Troubleshooting
Bin lid does not fit securely.
Ensure the lid is placed evenly on top of the bin. The tapered design should allow for a snug fit. Check for any debris obstructing the rim.
Difficulty lifting the bin due to handle strain.
Distribute weight evenly inside the bin. The handles are strong but designed for loads the bin can safely contain. Avoid overfilling if planning to move it frequently.
Rust spots appearing on the surface.
While the powder coating offers protection, prolonged exposure to harsh weather or moisture without drying could lead to rust. Clean the affected area gently and apply a rust-inhibiting paint suitable for metal if necessary. Ensure the bin is dried after cleaning or exposure to rain.
Scratches on the powder coating.
Minor scratches can be touched up with a grey paint suitable for metal surfaces to prevent potential rust. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that could cause further scratching.
