets built.

For Meatpacking, that meant corten steel panels fabricated by a metalworker in Brooklyn's Navy Yard, matching the corten planters already throughout the district. The LPC requirement shaped the material choice, and the result is an enclosure that belongs to the streetscape.

To see how CITIBIN will look in your city, park, or BID, contact us for a proposal. Every project proposal includes custom renderings to help you visualize the finished space.

We just signed a five-year lease on a warehouse three times the size of our last one, and received four containers of product from Vietnam in the same month.

That's a lot of boxes. That's a lot of commitment to what comes next.

As a small business owner, you sign the lease before you've filled the space. There's real fear in that. But standing in this warehouse right now, surrounded by stacked CITIBIN components ready to ship, the fear is quieter than the excitement.

The best thing about our CITIBIN compost bin at The Longest Table Chelsea? How little it had to do. ♻️

On Sunday, over 2,000 neighbors sat down together on West 21st Street for a block-long community potluck. CITIBIN was proud to provide the compost bins for the day, partnering with The Longest Table, Open Plans, and One Love Community Fridge to make sure that food didn’t go to waste, or to the landfill.

Our wrapped red bins saw lighter use than expected, which was actually the ultimate win! Thanks to Asmeret Berhe-Lumax and One Love Community Fridge, surplus food was rescued and redistributed to community fridges across NYC. Only genuine food scraps made it into our bins—meaning less overall waste and more food shared with neighbors in need.

Plus, our bins had plenty of fans: a steady stream of neighborhood dogs stopped by to say hello (and double-check for any stray leftovers!). 🐶

When thousands of people eat together, the best waste management system starts with reducing waste first. Huge kudos to founder Maryam Banikarim, Eric Parker, and all the incredible volunteers who made the day such a success!

On the Lower East Side, CITIBIN's heavy-duty powder-coated aluminum trash enclosures wear a whole new look, with each custom wrap including a hand-illustrated map of the exact cross-streets where that enclosure stands.

The result is nine locations transformed into pieces of neighborhood public art, all built on the same durable structure underneath, so waste storage reads as part of the streetscape instead of an eyesore.

If you've ever watched a wood shed go from new to warped and discolored in a few seasons, you know how quickly outdoor storage can become a problem.

Mass-market sheds may look good at first, but the plastic breaks, the wood warps, and the metal rusts. Cracks form, doors stop closing cleanly, and regular cleaning and sealing become a seasonal chore just to keep things functional.

CITIBIN enclosures are built with a powder-coated, marine-grade sheet aluminum, the same material trusted on boats. Aluminum resists both rust and rot, designed to hold up through years of outdoor use. And because the structure is aluminum, it can be clad with durable outdoor materials like bamboo composite boards or vinyl wraps.

Four things that separate CITIBIN from competitors on the market.

1. It's outdoor furniture, not a trash shed. Most enclosures are built to be tolerated. A CITIBIN is built to be seen, with clean lines and a finish that enhances the facade of a house or a commercial block. Copycats have shown up over the years, but the look is the easy part to imitate.

2. The frame is ten-gauge sheet aluminum with a durable powder coat finish, so a scratch will not spread into rust the way it does on steel.

3. The aluminum cabinet is bent and welded with no gaps, designed to help keep rodents out of your trash.

4. Homeowners, BIDs, and cities have been using CITIBIN for years, with reviews and repeat orders to show for it.

Collection is where most waste receptacles fall apart. If your crew can’t get the can out fast, the unit creates work instead of saving it. We brought BasketPlus to NRPA to highlight how smart design supports the maintenance crews keeping our public spaces clean.

Key servicing features:
• Full-Door Clearance: Opens wide so heavy, full bags don’t get snagged or torn on the frame.
• Sanitation-Grade Locks: Keeps the receptacle secure from tampering while giving authorized staff instant access.
• Straight-Pull Retrieval: Ergonomic design reduces strain and speeds up route times.

Smart for the park. Built for the crew.
