ON THE DRAWING BOARD
At TuffBoxx, we are always working hard to improve our designs and strive to be a leader in innovation. The next generation Picnic features with a new accessibility compliant waste receptacle with an improved “mailbox” style chute system.
The new chutes are easier and safer to use, meeting accessibility requirements. There are very limited choices available for any animal resistant waste bins that will also be accessibility compliant, but we have done this with the new TuffBoxx Camper and Picnic receptacles.
There is often conflict between making bins secure against bears and keeping them easy for people to use. With the pull down “mailbox” style chutes, it is really easy for anyone to push the one finger release and pull the chute open to put waste inside. However, with bears and other wildlife will find it virtually impossible to push the release while opening the chute door at the same time. Even if a clever bear found a way to do that, the chute size would still prevent the bear from even being able to access the garbage anyways.
