BLASTGARD MTR, MODELS 91 AND 101 BOMB PROOF TRASH CANS AN ENTIRELY NEW AND UNPRECEDENTED CLASS OF BLAST-RESISTANT AND BLAST-MITIGATING TRASH RECEPTACLES. Modification Number AO01 to GSA Contract GS-07F-5769R, effective May 18, 2005 » To purchase through GSA, click here.

Blast Mitigation using BlastGard MTR Series Bomb Proof Trash Cans Trash Receptacles, a necessity for public waste management, pose a serious threat to Public Safety considering how easily they can conceal an explosive device planted by a terrorist. The BlastGard MTR series of bomb proof trash cans dramatically reduces all lethal threats posed by the detonation of an improvised explosive device (IED); namely, primary fragments, secondary fragments, mechanical effects (shock/blast pressure) and thermal effects (contact and radiation burn) from the fireball, afterburn and resultant post-blast fires. Click here to view the Technical Product Specifications Sheet.

The Threats

• Primary fragments (parts of the IED device that tend to be small and travel at high velocity)
• Secondary fragments (parts of the bin that tend to be larger and travel at a lower velocity)
• Blast pressure
• Thermal effects

Extensively tested by government agencies

• Our patent-pending blast-mitigating technology, BlastWrap, and its BlastGard Mitigating Trash Receptacles were designated Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technologies and placed on the "Approved Products List for Homeland Security." We were issued the "Designation" and "Certification" for our technology by the Department of Homeland Security under the Support Anti-Terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act of 2002 (the SAFETY ACT).
• Extensively tested by the U.S. Army Developmental Test Command's Redstone Technical Test Center at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama and at Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center in Socorro, NM.
• Tests witnessed by US Office of Naval Research (EOD Section) and Dept. of Homeland Security.
• Test charges shot on midpoint, bottom center, and sidewall on the weld seam.
• All sidewall and bottom tests were in-contact blasts, the most severe test of all because of shock-holing.

BlastGard MTR® Bomb Proof Trash Recptacle Features

• Triple Wall Technology, to withstand various charge weight capacity explosions (tested on Bottom Center, Sidewall Weld Seam, and Midpoint) without Horizontal Fragmentation.
• Weatherproof cover designed for easy service and minimum maintenance.
• Galvanized edges, walls and drains provide corrosion resistance in most environments.
• Sturdy galvanized exterior walls are factory covered with standard color and texture laminates. Laminates can also be custom designed with special art, logos or official seals (100 Piece Minimum). Dings and dents will be minimized with laminate over metal and they also resist fading compared to painted surfaces.
• Laminated exterior can be replaced by a local laminator if damaged or color schemes are revised.
• Galvanized metals may also be finished by the factory with optional anti graffiti paints.
• Brushed stainless steel finish exterior is available as an option and recommended for coastal or harsh outdoor environments.
• Attractive HDPE top conceals additional mitigating materials while hiding unsightly trash. Top stays attached with provided hinge during bag change and clean up. The top is hinged in rear as standard but may be ordered with hinge point on the left or right side of trash entry port. A plastic liner accepts multiple garbage bags at the same time, which are easily removed when full. Attendant can easily remove a full bag to prevent an explosive being placed above containment area during peak usage.
• Plastic liners are full capacity thirty-five (35) or forty (40) gallon, not nominal sizes.
• Plastic garbage bags are easy to remove and multiple garbage bags are held in place to provide primarily remove-only maintenance.
• Flexible internal drainage through bottom with or without anchoring. Spillage can also be stored internally for later clean up and wash down.
