If you’re looking to add a Strong Strap to your outdoor trash can in order to secure the lid, then there is only one question you need to ask.
Is my trash collected by garbage trucks with mechanical arms?
If the answer to that question is yes, then we recommend purchasing a Strong Strap AUTO. Our Strong Strap AUTO includes an “auto-notch” curbside setting for trash day. When the auto-notch is engaged and 10–15 pounds of waste inside your cart, the lid will open when dumped by a garbage truck.
The hold of the auto-notch will prevent most litter from wind or spills. It will deter smalls pests such as birds on collection day. Finally, it will help keep the lid shut and trash inside.
If you don’t have automated collection trucks or don’t care about locking a Strong Strap on trash day, then we recommend purchasing our Original Strong Strap. The original lid lock has only full-strength settings and is the toughest lock in trash.
