The product design of City® in the 1990s was based on detailed surveys and tests. The design team, led by Hannu Kähönen, was tasked with creating a litter bin that could be emptied as easily, safely and efficiently as possible.
The City® litter bins have conquered the world since the 1990s and been ordered in more than 40 countries already. The design process also developed a sturdy product that resists vandalism and endures long-term mechanical strain.
The international demand for the City® Series grew quickly after winning a major design contest organised by the City of Helsinki in the 1990s.
The versatile City® Series comes with numerous accessories. City® bins can be found in the streets, parks, housing association yard areas, shopping centres, airports and indoor facilities of various urban environments worldwide. All City® litter bins are manufactured in Finland.
