240L plastic trash can Generally, it has no fire prevention function. The main function of plastic trash can is to collect garbage and facilitate garbage disposal, rather than fire prevention.

The fire prevention ability of plastic trash can is affected by the following factors:

Material: plastic trash cans are generally made of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and other plastics, which have low melting point and are easy to melt, burn or produce toxic gases. Compared with metal trash cans, plastic trash cans have poor fireproof performance.

Construction: The plastic trash can is usually a single-layer design, without thermal insulation layer. When the flame contacts the plastic garbage can, the heat is easily transferred to the inside of the garbage can, causing the combustible in the garbage to burn and exacerbating the fire.

Functional design: plastic garbage cans are usually open design, without effective sealing device. In case of fire, flame and smoke can spread freely and may ignite surrounding combustibles.

Although plastic trash cans generally do not have the function of fire prevention, some measures can be taken to reduce the risk and harm of fire:

Selection of appropriate garbage cans: In places where fire prevention is required, metal garbage cans or garbage cans with fire prevention functions, such as fire-proof plastic garbage cans, can be selected. These garbage cans are usually made of high temperature resistant materials and have thermal insulation layer, which can reduce the spread of fire to a certain extent.

Garbage classification: Flammable and explosive garbage, such as paper, wood, plastic bottles, etc., shall be collected separately, and corresponding fire prevention measures shall be taken. For example, add smoke detectors, fire extinguishers and other equipment to the paper trash can.

Regularly clean the garbage can: the garbage in the garbage can will produce organic gas, which is easy to cause fire. Regular cleaning of trash can can reduce the risk of fire. When cleaning the garbage can, pay attention to avoid using flammable substances, such as alcohol, gasoline, etc.

Add fire prevention facilities: fire extinguishers, fire hydrants and other facilities shall be set around the plastic trash cans to put out the fire in time in case of fire.

To sum up, 240 liter plastic trash cans generally do not have the function of fire prevention, but the risk and harm of fire can be reduced by selecting appropriate trash cans, implementing garbage classification, regularly cleaning trash cans and adding fire prevention facilities.
