55 Gallon Drum Trash Cans

Our 55 gallon drum trash cans are primarily constructed from low-density polyethylene (LDPE), a high-quality, fade-resistant plastic that allows trash cans to withstand time and various weather conditions. We also carry barrel trash cans made from durable carbon steel drums, often featuring a rust inhibitor for enhanced longevity in demanding environments.

Customers can pair their drum bases with a wide selection of compatible plastic lids. Many lids are molded from thick, high‑strength polyethylene designed to resist dents, rust, chipping, peeling, and weather-related wear. 

These material options allow you to tailor your barrel trash can setup precisely to your facility’s durability, safety, and maintenance needs.

Our 55 gallon drum trash cans are an excellent choice for outdoor settings. Plastic drums are designed to be weather-resistant, with fade-resistant LDPE that will not chip or peel. Steel drum bases are also designed to be weather‑resistant, often coated with rust inhibitors to withstand exposure to rain, temperature fluctuations, and long-term outdoor use.

When combined with our wide selection of plastic dome‑top, swing‑top, bug‑barrier, and funnel‑style lids, these drum trash cans help keep pests out, contain odors, and maintain a clean appearance in parks, campuses, industrial yards, retail exteriors, and other outdoor facilities.

Whether you’re looking to build a rugged 55 gallon trash can for heavy foot‑traffic areas or a low‑maintenance barrel trash can for open outdoor zones, our products are engineered to perform reliably in the elements.
