Reccomendation of Metrobox

I just noticed Metrobox is advertising on Brownstoner (why wouldnt they….perfect match).

I’ve been meaning to mention in the forum for a few months that we purchased 2 of the metrobins to replace some pressure treated timber bin storage units that were falling apart. Cant reccomend them highly enough. Even after 6 months they looks as new as original and will hopefully continue to do so for many years to come. yes they are expensive at 1,200 each but they look fantastic and i wish more people in brooklyn heights would purchase them as they look so much cleaner.

Feel free to take a look at them at 135 henry st (there is also a place on Hicks street with them).

If you have any questions feel free to ask below.

I’ve been trying to decide between Metrobox and Citibins. Haven’t been able to make a decision yet. Would love feedback from someone who has taken more time to examine the differences.

I like the Metrobins but they only seem to hold 32 gallon unwheeled bins, which feel on the small size to me. Have you found them to be big enough to manage your garbage? Last thing I want is to have extra bags piling up and around the bin due to overflow.

Does anyone have other suggestions for wooden or less expensive bins?
